A companion/homemaker prepares meals, does light housekeeping and offers companionship. A certified home health aide is qualified to provide personal care, such as bathing, grooming and dressing. Home health aide certification requires completion of a 76-hour, nurse-supervised training program. There are no training requirements for a home maker/companion.
