Home Health Aide
Program Description
Home Health Aides help older-aged, convalescent, or disabled people who live at home as opposed to living in a health center. They are not legally allowed administer medications and other health care procedures.
Once in a while, they may provide additional services which include: changing non-sterile dressings, giving massages and alcohol rubs, helping with artificial limbs and supportive gear.
For those who are far too disabled or old for relatives or friends to take care of, home health aides can provide this further care. Some may be temporary aides to those recently released from the hospital.
In home health organizations, a registered nurse, physical therapist, or social worker typically delegates certain duties to home health aides and supervises them as they keep track of their duties and record the condition and progression on the patient. The changes in the patient is reported to the case manager or supervisor.
