Home Health Aides help care for physically or mentally ill, injured, disabled or infirm individuals who are confined to their homes or living in residential care facilities. They may also provide daily care services to people with disabilities who work outside the home. Home Health Aides work under the supervision of a nurse who may or may not be readily available. They also work closely with family members in the provision of care. Both men and women can work as home health aides.
