The 6 Months Certificate in Home Health Aide (HHA) program at Asian International University (AIU) provides foundational education and practical training for individuals interested in assisting patients, elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and others who require support with daily activities in home and community healthcare environments.

The program introduces students to basic human anatomy and physiology, healthcare terminology, personal care, hygiene, nutrition, patient safety, communication, and professional responsibilities. Students learn how to provide appropriate assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility, positioning, feeding, and maintaining a comfortable and safe environment.

Students are also introduced to basic infection prevention practices, home safety procedures, first aid, emergency response, and methods of assisting individuals with routine healthcare needs. The program emphasizes respectful communication, empathy, dignity, privacy, confidentiality, and responsible interaction with patients and their families.

Practical training helps students develop hands-on skills required for providing personal care and household healthcare assistance.
