Home Health Aides Promote Independence

Home health aides are health care workers trained to provide basic care to people who are unable to care for themselves. In fact, roughly eight out of 10 people who need long-term care can get it right at home with the care of a home health aide. The role you play may help your clients stay at home and out of facilities longer.
