A Stronger Voice for Home Care: Your Role in Advocacy Today

At BAYADA Home Health Care, speaking up with compassion for our clients, families, caregivers isn’t just something we do—it is who we are.

If you receive care or provide services, you feel the impact of home health care every day. You see the difference it makes when support is strong, and you feel the strain when it is not. That is why you make a powerful difference by sharing your stories through Hearts for Home Care (H4HC).

Rooted in BAYADA, Ready for What’s Next

Hearts for Home Care is an advocacy movement born from BAYADA’s commitment to giving our clients and caregivers the support they deserve. Over the years and into the future, we are driving the fight for:

  • Higher reimbursement rates
  • Better caregiver wages
  • More reliable shift coverage
  • Recognition for the home care workforce

Today, Hearts for Home Care (H4HC) has a bold new look and a renewed sense of purpose. With broader appeal, clearer messaging, and easy-to-use tools, we can now mobilize families, partner providers, and fellow advocates across the home care industry, all starting on one website.

The evolved Hearts for Home Care welcomes everyone in and outside our organization to join our home health care movement. Together, we can reach farther, louder, and stronger than ever before—because the stakes for home care and the people who rely on it have never been higher.

Why Advocacy Matters Now More Than Ever

Funding pressures like recent federal Medicaid cuts are putting unprecedented strain on state budgets. Governors and legislatures will face tough decisions, and without strong advocacy, home health care could be the first service cut.

These pressures threaten the future of care for medically fragile children, aging adults, individuals with disabilities, and the workforce that supports them.

A more inclusive, recognizable Hearts for Home Care invites more voices to join our movement and reminds lawmakers that we are many, we are organized, and we are watching.

Your Role in Advocacy Today

This 50th anniversary, we celebrate you—the employees, advocates, and families whose dedication keeps home health care strong.

By sharing your stories, contacting legislators, and inviting others to join our cause, you protect the future of home care, not just for BAYADA clients, but for families and caregivers everywhere.

As the policy landscape grows more complex, we will rise to meet the challenge together. Our message to lawmakers is simple: You have the power to protect home health care services, and we will hold you accountable.

What You Can Do Next

  • Use your voice. Encourage clients and families to join our movement. Share your story with legislators. Advocate locally and at the state level.

This is our moment to lead. Let’s raise our voices and make sure that home health care stays available, respected, and fully funded for the people who need it most.

Thank you for being the heart of home care—and for helping it beat stronger than ever.
