What is The BAYADA Way?
The BAYADA Way is our company philosophy. It expresses the values and beliefs that have been the foundation of our work since 1975.
In 2002, Mark Baiada, the founder and president of BAYADA Home Health Care, set out to formally identify and articulate the company's mission, vision and values. With the help of Dr. Al Freedman, a psychologist and parent of a BAYADA client, he solicited input from thousands of clients, family members, and employees. Over time, The BAYADA Way emerged.
We invite you to read The BAYADA Way, but perhaps the best way to understand it is in the stories of our clients, families, and caregivers. Our clients see The BAYADA Way in the high quality of care they receive, and they feel it in the respect and compassion our BAYADA caregivers show them.
