At BAYADA, we believe recognition is more than a “nice to have.” It is essential to helping nurses feel valued, supported, and inspired to stay.

In a recent Healthcare Business Today article, BAYADA Practice President of Skilled Nursing, Cris Toscano, shares how personal connection, meaningful recognition, and ongoing support are making a measurable difference in nurse retention and satisfaction. From peer-to-peer shout-outs to our Nurse Residency Program and career growth opportunities, we are building a culture where nurses feel seen, connected, and empowered to thrive.

“When I tell you it was bad, it was bad. After that, I had enough. I said, ‘Let’s try BAYADA.’ We called Miss Angie, and she came out and did an assessment. I’m telling you, the difference is night and day.” – Greg, BAYADA Client

At BAYADA, we’re dedicated to making sure clients like Greg receive the dependable, high-quality care they need. That way, they can focus on what matters most—healing at home, in the place they love.

“In my whole career, I have always felt like there's no one right way of doing things. People are not cookie cutters. I have so many tools in my toolbox that I can use to figure out different approaches. Sometimes it’s not the big goals—it’s the tiny ones that start to rebuild hope.” - Erin Ward, BAYADA Speech Therapist

Erin has a passion for helping her clients reach their goals. We’re grateful for speech therapists like her who adapt their approach to meet each client’s unique needs.

BAYADA client Jaxon and his brother Liam share a special bond. Recently, Liam visited our Mount Laurel, NJ office to see how we train caregivers to provide inclusive care, all as part of earning his Disability Awareness merit badge as a Boy Scout.

Liam gained firsthand experience and learned creative ways to help make life more accessible for Jaxon, like designing a wheelchair-accessible sprinkler system.

We’re proud of Liam for showing how acts of love and kindness can help create a welcoming and supportive environment for people with disabilities in our communities. ❤️

“I chose the Advance to LPN program because it offered a great support system, which I especially needed throughout nursing school. The support and coaching I received were amazing. The team checked in monthly, and whenever I had questions, I always got an immediate response. I’ve been worry-free about the loans I took out for school and was able to focus fully on my career. Working alongside BAYADA and participating in the LPN program has been a great experience.” – Anyely, BAYADA Nurse
