In the State of Florida and elsewhere, in-home care can be provided by either a home health aide or a certified nursing assistant. Both home health aides and certified nursing assistants can help with personal care tasks such as dressing, toileting, feeding and bathing.

Home aides can also assist with other activities of daily living such as grocery shopping, laundry and companionship. Nursing assistants generally do not support their patients in these ways. Nursing assistants provide a slightly higher level of medical care, such as monitoring vital signs and oxygen levels, administering physician-prescribed medications and changing bandages.

A homecare agency or licensed nurse registry can work with both HHAs and CNAs. CareGivers of America can refer a home caregiver whose skills and training matches your loved one's specific needs, and can even work with you as those needs change over time.

The founding and guiding principle of CareGivers of America is that nobody should have to sacrifice safety or dignity to remain comfortably in their homes. Caring for seniors with dignity and compassion is all we do.
