Home Health Aide Training
Practical, hands-on caregiving skills for supporting clients in their own homes: personal care, mobility, nutrition, and safety.
What this program covers
Our Home Health Aide program focuses on the day-to-day skills of in-home caregiving: bathing and grooming assistance, safe transfers and mobility support, meal preparation and feeding assistance, light housekeeping related to client care, basic vital signs, and recognizing when to call for help. Instruction is hands-on and practical, built around the real situations aides encounter in a client's home.
