Why work as an Home Health Aide (HHA)?

Working in home care is unlike other health care settings: you have the privilege of working with people in the comfort of their own homes. You are invited into the private space of somebody who needs your help. And although some of your clients may be difficult and the work challenging at times, you should know that you are constantly making a positive difference in another person’s life—and that’s the best reward of all.

The job of a home health aide (HHA) is to help someone live independently at home by assisting with activities of daily living, among other responsibilities. It’s rewarding and important work.
