Home Health Aide vs Personal Care Aide: what's the difference?
Both aides help with daily living. The difference is the level of clinical training and the medical tasks involved. Your doctor or Medicaid assessor determines which is right. We provide both, covered by Medicaid in New York.
Personal Care Aide (PCA)
Non-medical daily support

- Medication reminders (not administration)
- Light housekeeping & laundry
- Companionship
- Assistance with walking and transfers
- Accompaniment to appointments
For people with disabilities, chronic illness, or age-related needs. Most families pay $0 through Medicaid in New York.
Home Health Aide (HHA)
All PCA services + clinical care
- Monitoring vital signs (temp & blood pressure)
- Assisting with special diet regimens
- Range-of-motion exercises
- Measuring intake and urinary output
- Assistance with braces and prosthetic limbs
- Medical procedure assistance under RN supervision
For people recovering from illness, surgery, or managing complex conditions at home. Every care plan is reviewed and signed by our RN.
When a PCA is the right fit
Your mother needs help with meals, laundry, and getting dressed in the morning. She's doing fine day to day. That's exactly what a Personal Care Aide is there for.
When an HHA is the right fit
Your father came home after a stroke and needs vital signs monitoring, mobility support, and post-stroke exercises throughout the day. A Home Health Aide handles all of that, with every care plan managed by a supervising RN.
A Medicaid assessor makes that call. They evaluate mobility, cognitive abilities, fall risk, and daily living needs. That assessment sets both the type of care and the number of hours approved.
One tip: be honest about the hard days, not the good ones. The more accurate the picture you give, the more hours get approved.
