Overview
A Home Health Aide is a professional caregiver responsible for helping patients maintain their health and hygiene in their place of residence. Their duties include shopping for groceries and preparing meals, grooming patients, and handling basic logistics such as paying bills or scheduling appointments.
A Home Health Aide (HHA) provides direct care to patients in nursing homes, clinics, or extended-care facilities. HHA’s responsibilities include feeding and bathing patients and specimen collection. The HHA also participates in rehabilitation and therapy programs under the supervision of a Registered Nurse.
What Home Health and Personal Care Aides Do
Home health aides monitor the condition of people with disabilities or chronic illnesses and help them with daily living activities. They often help older adults who need assistance.

Home health aides typically do the following:
- Assist clients in their daily personal tasks, such as bathing or dressing
- Perform housekeeping tasks, such as laundry, washing dishes, and vacuuming
- Help to organize a client’s schedule and plan appointments
- Arrange transportation to doctors’ offices or other outings
- Shop for groceries and prepare meals to meet a client’s dietary specifications
