Home health aides are trained professionals who provide essential care and support to individuals in their homes. They assist with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, as well as medication management and basic medical tasks such as taking vital signs. Home health aides may also provide light housekeeping, meal preparation, and transportation assistance. They work under the supervision of a registered nurse or licensed therapist and are trained to provide compassionate care that promotes independence and quality of life. Home health aides play a critical role in enabling individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or injuries to remain in their homes and maintain their independence.
