Helping you live independently at home
Read Virginia's story »
Bayada Assistive Care services provide non-medical assistance with activities of daily living for adults and seniors when a health issue has made it difficult to manage everyday tasks on their own. These services are provided primarily by home health aides on an ongoing shift (two-hour or more) basis, and are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This care is also sometimes referred to as personal care or aide services.

Activities of daily living refer to an individual's daily habits. ADLs are often used to help determine an individual's ability to function at home or another less-restricted environment of care. Examples of ADLs include bathing, dressing, eating, moving around, using the bathroom, and walking.
A HHA is a nurse aide who has been tested and proven competent in home health skills. Home Health Aides are able to work in the private home.
Bayada employees who provide care to our clients are referred to as Bayada caregivers, care professionals, or health care professionals. To distinguish from family caregivers, we include Bayada in front of the word caregiver when referring to our employees who are providing care to a client.
