FAQs for finding home health aides near you
What is a home health aide?
While some caregivers assist with basic tasks in the home and act more as a companion for their senior clients, home health aides can provide support with more health-adjacent roles. For example, they can help feed, bath, and dress patients. They can also make sure patients are taking their medications on time (although they don’t administer drugs).
What are the duties of a home health aide?
What the duties of a home health aide are depend on the unique needs of the individual they’re caring for. For example, some senior citizens lose the ability to drive and may struggle to keep up with challenging household chores. Others may need more physical help in regards to bathing and getting dressed. Many home health aides assist with cooking and housework. Some can even offer transportation services.

How do I create a home health aide job description?
Before you begin your search for a home health aide, it can be helpful to create a home health aide job description so you have a clear idea of what you’re looking for.
