Is There A Listing Of Certified Home Health Aides In Massachusetts?

[RobRoy]

Our congregation is preparing information of use to persons caring for frail elders. We are aware of Ann Bookman's wonderful book "Family Caregiver Handbook: finding Elder Care Resources in Massachusetts(MIT Workplace Center, 2007)--which I hearily recommend, but I don't think it answers my specific question.

I don't think it would be possible to list all CNAs, as that would be a violation of their privacy. But you could find listings of Home Health Agencies in your area that provide CNAs. Ask if they have done a CORI on each one and ask for references, education, etc. Also, the American Red Cross provides a training course for one to become certified. You might want to ask them if they would ask recent graduates if they would be willing to be contacted by you. If it's relief for family caregivers you're inquiring about, check with the local hospice centers; MASSHEALTH, and VNA for RESPITE CARE. And lastly, if an elder has a particular medical issue, i.e. Alzheimer's, etc. you can check with those particular agencies for advice on care. I have MS and they have provided my Personal Care Attendant with much information, helpful to both of us. I know this is an old post, but I'd be curious to see how this project of yours is progressing. Good Luck and best wishes. 79 months ago

I think the list doesn't exist, because the home health agencies don't want to make the options public. 84 months ago

I did a little searching and the best I can find is something like this Basically it's a job posting site. People searching for Home Health Aides will put up an ad, or Aides in search of a position will put up an ad. It may be a useful resource. http://www.mass-homehealth.org/associations/1892/providersearch.cfmYou might also want to check this site:http://www.ndri.com/service/massachusetts-13210-1.htmlI'm not sure either of these are exactly what you're looking for, but I hope they're still of use.
