Home health aides perform some of the most basic functions in rendering care to our clients. Also known as homemakers or home attendants, home health aides assist the family in rendering care as well as helping the client remain in his or her home. Basically, our home health aides here at Compassionate Care do whatever it is needed by clients who cannot live by themselves without assistance under minimum supervision of a nurse or family member.

Basic skills that are performed by our Home Health Aides include:

• Assistance in the performance of ADL's (activities of daily living)
• Transferring and assistance in ambulation
• Using the toilet and bath
• Checking of pulse and respiration rate
• Assistance in eating and walking

These skills which can be safely delegated to home health aides provide reinforcement in nursing care at home. Their assistance might be simple but these will greatly improve clients' health status. If you would like to inquire more about this service, you may call us anytime at - 301-270-1577.
