A Registered Nurse is assigned to the case and will complete a comprehensive pediatric assessment and home evaluation.  This will generate specific treatment goals for that child for approval by the child's primary care physician.

In most cases a Home Health Aide (HHA) is assigned to the child for a specific number of hours per week.  The HHA will assist the child in organizing homework, completing household chores, tending to personal hygiene and encouraging adequate nutrition and hydration.  They also will accompany the child into the community so they may take advantage of any appropriate social and recreational opportunities.  This would include such things as: the YMCA, Boys or Girls Clubs, YES and other school programs.

The primary purpose of the Home Health Aide's presence is:

To teach the child to get along with others.

The Registered Nurse serves as the immediate supervisor and the case manager.

What type of training do the House Health Aides receive?

Aside from Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Home Health Aide (HHA) training, Excel provides ongoing training in various topics such as supportive relationships, safe physical interventions, and behavior modification.  The Nurse in charge of each case will determine other specific training needed for the HHA assigned to the case.
