Duties and Responsibilities;Working as a home health aide (HHA) does not always mean working in a private home. Clients may reside in retirement communities, assisted living facilities, group homes, or other transitional housing. Regardless of where they work, most HHAs care for a single client at a time, but may have several clients to visit in one day. They are usually supervised by a patient’s healthcare provider and sometimes by a patient’s family members. Case length may vary from a few weeks to many years. Shift work is sometimes necessary.
Salary; $21,020
Education; There is no standardized educational requirement for HHAs. In some states, not even a high school diploma or equivalent is required. Other states require HHAs to take preparation classes (usually offered at community colleges or vocational/technical schools) before they begin working.
