BAYADA Home Health Care believes that clients and their families deserve the highest quality home health care. They constantly strive to honor those BAYADA health care professionals who embody their mission and core values of compassion, excellence, and reliability. The Hero Program is one way they recognize BAYADA caregivers.

LOCK HAVEN — The incredible impact that home health professionals-from aides and LPNs, to clinical managers and office staff-make on the lives of the people they serve cannot be valued highly enough. Working together, they provide the essential care and assistance that those in need require, and exactly where they want it most: in the comfort of their own homes. Unfortunately, our current market is seeing more and more companies being acquired and consolidated, putting at risk work stability for employees and continuity of care for clients.

That’s why BAYADA Home Health Care Founder and Chairman Mark Baiada transitioned the company to a nonprofit in 2019, protecting our organization from sale and providing security for employees and clients alike. While this move to nonprofit is a natural step in our journey, it is unprecedented in the industry-not many company owners would give up an opportunity to sell their company for a big profit. But Mark is not just any company owner, and BAYADA is not just any company.

When Mark started BAYADA in 1975, he invested his life savings of $16,000 in a steadfast belief: people deserve a safe home life with comfort, independence, and dignity. Today, BAYADA has grown to be a leader in home health care, serving 32,000 clients weekly from 360 offices in 23 states across the US and in five countries.

After being the sole owner of BAYADA for nearly 44 years, Mark transitioned the company to a nonprofit to ensure that The BAYADA Way-BAYADA’s philosophy and the spirit and the guidance for the work we do-will live on for generations to come.

Not only does this move provide a stable and growing source of high-quality care services and career opportunities, it will focus our efforts on reinvesting in our mission and culture. We are committed to creating continuing education opportunities to help our employees grow in their careers and better serve our clients, and clinical innovation and technology advancements to allow us to serve our clients in new, more efficient ways.

BAYADA Home Health Care has also been named a top health care employer in the country recently, earning a spot on Glassdoor’s “13 Best Health Care Companies to Work For in 2019” list.

The recognition comes on the heels of BAYADA being honored for the second year in a row with a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award, which is based solely on the input of employees, who elect to provide feedback on their jobs, work environments and companies on Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites.

BAYADA hires individuals who are connected to purpose and who Love What They Do because it is their calling-and goes to great lengths to recognize, and reward that commitment, with nearly a dozen employee recognition programs providing scholarships, incentives and perks. As the first home care provider to offer nurses the opportunity to practice their skills in a clinical simulation lab, BAYADA also helps to foster employees’ individual growth with a variety of training and educational programs including nurse residency programs, specialization, and certifications. In addition to investing in employees through competitive salary and tailored career progression, the company also supports clinicians with workflow-streaming technology such as tablets, electronic documentation, and telehealth communications.

The “Best Health Care Companies to Work For in 2019” sheds a spotlight on the non-medical roles available within the company, ranging from insurance confirmation association to health care sales account manager. For all available jobs, visit BAYADA’s job site jobs.bayada.com.
