Course description
What this program prepares you for
If you want to work directly with patients in the medical sector but don't have the time or money to study as a nurse, one alternative is to become a licensed home health aide. Many seniors choose to stay in their homes rather than in a nursing facility, and home health aide services allow them — or anybody else with chronic diseases or disabilities — to remain secure and healthy in a comfortable, familiar environment.
Certified home health aides assist with basic tasks such as bathing, dressing, basic hygiene, and transfers. You may also be asked to help with light housekeeping and errands. In certain settings, you can also assist a healthcare practitioner with administering medication and taking vital signs.
There are no substantial curricular differences between in-classroom training and online programs. In both cases, a 76-hour training regimen and an assessment after the course are required. The key distinction is how the coursework is taken: classroom training requires a student to remain in the classroom for the whole 76 hours under instructor supervision, whereas online programs are independent of the classroom. After completing the online portion of the 60-hour course, students spend 16 hours in the classroom.
