Home Healthcare Aide Program

Home Healthcare Aide Professional

Home Healthcare Aides provide assistance to elderly, disabled, ill, and mentally disabled persons who live in their own homes or in a residential care facility. Some Home Healthcare Aides work with families in which a parent is incapacitated and small children need care. Others help discharged hospital patients who have relatively short-term needs.

Home Healthcare Aides assist patients in their homes by focusing on their specific health and personal needs. Some tasks performed by home care aides include personal care and homemaking. They may also work with the patient’s occupational therapist, physical therapist and other caregivers to ensure that the patient is reaching his or her optimal physical, mental and social well-being.

Students who enroll in the Home Healthcare Aide Professional program will participate in classroom lectures as well as hands on labs. This program will provide students with the skills they need to function as a dependable and trained home health care aide.
