Home health aides are certified nursing assistants who have earned the additional credentials necessary to work in the home care field. At Life Care at Home, our aides provide personal care services such as bathing, and assistance with ambulation and range of motion exercise. Aides also provide sitter and private services, which may include running errands, preparing meals or doing light housekeeping.

Sitters and private services
Sitters are available to stay with patients at home or in the hospital when family or friends are unable to do so. In the home setting, sitters may also provide private services such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, running errands and grocery shopping. However, sitters do not provide hands-on care.

Live-in services
Live-in services are for patients who should not be left at home alone because of medical or safety reasons. These services are offered on a 24-hour basis and may include assistance with personal care, household tasks, meal preparation and other services requested by the client.
