Home health caregivers may include nurses, home health aides, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and social workers. Besides nursing and therapy, home health care often includes personal-care services to help children who need special assistance with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, exercising, and even playing.
Pediatric home health aides may assist families with nutritious meal preparation and light housekeeping. With the assistance they provide, home health care professionals can also give family caregivers the time they need to take care of themselves.
