Home Health Aide

Duties and Responsibilities:Home care assistants are trained to assist the elderly, disabled, mentally ill, and/or terminally ill. Home care assistants often work in private homes to help patients with daily tasks such as personal grooming and meal preparation. Families sometimes bring in these workers to care for their loved one when the job becomes too much for them to handle. Depending on the condition of the patient, actual feeding may be necessary. Light, general housekeeping may also be expected of a home care assistant.

Salary: 20,820 USD

Education: But according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2014), most home health aides have earned a high school diploma. This is true for personal care aides as well. HHAs who aim to work in a certified home health or hospice agency are required to get formal training.

Reflection:  I would like to be a Home health Aide because i would like to take care of old people
