“Knowing that I can leave having helped someone or made an impact on someone’s life, even if it’s just through education, which is what we’re mainly doing right now, makes me feel good. It means a lot to know they trust me enough to listen.” - BAYADA York Tech apprentice Gabby Dunlap

WBTV News reporter Rachel Richardson interviewed Gabby at our Rock Hill, SC, office. Thanks to a $600K grant from BAYADA, Gabby is working toward her RN at York Technical College while receiving paid, on-the-job training and providing personal care and companionship to BAYADA clients. Without this funding, Gabby shared she might not have been able to pursue this path.

BAYADA Home Health Care client Will recently had a twice-in-a-lifetime moment—returning to the mound for the second year in a row to throw out the first pitch at a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders game! ⚾️

A lifelong baseball fan, Will is especially grateful for his longtime Home Health Aide, Gerry, whose support helps him stay safe, healthy, and independent in his Hudson, PA home and community.

After a devastating accident, former Philadelphia Highway Patrol officer Andy Chan was left critically injured. His wife, Teng, never left his side, transforming their home and becoming his full-time caregiver.

But love needed reinforcements. That’s when BAYADA stepped in.

From skilled nurses to devoted home health aides, Andy’s care team didn’t just show up—they stayed. One aide even went to nursing school and returned to continue caring for him.

Today, Andy communicates with blinks and smiles. He listens. He knows. And he is surrounded by unwavering love and care.

Thank you to Andy’s incredible care team from our BAYADA Philadelphia offices. Your compassion, commitment, and excellence are the heart of "The BAYADA Way." ❤️

BAYADA client Kamile has been with us since January 2024. He recently transitioned off of his tracheostomy tube and graduated from our skilled nursing services, thanks to the dedication of his care team — including his nurse Alex and clinical manager Cheyenne, who are pictured with him.

We’re so excited and proud to celebrate this milestone with Kamile! We’re grateful to have been part of his healing journey. ❤️

As part of BAYADA’s 50th anniversary, Founder and Chairman Mark Baiada, CEO David Baiada, and members of our senior leadership team have been traveling the country for the BAYADA Way Listening Tour—reconnecting with offices, hearing stories, and reflecting on what “The BAYADA Way” means today.

This tour is about more than just visits—it's about listening, learning, and celebrating the people who live out our mission every day. From powerful conversations with caregivers and office teams to heartfelt moments with clients and families, each stop has reminded us of the purpose that drives our work.

Stay tuned as the tour continues across the country, we’re looking forward to sharing more moments from the road with you.

“Coming from South Dakota, where being openly gay felt unsafe, I got married, had children, and stayed in the closet—like many others from my generation. My journey of coming out at age 60 was long and challenging, but knowing I worked for an accepting company reassured me.” - Rich Magnuson, BAYADA Nurse

We’re honored to share Rich’s story—one of resilience, authenticity, and the power of a supportive work environment. Rich is not only a dedicated nurse, but also a source of comfort and representation for his clients and colleagues.

Thank you, Rich, for bringing your full self to the work you do every day. ❤️

“When you think of nursing, hospitals usually come to mind first, but home care has changed my perspective. I’ve seen firsthand how providing medical care in a child’s own home, their safe and comfortable space, makes all the difference. They’re more open and more themselves than they would be in a hospital setting. It’s special to see that, and it’s rewarding for the family and for me.” – Lauren Plyler, BAYADA Apprentice

We’re excited to announce our new partnership with York Technical College to launch a scholarship program supporting the next generation of nurses. Lauren is one of our apprentices from this partnership who is working to become a registered nurse through York Tech while working part-time with our Rock Hill, SC office.

Through partnerships like these and opportunities such as our Advance to LPN program, we’re actively working to help alleviate the nursing shortage in our local communities. By offering flexible and rewarding career paths in home care, we hope to empower aspiring and current nurses to build meaningful careers caring for clients where they feel most comfortable — their own homes.

BAYADA Clinical Manager Dee Rhoads is a shining example of how compassion takes many forms. As part of our Salute to Service program, she’s been hand-sewing pillows for Veteran recognition ceremonies — a thoughtful gesture to honor those who’ve sacrificed so much.

Thank you, Dee, for showing our Veterans just how much their service means with compassion, creativity, and care. ❤️

We would like to thank Senator Marty Flynn
for taking the time last week to meet with Director Mike Stacey to discuss reimbursement rate increases and the current state of Home Care. Not only has Senator Flynn listened but he has been an ally in our fight for fair wages for our Direct Care Workers. Please follow Hearts for Home Care Advocacy to see how you can also be an ally in this important cause to ultimately keep our loved ones in the comfort and safety of their own homes!

Our Caregivers DESERVE higher wages! Please share to show your support for those who take care of our loved ones!

That is sorely needed in Pennsylvania, given our rapidly aging population.

Medicare plans to cut home health by approximately $25 billion in the next ten years. If these cuts are implemented, access will be restricted, and patients will suffer. Congress: Please ! https://pqhh.org/the-issues/medicare-cuts/

Severe cuts to Medicare will have a dire impact on seniors’ access to home health...

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

‼️Please by passing the Preserving Access to Home Health Act (S. 2137/H.R. 5159)!

We would like to thank Bill Richards, Constituent Relations for Senator David Argall’s office, for taking the time to sit down with Director Mike Stacey to discuss our ongoing battle for increased reimbursement rates for our field staff. Our staff does the incredibly important and difficult job of taking care of our sick and elderly to help keep them independent and where they belong, at home. Unfortunately, the current rates do not reflect the important work they do. With the help of Senators like David Argall we hope to change this! Thank you again for your time, Senator David G. Argall and Mr. Bill Richards.
