Reading about home health aide vs caregiver helped me understand the nuances more clearly. I found this link and it explained that a caregiver often focuses on emotional support and everyday tasks, while a home health aide has more medical or clinical responsibilities. This distinction made me rethink how my aunt’s care could be organized. By identifying who should handle which duties, we could ensure she gets consistent care without overwhelming anyone. Applying this knowledge has reduced stress and improved the quality of attention she receives daily.
