What is a Home Health Aide (RHHA)?
A home health aide is a person working for a home health agency or hospice that perform home health services ordered by a licensed physician, licensed chiropractor, a licensed podiatrist, or a licensed optometrist. The home health aide must successfully complete an agency’s competency evaluation. Registered home health aides are abbreviated as RHHA. Home Health Agencies and hospices are responsible for establishing their own policies on qualifications and needed training. State government does not certify training sites or the syllabus of each individual agency or organization under contract to provide training services.
