Home health aides are professionals who provide in-home care and personal assistance to disabled or chronically ill people. They are often employed through personal care agencies or home health care companies. They work under the supervision of a licensed nurse. They provide a wide range of services to their patients including helping them in daily activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, eating, feeding, and taking medicine. They may also assist with transportation, housekeeping, and meal preparation. They are required to have an associate degree in nursing, or a high school diploma and a certificate in home health aide and pass a test. They must also be certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, basic life support and first-aid. They are also required to have a license to practice as a home health aide in the state where they live. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.housewareline.com/
