BAYADA’s 50th anniversary is more than a celebration—it’s a meaningful conversation. A chance to reflect on where we’ve been and, most importantly, to listen and learn from the people who experience The BAYADA Way in their daily lives.
That’s why our founder, Mark Baiada, is hitting the road again in 2025—this time on a nationwide Listening Tour with other senior leaders. Together, they will visit BAYADA service offices across the country to connect in person and have open, honest conversations.
From clinicians, caregivers and support teams to clients and families, BAYADA’s journey is powered by your stories and insights. We want to know: How can we interpret The BAYADA Way to make an even bigger difference in people’s lives over the next 50 years?
The Spirit of The BAYADA Way, Then and Now
Have you ever watched The Muppet Movie? It’s the story of Kermit the Frog, who bravely leaves
his peaceful swamp to chase a big dream. Along the way, he picks up fellow dreamers, each with their own talents, quirks, and aspirations. Despite a few detours, their road trip leads them to something remarkable: the power of fulfilling their dream together.
When the film premiered in 1979, Mark immediately saw the parallels. He dreamed of building a purpose-driven company to help millions live safely at home—with comfort, independence, and dignity. And much like the lovable Muppets, Team BAYADA has always thrived on heart and passion.
In 2005, inspired by Kermit’s adventurous journey, Mark and Ann Baiada set out on their own vibrant road trip, aboard a colorful bus. Visting 124 BAYADA offices nationwide, they introduced a powerful new vision: The BAYADA Way. That memorable tour brought us together around three timeless values—compassion, excellence, and reliability—that continue to lead us today.
Now, 20 years later, we’re ready for BAYADA Tour 2.0. Fueled by the same optimism and spirit of care innovation, we’re exploring an exciting question: How can we do the greatest good for the most people, not just today, but for the next 50 years and beyond?
