Licensed Home Health Aides for Hire in Palm Beach County
Home Health Aides are licensed caregivers who are trained to care for the disabled and the elderly. If you live in Palm Beach Gardens and would like to hire a home health aide, be sure to ask the aide to show you their county badge. In Palm Beach County, Home Health Aides have to carry a county badge while working. The purpose of the badge is designed to promote safety for the elderly. The badge is an extra layer of protection where the home health aides have to register with Palm Beach County and submit a photo ID whether the aide works for a home care agency or works privately. Other home care personnel such as a registered nurse, certified nursing assistant, or licensed practical nurse are not required to obtain a badge.
