health aide

In-home care worker

A health aide is a person who assists with basic medical care and daily living activities, typically for elderly, disabled, or chronically ill individuals.

Health aides help with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication reminders, usually working in homes or care facilities under the supervision of nurses or other medical professionals.

The health aide visited twice a week to help my grandmother bathe and check her blood pressure.
