Training and Education

What’s Needed: Home health aides typically have a high school diploma or its equivalent.

Working through an agency usually requires training under a nurse’s or doctor’s supervision.

What you study:

Health science and psychology courses at any educational level are an asset. For those planning to attend nursing school the following coursework is recommended:

Human anatomy and physiology
Psychology
Nutrition
Nursing

Video Overview

A short intro of what home health aides do in their daily work. Produced for the US Dept of Labor.

A Day in the Life

Your day begins with a workout; as a home health aide you must keep yourself strong and mobile to help those who have limited mobility. Depending on where you live and whether you work for a state agency you’ll want to eat a nutritious breakfast too. In some states sharing the patients’ meals is prohibited and you may not get a chance to eat until later in the day or between visits.

You must keep yourself strong and mobile to help those with limited mobility.

Your first visit of the day isn’t with a patient but with his daughter. Her elderly father is recuperating from a fall and mornings alone are difficult for him. Although he’s physically limited he doesn’t need significant care beyond assistance and companionship. After meeting him and his daughter you’re pleased to accept the position. Your roles will include preparing breakfast offering assistance in moving around the house taking short walks and seeing that he takes his medications. Your work in this home fits well with your scheduled hours in other households.

After waving goodbye to your newest charge you’re off to your next home visit. Your next patient’s needs are somewhat more challenging; she has significantly limited mobility and moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Some days are clearer than others for her but today seems like a good one as she greets you by name. You and she chat as you put away the groceries you’ve brought and prepare lunch. She enjoys having her hair washed and brushed so you’ve planned that for after lunch and a nap.

Most of your time is spent in one home but that can change in a month or two.

Depending on where you live you might prepare your client’s medications or you may remind her to take them. Some states regulate whether home health aides can give medications without a nurse present. If you work for a state agency you’ll be apprised of these rules as part of your orientation.

Most of your day is spent in one home but that may change in a month or two. Your current schedule changes as people recuperate or move to assisted-living facilities. For now though you’re with your charge until evening. If you work for an agency you may stop by the office after your shift to deliver notes or charts. If you work in a team with another aide you’ll discuss your patient’s care. Continuity is vital for home care and coordinating with other aides and nurses ensures it.

Certifications and Licensing

Certified home health aides must complete a training course and pass an examination. Many choose to become certified for care concentrations by learning how to design and prepare specialized diets or care for adolescents with special needs. While certification is not necessary in all states most agencies that work with Medicaid and Medicare to provide care require it.

Job Flexibility

Full-time versus part-time:

Working as a home health aide is typically low-key. Unless an emergency occurs the pace of an average day is leisurely. Aides often have time to read or watch television; it’s often a pleasantly social occupation. For those who enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of working in a household instead of an office home health care is an excellent option.

Aides must be available for their charges so it isn’t a job that permits late arrivals or long lunches. Aides who work through an agency generally work full-time but some agencies arrange part-time work for those who are still in school. For private caregivers daily and weekly hours are more flexible.
