Launching or strengthening a Family Home Health Aide (FHHA) program takes more than a training curriculum. Your agency needs clear policies, consistent documentation, qualified instructors, and a practical process for moving family caregivers from enrollment through training, competency validation, and assignment.

HCAF’s Family Home Health Aide Toolkit brings those pieces together in one organized resource. Developed for Florida home health providers serving medically fragile children, this comprehensive, 12-part toolkit helps your team spend less time building materials from scratch and more time supporting safe, consistent care at home.

What’s Inside

• Regulatory foundation and reference guides: Program requirements, eligibility considerations, and references to the Florida statutes and rules that guide agency implementation.
• Agency policies and procedures: Materials addressing hiring, training, competency validation, registered nurse (RN) delegation, supervision, medication administration, and adverse incident reporting.
• 20 practical operational tools: Readiness checklists, referral and eligibility screens, assessment tools, delegation authorizations, daily shift records, handoff forms, supervisory visit records, and compliance audits.
• Human resources resources: Recruitment and screening procedures, personnel file checklists, orientation and assignment controls, scheduling and timekeeping guidance, and performance review processes.
• 40-hour foundational education materials: An instructor guide, student manual, presentation and facilitation guide, module quizzes, final examination, answer keys, and remediation resources.
• 20-hour pediatric skills education framework: Guidance for developing child-specific, in-person instruction, with curriculum mapping, attendance records, skills-practice documentation, and completion forms.
• 16-hour clinical training and validation tools: Patient-specific competency checklists, clinical activity logs, RN attestations, remediation records, and final validation summaries.
• Ongoing program oversight: Annual revalidation and supervision trackers, recurring compliance calendars, and agency adoption checklists.

A Shared Resource for Your Entire Team

Designed for administrators, directors of nursing, supervising RNs, educators, human resources staff, and compliance and operations teams, the toolkit provides a common foundation for coordinating responsibilities and documenting each step of the FHHA pathway.

Whether your agency is preparing to launch or refining an existing program, these materials can help you organize implementation, strengthen staff preparation, and identify gaps before caregivers begin an assignment.
