Welcome & the Role of a Home Health Aide

▶ Narration

A home health aide helps clients live safely and comfortably in their own home — assisting with daily activities, watching for changes, and supporting independence. You always work from a care plan and report to a supervising nurse. Knowing your scope matters: you do not diagnose, prescribe, or perform clinical tasks you are not trained and authorized to do.
