What is the difference between a PCA and HHA?

Both are essential roles within healthcare, but what is the difference between a PCA and HHA? The main differences between PCAs and HHAs involve the amount of training and scope of care. A Home Health Aide (HHA) can provide more specialized care compared to a Personal Care Aide (PCA).

While both assist with personal care tasks, PCAs focus on helping with tasks that a person may be unable to do independently. Their responsibilities aim at improving a person’s overall quality of life. HHAs, however, can perform some clinical care duties in addition to personal care. Therefore, HHAs are required to have more training than PCAs.

HHA training is a 75-hour course with 59 hours online and 16 hours in the skills lab. The PCA training is a 40-hour course that can be completed online.

Tuition includes:

1. All educational materials for both online course work and hands-on skills lab activities
2. Hands-on experience in the lab with multiple skills stations that simulate working with actual patients
3. Job placement assistance upon completion
