Home Health Aide (HHA) Training

For the most part, certified Home Health Aides provide important services to the elderly, people with chronic illnesses, and individuals with disabilities. A typical workday for a Home Health Aide could involve simple companionship with their clients, ambulatory assistance, such as transferring a patient from sitting to standing or moving the patient from a wheelchair to a bathing chair, providing outdoor transportation, performing general housekeeping duties, administering personal care, meal preparation, and important medication reminders.

But before you can begin a career as a Home Health Aide, you must first obtain certain skills to perform on the job. Additionally, individuals with great interpersonal skills, like the ability to listen, communicate, and connect with patients, time management skills, and physical stamina are also quite beneficial.
