Abstract

This paper describes a unique home health aide program developed by the Visiting Nurse Association of Cleveland. The intent of the program was to promote retention of home health aides, increase home health aide self‐esteem, improve the quality of care to patients, and increase support to caregivers. The history of service provided by the home health aides program and the educational implications of a home health aide program for older persons are described. These educational implications include the nature of the curriculum, the nature of the home health aide as learner, and the nature of instruction for home health aides caring for the older population.
