What does a Home Health Aide do?

Home health aides make a remarkable difference in the lives of the sick, disabled or elderly. They assist other health care professionals in maintaining and restoring a client to optimum levels of physical and emotional well-being while allowing that person to stay at home. You also may provide personal care such as bathing, dressing and grooming a client. This is a quick course and moves you from a hospital setting into a residential setting.
