According to many home health aide training institutions, the profession is expect to continue to grow as the baby boomers age and decide to "age-in-place" by living in their homes until it is no longer feasible. In other words, baby boomers are the driving force behind the increase in demand for home health aide professionals.
"I wanted to work in the health care field since I was a little girl and we used to visit our mother in the hospital. I was going to become a nurse but then got pregnant after high school and settled in to raise a family. As soon as my children became old enough to fend for themselves, I got enrolled in a training program and it is the best move I could've made for me and my family". Miranda Kelly, Houston, TX
