The primary difference between a PCA (Personal Care Aide) and a HHA (Home Health Aide) is the level of training. Although both jobs involve personal care, the HHA receives specialized training and can attend to more complex diet regimes, handle simple dressing changes and take basic vital signs. A PCA would be utilized for tasks such as bathing, shopping, home making and running errands. The choice of utilizing one versus the other depends on the level of the patient's medical needs and, in some cases, is mandated by the client's insurance.

Employment Fact:

There were 1,018,000 people employed in this occupation in 2010 (US). Most worked for home health care agencies. A very small number of home health aides were self employed.

A home health aide cares for people who have disabilities, chronic illnesses, cognitive impairments or age-related problems. He or she provides basic services that include administering medications, changing bandages and checking vital signs like temperature, pulse rate and respiration rate. Although a home health aide works independently, he or she is supervised by a medical professional, usually a registered nurse.

Do not confuse home health aides with home care aides who do not provide medical services of any type.

Fun Fact:

In 1980, the average price for a typical hospital room in the U.S. was $127 per day. Adjusting for inflation, this amounts to $349 in 2011 dollars
