Home Health Aides

Global Care’s Certified Home Health Aides monitor the condition of people with chronic or terminal illness or disabilities and help them with daily living activities (ADL). They also help seniors who need assistance. Under the direction of our Registered Nurses, the Certified Home Health Aides may be allowed to give a client medication or to check their vital signs.

Home Health Aides Typically Do the Following:

Provide basic help with activities of daily living (ADL) outside of personal care
Assist clients in their daily personal tasks, such as bathing or dressing
Perform light housekeeping tasks, such as laundry, washing dishes, and vacuuming
Help to organize a client’s schedule and plan appointments
Arrange transportation to doctors’ offices or other outings
Shop for groceries and prepare meals to meet a client’s dietary specifications
Keep clients engaged in their social networks and communities
Provide safety and companionship

Home Health Aides may provide some basic health-related services, such as checking a client’s pulse, temperature, and respiration rate. They also may help with simple prescribed exercises.

Global Care’s Certified Home Health Aides are supervised by our clinical staff and may work with therapists and other medical specialists. They keep records on our clients, such as services received, condition, and progress. They also report changes in the client’s condition to their Registered Nurse or Therapist.
