Consumer Tips on Certified Homemaker Home Health Aides - C.H.H.A

Personal or assistant services are provided by certified homemaker-home health aides (C.H.H.A.s). A New Jersey Registered Professional Nurse must supervise the C.H.H.A. and your program of care. The C.H.H.A. assists the nurse by providing personal care services such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation and feeding.

Generally, housekeeping services such as shopping, cooking and laundering for the family are provided by a housekeeper, companion or a domestic service rather than a C.H.H.A.

Before purchasing services, talk with your nurse, doctor or hospital discharge planner to be sure you understand exactly what type of services you require.
