HHA Training
Home Health Aides
Home Health Aides help nurses and other members of the health care team provide patient care. HHA’s can work in hospitals, nursing homes and long-term facilities under the supervision of licensed health care professionals. They also may work in private homes or psychiatric care settings. Home health aides/home care aides also provide in-home services for those unable to care for themselves or who require assistance with daily living activities.
Specific duties may include:
- Taking and recording patients’ temperature, blood pressure, and monitoring health and safety.
- Assisting with medication reminds.
- Assisting with or providing bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and other hygiene needs.
- Purchasing food and preparing and serving special diets to patients and families.
- Helping patients in and out of bed.
- Preparing and serving light meals and assisting or providing feeding.
- Physical demands: ability to lift up to 40 pounds unassisted (over 40 pounds with a lifting device or other assistance)
- Assisting with walking and exercises.
Job Outlook
There will be no shortage of jobs for HHAs in the near future. Government projections are for about a 70% job growth over the next ten years, mainly due to an increasing number of elderly citizens who will need services. Jobs are more readily available for certified HHAs.
