Description

Home health aides are considered health care paraprofessionals and must meet state-set training requirements. (Other types of home health workers are sometimes lumped together under the title of home health aides) They might live with the care recipient or work regular shifts. Along with doing routine chores the care recipient can no longer manage, such as laundry, cooking and shopping, the aides must be able to: Assist with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, moving from one place to another, toileting and cleaning up afterward. Check vital signs such as blood pressure, respiration and pulse. Monitor a client's physical and mental condition; level of exercise; and how much they are eating, drinking and going to the bathroom. Handle emergencies such as an accident, heart attack or stroke. There are a number of ways to find in-home care. Referrals from us as health care professionals and others who have used in-home care from us may be the best... Places to find a home care aide call now at 24/7 or
