Will Chernets, 14, of Cherry Hill, NJ, was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy at age three, but that hasn’t stopped him from being an active rower, and a participant in the BAYADA Regatta, where he competes as part of a local adaptive rowing club.

In April, Autism Speaks kicks off World Autism Month, beginning with the United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on April 2. BAYADA employees from across the country showed their support by taking the pledge to “Light It Up Blue” to increase global understanding and acceptance of people with autism.

During Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month in March, BAYADA is committed to raising awareness and educating the community about this disorder of the developing brain that affects body movement, posture, and muscle coordination. The disorder, which affects thousands of children and adults worldwide, is caused by damage to one or more specific areas of the brain, usually occurring during fetal development; before, during, or shortly after birth; during infancy; or during early childhood.

Social workers confront some of the most challenging issues facing individuals, families, communities, and society and provide innovative solutions that help people reach their full potential. At BAYADA, we're proud of our social workers who take the time to understand clients and their families while improving their health and well-being. During March, BAYADA celebrates the nearly 700,000 professional social workers in the US—including our own medical social workers— and highlights important contributions they make to society. 

Perpetuating Our Mission

The incredible impact that home health professionals—from aides and RNs, 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.

Choose a rewarding career with endless opportunities at BAYADA.

Here for Good

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.

As leader of BAYADA’s Skilled Nursing Unit, I understand the impact that a stable and supportive work environment has on a nurse’s career—and we are proud to continue to offer that to our employees, and to our clients.

During the month of April, our nation shines a national spotlight on autism. Thousands of landmarks, buildings, homes, and communities light it up blue in recognition of people living with autism, and to promote education, awareness, and research into new treatment.
