How CNAs Help Keep Aging Americans in Their Homes Longer

Certified nursing assistants (CNA) provide outstanding care to patients in a variety of health care settings and are especially valuable when it comes to home health care. Ask any health care expert and they are likely to tell you that older adults do better in their own home. Ask most seniors and they will tell you that they want to stay in their homes. CNAs help make that possible. This is especially true when a senior doesn’t require skilled nursing care but rather only a little help and companionship.
