Why CareLynk360 for HHAs
Three things HHAs tell us matter more than anything else on a per-diem marketplace.
Direct relationships with clients and agencies
You see who you'd be caring for, where, and for how many hours — the moment you're matched. No mystery placements where you find out the address an hour before the shift.
Real-time matching to nearby clients
CareLynk360 surfaces you to shifts within your commute radius first, so you are not driving 45 minutes for a 2-hour visit. You set the radius — we honor it.
No agency markup, transparent pay
Agencies and private-pay families post the actual hourly rate. You see it, you decide whether to reply, you keep it.
Frequently asked
Specific to Home Health Aides on the CareLynk360 marketplace.
Do I need to be a certified HHA or can I be a personal care aide?
Both can work. State requirements vary — some shifts require formal HHA certification (typically 75+ hours of training under federal Medicare rules), others require only personal-care-aide credentials. Every shift you're matched to lists the credential the facility requires.
Are private-pay family shifts safe to take?
Every private-pay family on CareLynk360 sets up a verified payment method before they can post a shift. When they reach out you'll see their rating from other HHAs and the visit address before you agree to the visit.
Does CareLynk360 reimburse mileage between clients?
Mileage reimbursement is set by the agency or family posting the shift. CareLynk360 surfaces that policy on every shift you're matched to, so you always know.
Can I take overnight or live-in shifts through CareLynk360?
Yes. Overnight and live-in shifts are common categories on CareLynk360 and surface as their own filter in your profile preferences. Every shift you're matched to spells out sleep arrangements, meal coverage, and the hourly versus daily-rate structure.
