Compassionate Care at Your Home
At Assurance Hospice, we understand the importance of providing comprehensive and compassionate care for your loved ones during their most vulnerable times. Our Home Health Aides are dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of life through personalized, attentive care right in the comfort of your own home.
What Are Home Health Aides?
Home Health Aides (HHAs) are professionally trained caregivers who assist with the daily living activities of individuals receiving in-home hospice care. They play a critical role in maintaining the dignity, comfort, and overall well-being of patients. While they do not administer medical treatments, they work closely with registered nurses and the broader hospice care team to deliver seamless at home help.
