A Home Health Aide is a healthcare professional that assists in taking care of all personal care tasks, housekeeping and basic healthcare services. These highly trained professionals provide help to care recipients to achieve daily activities and complete all chores that they are no longer capable of accomplishing on their own. Some Home Health Aides come to the care recipients home daily, while others may live with the care recipient full time.
While Personal Care Aides are also trained in these services, a Home Health Aide receives additional training and is therefore ranked higher.
