I am looking into going to a new agency for home care for my dad. One agency that I spoke with said that their people are all certified CNAs or HHAs. Can someone explain what these titles mean?

I had to have training from the state of Texas to become a certified nursing assistant we are licensend.
Unless you took the training you could not work as a CNA still can't... Lynne |

Make sure they are Medicare approved, too.
This way the charges will be covered. |

Ok CNA stands for Certified Nurses Asst. HHA stands for Home Health Aide
Here CNA HHA can do Hospice work our duties are expanded more than just a straight CNA. A regular NA (nurses asst.) is just an off the street hire that may or may not have any training (lol or think they do) I had one tell me once you couldnt aspirate on water Go with the Co. that has CNA/HHA's We are also required to take CPR/First aid classes. Regular TB tests are mandatory for us. ********************************************** Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. |
