Home Health Aide

When restrictions of aging, disability, chronic illness or cognitive difficulty make it challenging for individuals to care fully for themselves at home, home health aides can assist. A home health aide improves the quality of life for people through professional, hands-on care and compassionate kindness. For many Right at Home clients, a home health aide or caregiver becomes a trusted friend.

Home health aides with specialized training can administer a client’s medication or check vital signs under the direction of a registered nurse or other medical professional. Qualified home health aides may also change bandages and dressings and help with medical equipment. Typically, when in-home clients need skilled health care, home health aides are trained as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) or Patient Care Assistant (PCA).*

Role of a Home Health Aide

Home health aides provide everything from companionship to basic health assistance, including:

  • Bathing and dressing
  • Light housekeeping (laundry, vacuuming, etc.)
  • Medication monitoring
  • Grocery shopping
  • Meal planning and preparation
  • Transportation to doctor’s offices and other appointments
  • Companionship visits
  • Organization of schedules and appointments
  • Physical exercise and at-home therapy exercises

In addition, many home health aides are also trained to check pulse, temperature, respiration, help with braces or artificial limbs and perform a number of skilled nursing duties.

Home health aides can also help with specific in-home care needs related to:

  • Alzheimer’s and Other Related Dementia
  • Hypertension/Stroke Recovery
  • Heart Disease
  • Cancer Recovery
  • Hospice/Palliative Support

"They have not let me down. If someone is late or sick, they will inform me. The caregiver is very professional in the way she handles herself and how she treats Wallace. She is very polite and cheery with him. She has a good attitude and does everything very well. She always has a good attitude and pays attention to him often. They have been able to provide caregivers that are able to provide the exact care that Wallace needs. I have no other suggestions. (Interview completed with Avis Adams, Wallace's partner)"

"The office is very responsive and the caregivers do all we ask them to do in taking care of my father in law. They accompany my father in law, which I couldn't do all the time, so it gave me more freedom in my life. They fulfill my father's needs. They give him his showers once a week and help him around. They were all capable of doing the things my father in law needs, whether it be helping him get around, helping him shower, or just being there with him. I didn't interact with them much but they were very nice and my father in law liked them. When I contact them, they are very quick to get back to me. Two of the caregivers were wonderful, but there was one that was really short and she had a hard time taking care of him because of that. We would like one consistent caretaker. (Interview completed with client's wife.) "

"They took care of my son and everything went very well. The house was clean and my son was fed too. Right at Home has good people so it's a positive thing and they do everything well. He was very happy with the care he is getting. They seemed very attentive to his needs. They provide good people to take care of my son while I am gone. There is nothing for now for them to change."

"Right at Home seems to have better quality caregivers. Right at Home is accountable for their services. The caregivers are great people. The caregivers know their routine and they get started right away. Generally, the women caregivers are more compassionate than the men caregivers. The office staff is getting better at not waiting until the last minute to give notices. I appreciate the personalities of the caregivers and their accountability. There is nothing else Right at Home can improve."

"I liked the two people that came. My caregivers emptied my porta-potty and my trash. Ben keeps busy the whole time he's here. Ben does so many different things. He gathers the trash and throws it away and takes care of my dirty dishes. Ben talks to me and wants to know how I feel and how I'm doing. He seems able to do what he needs to. He starts my husband's truck and tried to pump up the tire on my golf cart."

"The caregiver lady was very interesting and she was also a very good Christian. We read the bible together and she stayed the night with me. She made me feel very comfortable in my own home. She paid total attention to me and was able to answer questions that I had regarding what was going on. She sat and really listened to me. I could tell by the loving care she gave that she had compassion. It was like a father-son situation. I don't think there was anything they could have done differently."
