Home Health Aid Training Course

We offer a seventy-six hour Home Health Aide Training Course approved by the NJ Board of Nursing. We hold training sessions every month and help students with the certification process. If you are interested in becoming a Certified Home Health Aide, Gentle Care Home Services has Registered Nurses on staff to train and supervise all of the new Home Health Aides. Our training sessions are each month. It takes only two weeks to become a Certified HHA.

At Gentle Care Home Services the Training program covers:

* Understanding Basic Human Needs
* Working With Sick and/or Elderly Persons
* Food & Nutrition
* Nutrition Problems
* Preventing Spread of Diseases
* Anatomy & Physiology
* Physical Therapy & Body Mechanics
* Emergency Care & Procedures
* Accident Prevention & Safety in the Home
* Understanding Mental Health & Mental Illness
* Understanding Elderly
* Personal care Services
* Death & Dying

Our course begins every first Monday of the month and runs for two weeks, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.

We do occasionally have a night course that is given from Monday through Thursday, 5pm to 8pm. However, the day course is offered more frequently than the night course.

After completing the two-week course, you will be given a test. When you pass, you will go on to fill out an application to be mailed to the Board of Nursing. After fingerprinting, a criminal history background check and approval, we will begin assigning cases to you, immediately.

Below, please find and review the dates and times of our HHA training course for the year. You will need to come into the office to fill out an application. Please also call the agency to find out the rates for each class. Thank you and we hope to see you soon!

If you have questions, don't hesitate to call us at 732-777-0021.
