Caring Hands Home Health, Inc. is accepting applications for In Home Care Aides and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs).

An In Home Care Aide offers personal care services that are part of a client’s established plans of care. In Home Care Aides provide services that include helping clients:

• Maintain their personal hygiene by assisting them with bathing, dressing, grooming, etc.
• Assisting with toileting and incontinence care
• Assisting with transfers from the bed to a chair and other locations
• Preparing meals for those who have difficulty doing so themselves

Besides providing personal care, an In Home Care Aide helps with household chores. Having someone else take care of these duties gives clients the satisfaction of knowing that essential housekeeping chores will not be neglected. An In Home Care Aide helps in this way by:

• Washing dishes
• Doing laundry
• Sweeping and vacuuming
• Dusting
• Making beds
• Preparing meals
• Grocery shopping
• Running errands when needed

Most importantly, In Home Care Aides provide the companionship many clients need to maintain their self-worth and dignity. Family members may not be readily available to provide care or visit their loved one, especially if they are raising a family or do not live in the same area.

In Home Care Aides, on the other hand, are there each day to:

• Accompany the client to medical appointments
• Help the client with exercising, as prescribed by a doctor
• Play games and help clients with their hobbies
• Help clients maintain a prescribed diet
• Read to clients
• Engage in meaningful conversations with clients

In some cases, In Home Care Aides are with older adults more than their clients’ family members. So, it stands to reason that concerned family members want to talk with In Home Care Aides to find out how their loved one is progressing. You essentially become part of the family.
