home aide
In-house care worker
A home aide is a person who provides assistance to someone in their residence, typically helping with daily activities like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, or light housekeeping.
Home aides usually assist elderly, disabled, or recovering individuals who need support but not full medical care: Medicare covers a home aide for twenty hours a week.
The term overlaps with home health aide, though the latter often implies some medical training.
