Homecare with care, compassion and dignity for your aging parents, by registered health aides with experience caring for seniors, elderly and disabled individuals. Services include attendants, caregivers, certified nursing assistants (CNA), companions, Home Health Aides (HHA), homemakers, nurse aides & sitters. Providing homecare available in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County since 1999.  Certified Nurse's Aides (or Assistants) and Home Health Aides work as an essential part of the home health care team under the supervision of other health care professionals such as nurses and rehab therapists.  Both CNAs and HHAs are certified with similar required training that varies from state to state. CNAs and HHAs have successfully completed a training course, passed both a written and practical exam and placed on a state registry. In some states the HHA has additional training in the homecare field while in other states the CNA has broader healthcare training including but not limited to homecare.  Certified nurse's aides and home health aides are employed at both medical home health agencies and non-medical home care agencies.  CNA's and HHA's services when employed with Medicare or Medicaid home health agencies may be reimbursed when certain requirements are met.  These requirements include working under supervision of licensed professionals and a physician approved plan of care authorizing supplemental aide services to skilled care. In contrast aide services are usually not covered by Medicare and private insurance when provided through a non-medical home care agency or private hiring.  However privately paying for CNAs and HHAs for needed personal care assistance might be the best or only option when skilled care is not necessary.  CNAs and HHAs both assist patients with activities of daily living (ADLs) including personal care, ambulation, nutritional, medications, toileting, health monitoring (i.e. blood pressure) and sometimes light housekeeping.  The certified assistant must be skilled in actual procedures and also make competent observations of a patient's condition for reporting to professionals.  CNAs and HHAs are CPR certified and based on level of training again varying from state to state, may provide additional bedside care.  Such care might include wound or bedsore treatments and dressing changes, tube feedings, catheter care, ostomy changes, and diabetic monitoring under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
