History

On January 17, 1975, Bayada Home Health Care was established as RN Homecare, by J. Mark Baiada in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [3] [4] In 1983, the name of the company was changed to Bayada Nurses, representing the Baiada family and staff of nursing professionals. [5] On the company's 37th anniversary, Bayada Nurses rebranded as BAYADA Home Health Care in order to better encompass the organization's services and the work performed by the staff of nursing professionals. [3] [6] [7]

In 2011, the company was awarded the HomeCare Elite Award and the Pennsylvania Homecare Association Award. [8] [9] [10]

As of 2018, Bayada Home Health Care operates more than 360 offices in 26 states, as well as India. [7] The company employs more than 28,000 nurses, home health aides, therapists, medical social workers, and other health care professionals. [7] The company ranks as #14 on the list of largest employers in Philadelphia and has been on. [11] The privately held company stated 2018 revenue of $1.3B. In 2018, Forbes magazine named Bayada a "Forbes Best Employer for New Grads 2018". [12]

Nonprofit transition

On August 17, 2017, Mark Baiada retired as CEO of Bayada and announced that his family would gift their privately-owned business to transition into a nonprofit organization by January 2019. [13] On the same date, Mark’s son David Baiada, who has worked in the company since 2002, assumed the position of CEO, and Mark Baiada became Chair of the new nonprofit’s Board of Trustees. [14] On December 31, 2018, BAYADA officially transitioned from a family-owned, for profit company to a nonprofit organization. [15]
