Orientation and Annual In-Service Training
Sets the orientation every employee completes before any direct, in-person contact with a client, including the topics the Ohio Department of Aging requires, and the annual in-service training: six hours of ODA-approved in-service every twelve months for ODA personal care and homemaker aides, twelve hours for Ohio Home Care Waiver aides of accredited agencies, the Agency's own minimum for all other staff, bloodborne pathogens training, and the annual written acknowledgment of the Ohio incident management rule.
