Home health aides act as a bridge to independent living for many seniors as well as those with disabilities who may also require assistance with activities of daily living. From monitoring a client’s vital signs and physical or mental condition, to assisting with grooming, hygiene and, chores around the house, home health aides allow clients to maintain the familiarity — and dignity — of living at home.

Additionally, the employment outlook for Home Health Aide is a positive one. With medical advances and a large aging population, the U.S. will experience growth in the health care industry in general. According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of HHAs is expected to grow rapidly in the next few years.
