Seniors and other patients who are unable to carry out some everyday tasks on their own can get care and help from a home health assistant. Even though HHAs are capable of performing some medical-related tasks like checking blood pressure and the patient’s pulse, they frequently assist patients more with activities of daily living like walking, bathing, and dressing. Depending on state criteria, being a home health aide frequently necessitates a high school graduation or GED equivalent, completion of a program at a community college or vocational school, and possibly passing certification exams.
