Aide Training, Competency Evaluation, and Qualifications

Sets how aides qualify before serving clients: the five ODA routes for PASSPORT personal care aides (state tested nurse aide, Medicare home health aide, one year of experience plus competency evaluation, a vocational program, or a training and competency evaluation program of at least thirty hours covering ten listed subjects), the homemaker aide route, the Ohio Home Care Waiver certificate and first aid requirements, and the Agency's own standard applying the ODA routes to private-pay aides. Covers competency evaluation by written or electronic test and in-person return demonstration, additional training before new tasks, and verification records (Forms OH-HC-TRN-01-A and OH-HC-TRN-01-B).
