Train To Become A Home Health Aide With Golden Years!

Home Health Aides (HHAs) fills a significant gap between patients and other members of the healthcare team - providing quality-of-life care to patients in residential settings, hospice facilities, and Assisted Living Facilities. They also gather vital information about patients' conditions, which they document and relay to their supervisors, so their patients can get the care they need when they need it. HHAs are critical members of the medical profession. And as a home health aide, you'll not only help put your patients at ease and provide quality of life, but you may be asked to check their vital signs, observe their health conditions, assist with activities of daily living, and create and maintain healthcare documents. In addition, you may be tasked with providing patients with first aid care, assistance with homemaking, or prepare a meal.
