The Home Health Aide Program is an opportunity for certified nursing assistants to expand their employability. This short program meets six hours once a week for eight weeks. Designed to meet state requirements for the Home Health Aide Certificate, the program includes a review of personal care services, nutritional needs of home care patients, and medical and social needs of clients. Graduates are eligible for a variety of jobs, including private-duty nursing, hospice work, or employment at home-health agencies.
