Project Summary
Home healthcare training is a program that is meant for aspiring
professionals in the field of home healthcare. It is a program
which is meant to be an add-on to their qualification of the
Certified Nursing Assistant. The main goal for this exercise is
not only to necessarily intensify the skill of the healthcare
employees, but also to assist them in recognizing and reporting
problems that could affect the well-being of everyone who
needs healthcare. In the healthcare industry, the highest number
of healthcare providers who work in healthcare institutions. In

2. some occasions, it may be difficult to find home healthcare
aides, showing that there is a need to train more healthcare
professionals to join the team. This project, therefore, is meant
to increase the number of healthcare providers who work as
home health aides.
Goals and Objectives
The goals of home healthcare training include:
· Helping individuals to have an improved function and be
independent
· Supporting the best well-being level of a customer
· Help patients to avoid being hospitalized for a long-term
Home healthcare independence enables individuals to have
improved function since the services are given include
occupational, physical as well as speech-language therapy. It is
the best method to promote the optimum level of well-being of a
client, especially in situations where the patient cannot move
from home to hospital if several medical attention services are
required. This is an approach that is best for elderly people and
those who are disabled (Mostaghel, 2016). They may experience
illnesses where they are expected to seek medical services
approximately four times a week. The type of services to be
offered depends on the nature of the illness. If they should visit
a healthcare facility more often, for such people, it is best that
the healthcare professional attends to them at home due to their
physical situation. The elderly and the disabled are most of the
time not taken into close consideration in the society, and it is
the reason for having fewer home healthcare aides (Mostaghel,
2016). Increasing the number of healthcare aides puts in mind
such people in the society, giving them a sense of belonging.
Home healthcare aides are the best in situations where
physicians have referred patients to home healthcare services.
In other situations, the services are requested by the patients or
the family members of the patients (Fikar & Hirsch, 2017).
There are other factors that may result in the need for home
healthcare services. These factors have to be taken into close
consideration, to ensure that all people in society get to enjoy

3. medical services from home if they are not able to get to a
healthcare facility. One of these factors is illnesses that require
the patient, not to be moved around for instance poisoning,
connective tissue, and musculoskeletal disease, circulatory
disease, and heart disease. Another factor contributing to the
need for these services is low-income (Hsu, Hwang, Brossoie &
Roberto, 2017). Individuals who are in low-paying jobs may
choose to have home healthcare services to avoid using more
money to move around from one healthcare facility to another.
Putting this method of healthcare services provision in place is
the best way to make sure that individuals who may not reach
health care facilities as a result of different reasons are still
attended to.
The goals of home healthcare training include:
· Provision of sufficient training and health care services to
make certain that the caregivers satisfactorily attend to the
needs of patients.
· Provision of educational opportunities within the healthcare
system especially for employees who have on-going
participation in professional healthcare facilities.
Home healthcare training is meant to make sure that the
caregivers involved know when and how to attend to the
patients in an effective manner. Different health matters call for
different medical services. This training ensures that the
caregivers are well-equipped to handle the various situations
and save lives. This training program is meant to involve
healthcare professionals who have degrees or diplomas in
medicine, together with those who do not have these
certifications. For the individuals who do not have
certifications, it is a platform to start a new journey in
caregiving. However, it is an add-on for individuals who
already have certifications and are actively participating in
healthcare organizations.
Customers and Stakeholders
The main clients of this project are patients who cannot
make it seek medical services in healthcare facilities, as a result

4. of various reasons. These are the clients who require caregivers
to attend to them at home. They include the elderly, the
disabled, and patients who have been instructed by pharmacists
to seek home medical services. The major stakeholders for this
project, have been identified through their virtue of leadership
in facilities where they represent caregivers and patients or
through the experiences they have as policymakers. An
interview was undertaken before selecting them as the
stakeholders of the project. They were interviewed regarding
their priorities in addressing the needs of their clients in the
current and the future. They were also interviewed regarding
their roles and relevance in home healthcare services. After the
interview, a good number of individuals were selected,
including current and former caregivers and policymakers in
different healthcare centers and individuals advocating for
Medicare beneficiaries.
Project Deliverables
Everyone chosen to be part of the project has an important role
to play. The team members include the training officers and
supervisors. The training officers are expected to make sure that
they have a plan to finish all training topics in the scheduled
four weeks. They are also expected to ensure that they complete
all daily tasks on time to avoid wasting time. The supervisors,
on the other hand, are supposed to make sure all daily activities
are started and completed on time without fail to make sure
within the four weeks all topics are covered.

6. The project involves moving from one region to another and
training home caregivers in a few regions. In this case, the
training part of the program is expected to cover approximately
six months, to make sure the number of targeted home
caregivers is reached in each region. There are 24 weeks the
half section of the year and each training process is scheduled
to take four weeks. In this case, the total number of regions
scheduled for training is six regions. The entire project is
scheduled to take 12 months in which the first six months
before the training begins are scheduled for preparations. The
preparation as shown in the table above is divided into two parts
scheduled to take at least three months each. The first three
months of the year are scheduled for strategizing. Under this
main operation are activities which include: identifying the
main team members that will be available throughout the
project, specifying the requirements as well as the features.
Building the application prototype and procuring equipment and
designing strategy for the logistics. The second part is the
remaining three months before the training begins. These three
months are scheduled for refinement. During this time, there
will be an application of the training project coordinator and the
supervisors and finalizing the application and materials for
training. The training section begins where each of the six
regions takes up four weeks. After the training process is
completed, data collection and analysis is done to determine the
best candidates to be appointed as home caregivers. The main
resources required to make this project a success, are funds and
human resources.
Conclusion
Home healthcare training is an important project that helps in
increasing the number of home healthcare aides. Having more
healthcare professionals to provide home medical care at home

7. ensures that there is a good number for everyone who needs
medical attention given at home. Home healthcare professionals
do not necessarily need to have a college degree or a high
school diploma because as mentioned earlier, it is not only
about improving healthcare skills. In this case, they should not
have the specific skills required, but they are trained to know
when and how to give reports on medical issues concerning
everyone who needs attention.
