From my knowledge there are both interchangeable terms. It would really depends on who will be working for.

E. C’s Answer

Emily,

Home health aids often work side by side with nurses. They give medicine, check temperatures and change their clothes. Personal care aides cook, run errands and do laundry. It depends on what experiences you have and what you are passionate about?

Thanks again for taking the time to answer it really helped me on making a decision. Emily
