Course Description and Details
"CHHA” means a certified homemaker-home health aide who is employed by a home care services agency and who, under supervision of a registered professional nurse, follows a delegated nursing regimen or performs tasks which are delegated.
A CHHA may perform home-making activities, as requested, or assigned by the patient, the patient’s family, or a registered professional nurse responsible for the patient’s care.
When you or a loved one are recovering after an illness and need assistance at home, it is reassuring to know you can hire a certified homemaker-home health aide (CHHA).
