Home Health Aide
A home health aide is a person who has completed a basic training program approved by the DOH. An aide provides selected aspects of patient care under nursing supervision and other professional supervision when required by the type of care provided to patients receiving certified home health agency services.
Home Health Aide Services
Home health aide services include simple health care tasks, personal hygiene services, housekeeping tasks essential to the patient's health, and other supportive services. Such services must be prescribed by a physician in accordance with a plan of treatment for the recipient.
They must be provided under the supervision of an RN from a CHHA or under the supervision of the appropriate professional therapist from the CHHA when the aide carries out simple procedures as an extension of physical or occupational therapy or speech pathology.
Long-Term Home Health Care Programs
A long-term home health care program (LTHHCP) is a coordinated plan of care and services provided at home to invalid, infirm, or disabled persons who are medically eligible for placement in a hospital or residential health care facility for an extended period of time if such program was unavailable. Such program shall be provided in the person's home or the home of a responsible relative or other responsible adult but not in a private proprietary home for adults, private proprietary convalescent home, residence for adults, or public home.
Personal Care Services
A personal care service is assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, feeding, and household tasks essential to the patient's health. Such services shall be prescribed by a physician in accordance with a plan of home care supervised by an RN.
Community and Social Support
The Health Home provider identifies available community-based resources and actively manages appropriate referrals, access, engagement, follow-up, and coordination of services. The Health Home provider has policies, procedures, and accountabilities (contractual agreements) to support effective collaborations with community-based resources, which clearly define roles and responsibilities. The plan of care includes community-based and other social support services and healthcare services that respond to the individual’s needs and preferences and contribute to achieving the individual’s goals.
