health aides
Medical support workers
Health aides are workers who provide basic medical and personal care to patients, typically in homes, nursing facilities, or hospitals.
They assist with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and mobility, and may monitor vital signs or administer medications under supervision.
The role bridges professional nursing and personal caregiving, requiring some training but not a nursing degree.
Home health aides visited my grandmother three times a week after her surgery.
