RN-led in-service training for aides
In-service training your aides can finish on a break.
We are building short online lessons for home health and hospice aides. Aides learn on their phones between visits. Each finished lesson is logged, so your in-service records stay in one place. Designed to support compliance with 42 CFR 484.80(d) and 418.76(d).
Early enrollment is open to home health agencies and hospices. We share pricing by email.
- 12 hoursThe yearly minimum for each aide. Our plan: 12 modules of one clock hour each.
- RN-ledLessons are designed with a registered nurse educator.
- 6 to 8 minPer lesson. Short enough to finish between visits.
- Phone-firstMade for phones and shared computers. Plain English.
Who it's for
Built for the people who keep aides trained.
Home health agencies
Medicare-certified agencies must give each aide at least 12 hours of in-service training every 12 months.
Hospices
Hospice aides have the same 12-hour rule, under 42 CFR 418.76(d).
Administrators and DONs
See who finished which lesson, without chasing paper sign-in sheets.
Aides
Short lessons in plain English, on their own phone, at their own pace.
What changes
From chasing hours to a file that stays current.
Without it
- Aides miss group sessions because of visit schedules.
- Hours sit on paper sign-in sheets in different places.
- The training file gets pulled together right before a survey.
With HHI Training
- Aides take 6 to 8 minute lessons between visits.
- Each finished lesson and quiz is logged.
- Your records stay in one place all year.
The rule says in-service training must be supervised by a registered nurse, and your agency must keep the records. We will walk you through how that works for your agency.

Inside each one-hour module
- About 45 minutes of videoSplit into 6 or 7 short lessons of 6 to 8 minutes.

This is our planned curriculum. Topics may change as we build with early agencies. Module 1 is being made first. Lessons use made-up examples only, and we never ask for patient information.
How it works
Three steps to get started.
Email us
Tell us if you're a home health agency or a hospice, and about how many aides you train each year.
We talk it through
We show you what's ready and what's coming. We also cover how RN supervision of in-service fits your agency.
Your aides learn
As modules open, aides get a link and learn on their own phone. Each finished lesson is logged for your records.
Why we're building this
Aides work in homes. Training should fit that.
Home health and hospice aides spend their days on the road, going from one patient's home to the next. Getting every aide 12 hours of in-service each year often means juggling schedules, paper sign-in sheets and make-up sessions.
HHI Training is an RN-led company based in Florida. We are building training that fits how aides work. Lessons are short, in plain words, on the phone they already carry.
We are building it with early agencies, one module at a time. That way the lessons cover the problems agencies face.
Questions
What administrators and DONs ask us.
Does this replace our in-service program?
No. We provide the lessons and a record of who finished what. Your agency still runs its program, makes sure a registered nurse supervises in-service training, and keeps its own files.
Will this make sure we pass our survey?
We can't promise any survey result. The lessons and records are designed to support compliance with 42 CFR 484.80(d). How your agency uses them is up to you.
How many in-service hours does each aide need?
Federal rules say each home health aide needs at least 12 hours of in-service training in each 12-month period (42 CFR 484.80(d)). Hospice aides have the same 12-hour rule (42 CFR 418.76(d)). Read the full guide to the 12-hour rule.
Can hospices use HHI Training?
Yes. Hospice aides also need at least 12 hours of in-service training each 12-month period. Check the topic list with your clinical lead before you assign modules.
What do aides need to take the lessons?
A phone or a shared computer with internet and a web browser, plus an email address to get their link.
