They also monitor patients' conditions and report any changes to the supervising nurse or physician. Home health aides often work with elderly, disabled, or chronically ill patients, providing companionship and emotional support. This role requires empathy, patience, and strong communication skills. It's a growing field with opportunities for advancement through further training and certification.
