Special Touch Application Forms

All Special Touch applicants must fill out a significant amount of paper work in order to complete their personal file and for us to select those who would best meet the requirements to work as home health aides. We would like to utilize more of the time you are applying with talking to you rather than you sitting in our office filling out paperwork. For this reason, below you will find much of the paperwork for you to print out and complete before you come to the office. Do not forget, you also must bring in your Social Security Card and government issued photo ID (work authorization if needed) and your original HHA certificate if you have one.

We take applications at our main office Monday – Friday from 9am – 3pm:

2091 Coney Island Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11223
