What Does a Home Health Aide (HHA) Do?

Home Health Aides (HHAs) provide hands-on support to help patients remain safely and comfortably at home. At Regency, HHAs are trained to assist with personal care, mobility, and day-to-day routines.

Typical tasks may include bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, walking and transfers, light housekeeping, simple meal preparation, and observing changes in the patient’s condition. HHAs work under a care plan developed by a nurse or care manager.

If you are unsure whether you need an HHA or a different type of service, our team can help you decide. See “How to Start Home Care Services.”
