Every Home Health Aide Works Under Nurse Supervision
Every Focus Family Care home health aide works under the supervision of a registered nurse. Every home health aide passes a Level 2 background check before entering a client's home.
A home health aide provides the hands-on daily support many clients need, while a nurse handles medical tasks. Clients who need medical care can add skilled nursing, and clients who need memory support can add Alzheimer's and dementia care.
Home Health Aide Versus Certified Nursing Assistant
A home health aide and a certified nursing assistant both provide personal care, and Focus Family Care places both. An aide focuses on daily living support in the home, while a CNA has additional clinical training. Focus Family Care matches the right caregiver to each client's needs.
