Home Health Aide Course
Are you looking for an opportunity where you can make a difference in people’s lives? There has never been a more perfect time for you to start Home Health Aide Training in Florida. As the average age of the United States’ population increases, demand is greater than ever for competent Home Health Aide professionals.
In addition, healthcare technology has become more compact and less expensive motivating many to elect to be cared for in their home instead of in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and/or hospitals. In many cases, the care required is monitoring vital signs, assisting with daily activities like preparing meals and cleaning and helping with personal care such as bathing.
Ultimately, getting your Home Health Aide certification will be a fulfilling and empowering experience that can change your life, as well as improve the lives of the clients in your care.
NOTE: Once you successfully complete the Home Health Aide training course, a two hour in-person, hands-on clinical practice session is required to meet the criteria for certification.
