home (health) aid


Explanation:
osoba pomagająca w ubieraniu się, myciu, przebieraniu przy posiłkach. Można również używać pojęcia HOME HEALTH AID, z tą małą róznicą, że taka osoba jest nastawiona również na pomoc medyczną typu mierzenie ciśnienia, pobieranie temperatury itd. Alternatwnie personal and home car aid.

Po angielsku:
Home health aides help elderly, convalescent, or disabled persons live in their own homes instead of in a health care facility. Under the direction of nursing or medical staff, they provide health-related services, such as administering oral medications. (Personal and home care aides, who provide mainly housekeeping and routine personal care services, are discussed elsewhere in the Handbook.) Like nursing aides, home health aides may check patients’ pulse rate, temperature, and respiration rate; help with simple prescribed exercises; keep patients’ rooms neat; and help patients to move from bed, bathe, dress, and groom. Occasionally, they change nonsterile dressings, give massages and alcohol rubs, or assist with braces and artificial limbs. Experienced home health aides also may assist with medical equipment such as ventilators, which help patients breathe.
