Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a home health aide and a personal care aide?

A home health aide works as part of a Medicare-certified, physician-directed care plan under nurse supervision. A personal care aide provides non-medical assistance independently, outside a clinical care plan.

How many hours per day does a home health aide visit?

Home health aide visits are typically a few hours per day, as specified in the physician's care plan. This is different from around-the-clock personal care services.

Is a home health aide covered by Medicare?

Yes — when aide services are part of a certified home health plan prescribed by a physician, Medicare covers them. The patient must also be receiving a skilled service such as nursing or therapy.

Can a home health aide administer medications?

Home health aides do not administer medications. That is performed by licensed nurses. Aides may remind patients about medication schedules as part of the care plan.
