About the Course

Home Health Aid training prepares learners to support clients who are elderly, recovering from illness, or living with a disability, in their own home rather than a clinical facility.

The course focuses on the judgment calls a home aide has to make alone — recognising when a change in a client's condition needs a phone call to family or a doctor, and when it's simply part of an ordinary day.

Sessions combine short lectures with hands-on practice using mobility equipment, transfer techniques, and basic monitoring tools.

What You Will Learn

supporting a client's prescribed medication schedule without administering medication directly
