Banner Elk, NC - Effective January 1, 2004, Premier
Personal Care & Health Services, Inc. (PPC) will transition its
home care operations to Bayada Nurses. Jim Heaton, PPC President, will
consult with Bayada Nurses throughout the transition. PPC’s Banner Elk
location will become a Bayada Nurses satellite recruiting office, and
Bayada Nurses’s Conover office will coordinate and provide client services
to residents of Avery, Watauga, Ashe, Mitchell, Yancey, and Burke counties.
The majority of PPC’s office and field staff will remain with Bayada
Nurses.
"Bayada Nurses and PPC have similar business philosophies—to provide
quality care and to nurture long-term relationships with our employees
and clients. Our goal is to provide a seamless transition for all clients
and employees,” said Mark Baiada, President of Bayada Nurses. “The experience
and expertise of the PPC staff will be a valuable addition to the Bayada
Nurses organization—allowing us to provide top quality service to even
more clients.”
Mr. Heaton agrees with this assessment: “I was determined to find the
right organization to serve as PPC’s successor so that each and every
client and employee was taken care of. Security and the stability of
the company were two very important factors in my search. Bayada Nurses
shares my philosophy of taking care of clients with dignity and respect,
and its national presence will secure a bright future for our employees.
Transitioning PPC’s operations to Bayada Nurses truly enhances the health
care services available to High Country residents.”
PPC was established in 1999 and focused primarily on providing private
duty personal care services throughout the High Country.

home health care agency that employs more than 6,000 nurses, home health
aides, and therapists working from more than 90 offices in 15 states.
