3 Types of Caregivers
Care Professional
Many caregivers have paid professional working experience within the home care field. Many times their career is sparked when caring for a loved one and discovering a love of providing care to others. Often professional caregivers do not have a certification or specific degree. They develop and hone their skill sets and knowledge through training and first-hand experience.
Home Health Aide
A Home Health Aide (HHA) is a specialist that is trained to assist with an individual's Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and their personal care. An HHA, in most cases, is more suitable to working within an individual's home or place of living than a CNA would be. HHA's however, are more limited in the tasks they can provide when compared to a caregiver that has a certification
Certified Nursing Assistant
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is a caregiver who has completed an approved and accredited training program and received licensing within their respective state. A CNA often works within medical facilities; they can also provide care within an individual's home or place of living. A CNA is able to provide more medical related care than a caregiver without licensing.
