Home health aides help care for people with disabilities, chronic illnesses, age-related issues, and cognitive impairments. They do so by providing a range of personal care services to patients in their homes and are part of a wider home care team. Generally, home health aides work under the supervision of a registered nurse or therapist. They provide high-quality care to patients by helping with personal care, assisting with daily living activities, and adhering to outlined policies and procedures.
