What do Home Health Aides do?
Home health aides assist individuals with daily tasks and basic care in their homes, including bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and medication reminders, while also providing companionship and monitoring their clients’ physical and mental health.
They are supervised by a nurse or case manager and work to help patients maintain their independence at home after an illness, injury, disability, or to cope with the effects of aging.
Personal Care (Activities of Daily Living): Assisting with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and helping with mobility from bed to a wheelchair, according to H2HHC and www.baptisthealth.com.
Household Tasks: Performing light housekeeping like laundry, washing dishes, changing bed linens, and grocery shopping.
Meal Preparation: Planning and preparing meals for clients and assisting with feeding if necessary, notes Friends & Family Home Care Services.
Medical Support: Monitoring and reporting vital signs, providing medication reminders, and performing basic medical procedures under supervision.
Companionship: Providing emotional and social support, which is a key benefit for individuals experiencing isolation.
Transportation: Accompanying clients to medical appointments, shopping trips, or social events.
Monitoring Health: Keeping an eye on a client’s physical and mental condition, exercise levels, and overall well-being, according to Coursera.
Supervision and Coordination
Home health aides are not independent practitioners; they typically work under the direction of a registered nurse or therapist and report to a supervisor.
They often work closely with a patient’s case manager or doctor and are responsible for documenting the patient’s conditions and communicating any changes or concerns to other healthcare professionals.
