Home Health Aides (HHA)
The main responsibility of an HHA is to provide personal care. HHAs can help elderly adults with daily tasks such as bathing, getting dressed, preparing meals, eating, and hygiene needs. HHAs are usually required to get a certification after taking the necessary classes at a vocational school or college. HHAs can be very helpful to elderly adults around the house and can provide companionship. HHAs are not nurses and do not provide medication.
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA)
CNAs receive the same training in giving personal care as HHAs do, but they also receive additional medical training. Like HHAs, CNAs get a certification after completing their training at a vocational school or college and passing an exam. Like HHAs, CNAs can assist elderly adults with bathing, getting dressed, preparing meals, eating, and hygiene needs while also providing companionship. In addition to these tasks, CNAs are able to help elderly adults move into and out of wheelchairs, into and out of bed, change their position in bed.
Qualifications: Excellent interpersonal skills, including customer service, patience, empathy and compassion. Effective communication skills, including active listening, writing, speaking and reading comprehension. Good collaboration and teamwork skills.
Both positions must have current certification in the state of Florida as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). Home Health Aide must have documentation of completion of at least forty hours of training, pursuant to Section 400.497(1), F.S.
Must have a smartphone and reliable transportation.'
