Home Health Aides
Sunshine Home Care’s Certified Home Health Aides/Home Health Aides (CHHA/HHAs) and Personal Care Aides (PCAs) provide patients with a variety of non-medical services such as personal care, preparing meals, light housekeeping, and medication reminders. In addition, HHAs/PCAs provide companion services including shopping and escorting to appointments. For 24-hour home care, we also have live-in caregivers who will provide you with round the clock comfort, allowing you to enjoy your day-to-day activities.
HHAs and PCAs work flexible schedules based on the patient’s needs providing post-operative, palliative and other specialized care to disabled and individuals recently released home from a hospital or rehabilitation/sub-acute stay. The aides follow an individualized plan of care, which is created by a registered nurse who conducted an assessment before the start of in-home services. The care plan’s goals are comprehensive and address medical, psychological and emotional needs.
