How to become a home health care aide?

MountainMoose Feb 2019
Are you asking about how to become a home health aide? If so, there are many places to begin to find out what you need to quality. Check out websites of agencies that hire CNAs (be aware these jobs are differently) and look at their qualification requirements. These range from CNA certified, CPR qualified, age, and background checks.

You can find CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) classes online. For places to start, check your local trade schools, Red Cross, county cooperative extending classes, and nursing homes. These classes can be spendy (my class last year cost $675, but they gave me a scholarship of $400, so my cost was $275). Also some agencies upon your hiring will reimburse you for your class cost.

Any specific questions?
