What is an HHA?

A Home Health Aide is a vital member of the healthcare team, providing non-medical support to individuals who need assistance with daily tasks, including those with disabilities, the elderly, or patients recovering from surgery. HHAs help with activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility assistance, and more. They also play an important role in monitoring a patient's well-being, providing companionship, and communicating with family members and healthcare providers about the patient's condition.
