What role does a health care worker play in quality care?
Home health care is typically more cost effective than staying in a hospital or nursing home which ranges in cost from $3,000 to $9,000 per month. Home health care assistants help maintain a well-deserved quality of life at home and avoid a strange, institutional environment. This kind of personal home health care is typically provided by a home health aide or a certified nursing assistant. They generally do tasks such as bathing, dressing, and assisting to the bathroom.
