BAYADA Home Health Care Reviews

Current Employee – been working at BAYADA Home Health Care full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – BAYADA is the best company I have ever worked for. Everyone here is more like family and we truly look out for each other. Professionally, I have never worked anywhere that valued my contributions more. BAYADA is a place where you are consistently rewarded for your hard work. There are always goals to work toward - if you have the drive and dedication to succeed then you will.

Cons – This is not an "easy" or "cookie cutter" job. Each day is unique - new challenges arise all the time, but once you figure out how to roll with anything you will find true joy in what you do.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing great work.

Current Employee – been working at BAYADA Home Health Care full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – I've been a Client Services Manager in North Brunswick for 3 years. What instantly attracted me to this company was its' core values of Excellence, Compassion and Reliability. What has made me a dedicated employee is Bayada's dedication to these values. You will find you are always greeted with a smile and everyone works as a team to give 110%. I love working together with such a large group of people with the exact same visions I have-to help as many people as possible.

Cons – Nothing noteable to report at this time.

Advice to Senior Management – Bayada's management is supportive and very readily available. I expect that they will continue this as Bayada continues to expand.

Former Employee – worked at BAYADA Home Health Care full-time for more than a year

Pros – Coworkers are wonderful, organization has a great sense of mission/values.

Cons – Low compensation, slow career advancement, very traditional company policies (no remote work)

Advice to Senior Management – Provide superstar workers the chance to advance their careers ahead of the curve. Wake up and realize that adding flexibility to work schedules will allow for better service to clients and support for satellite offices rather than detract from it.

Current Employee – been working at BAYADA Home Health Care full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – You get to help people. You gain some nice friendships in the office. Stable work available. Steady paycheck.

Cons – Poor pay
Not enough help in the office
Service offices are terrible to work in unless you can get into the support offices
Terrible benefits
on-call responsibilities
Poor management by directors (only worried about the bottom line and their bonuses)
No room for expansion unless you are in with your division director.
Being treated like robots

Advice to Senior Management – You need to have full time on-call employees for the offices. After working 40+ hours a week people need time to unwind. Also need better benefits and better 401k matching.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at BAYADA Home Health Care full-time for more than a year

Pros – Plenty of work for those willing to bend nursing standards

Cons – It takes the approval of a non-medical supervisor to discharge a patient. As a nurse you'll have to be creative to come up with reasons why patients should continue to be homebound and not discharged.

There are clearly some differences between Bayada's view of ethics and integrity and a real world view.

There is no opportunity for advancement. There is no training. There is no team building or teamwork. Although Bayada offers "Scholarships" these are little more than tuition reimbursement for classes not yet taken. If you don't have active cases assigned to you when classes end, you won't be reimbursed. Same with insurance. If you don't have any clients assigned to you for a calendar month, you lose your insurance.

Advice to Senior Management – Visit your local offices. Don't just count the dollars. Clients and employees are hurt every day by unprofessional conduct and putting revenue ahead of needs.

Current Employee – been working at BAYADA Home Health Care full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Bayada has strong marketing efforts which results in fair number of clients

Cons – One of the most challenging aspects of work at Bayada is the tremendous turnover rate per location. I have worked at the Clearwater, FL location for three years. We have had three Branch Directors, four Clinical Managers, eleven Client Service Managers, and two Regional Managers in those three years. Two reasons for the high turnover are failure to meet goals and exceeding goals. Those who exceed goals are promoted to another location. Those who fail to meet goals are discarded.

That brings up another challenge working at Bayada, expendable employees. All Field Staff are expendable. You must be comfortable treating assets such as nurses, aides, and therapists as expendable positions. Client dissatisfaction is resolved by assigning the dissatisfaction to an individual staffer who then, because of client dissatisfaction, is not assigned to other cases. While the client may then be seen as well taken care of, it comes at the expense of some of the most caring and special people (nurses, aides, therapists)

Advice to Senior Management – Establish a team at corporate level to retain, recover, or measure client satisfaction. This means contacting clients in person or by phone to measure why clients leave and why clients stay.
