What Are Duties of a Home Health Aide?
Home health aide duties include providing routine personal care and basic health care for convalescent or disabled persons in the patients’ own homes. Their clients primarily include elderly people and individuals with long-term illnesses and disabilities. Most home health aides are employed by hospitals and health care agencies, although some are self-employed. Although the work is low-paying, employment outlook is excellent because of the aging population (see link in Resources).
