Certified Home Health Aide

Certified Home Health Aides deliver higher standards for home care.

Boost Home Health Aides bring compassionate, friendly and professional care to your residence. They take care to address each patient’s home care needs and work closely with nurses and therapists to ensure every duty is properly filled.

Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) services help individuals with personal hygiene, activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, and other personal assistance duties from home, all while coordinating care with our multidisciplinary team.

A Home Health Aide helps patients with direct health care needs, often under the supervision of a nurse. Certified nursing assistants may also be called a nursing assistant, a nurse’s aid, or a patient care assistant. HHA’s work directly with patients and nurses, helping with the many physical and complex tasks for patient care.

Services provided by our team (in conjunction with nursing or therapy services) include:

• Turning or moving patients
• Gathering medical supplies
• Grooming patients by brushing their hair and teeth, shaving them, etc.
• Feeding patients and documenting their food and liquid intake
• Answering patient calls
• Documenting information
• Stocking supplies
• Assisting with some medical procedures
• Safety procedures
• Bathing assistance
• Dressing assistance
• Nail care (no nail trimming or cutting)
• Assistance with catheter care and dressings
• Assistance with medications
• Meal preparation
• Ambulation and mobility assistance
• And more 

Boost Home Health Aides meet high training and education requirements.

To become a Home Health Aide, individuals must complete extensive training at an accredited school, on-the-job supervision, and background checks. Boost Home Healthcare adheres to these high standards for healthcare providers.

When you work with one of our home health aides, you can feel confident you’re working with someone who is experienced, certified, and cares about providing quality home assistance to improve patients’ lives.

When Should You Hire a Certified Home Health Aide?

Determining the right time to seek in-home care services, like a CHHA, can be a subtle process. It typically emerges from gradual changes rather than a sudden health crisis – which often requires more skilled facilities like nursing homes.

While incidents like a fall that impacts your mobility are clear indicators, the signs that you might benefit from skilled care at home typically evolve slowly.

Daily tasks that once felt routine – such as cooking, cleaning, or driving – may start to feel increasingly burdensome. It’s during this shift that the ease of managing everyday activities begins to wane, and the consideration for hiring a home health aide becomes pertinent.

Ask yourself these questions:

• Is cooking and cleaning becoming more difficult?
• Do you or your loved one need help bathing?
• Has driving become difficult?
• Is it difficult for you or your loved one to get in and out of the bathtub?
• Are you or your loved one falling behind on your medicine regimen?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, expert care from a certified home health aide may be a good solution. Contact us today. We can provide guidance on how to find ways to pay for home health care and ensure you get the best possible care!
