A companion or home maker will prepare meals, do light housekeeping and keep the person company. Only a certified home health aide is allowed to provide hands-on care such as bathing and dressing. A certified home health aide has completed a 76-hour training program with supervision; there are no training requirements for a home maker/companion.
