Bayada Nurses Opens First Midwest Office in St. Louis

St. Louis, Missouri - Bayada Nurses-a national home health care company-is pleased to announce the opening of its first Midwest office in St. Louis. Robin McMillin is the Director, and Marty Rhodes is the Nursing Supervisor.

Established in October 2002, the St. Louis office will soon be licensed by the state of Missouri and is awaiting its Medicare certification. The office will provide a broad spectrum of home care services-including skilled nursing for adults, rehabilitation services, and personal care services. The services will be available throughout St. Louis and Jefferson counties. The office will accept private pay and most insurance cases. Referrals will be accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

"Bayada Nurses has experienced growth throughout its history, and expanding to the Midwest was the logical next step," says Robin McMillin. "This office will allow residents of St. Louis and Jefferson counties to experience the high level of home care services offered by our Heroes on the Home Front."

Bayada Nurses has job opportunities for nurses, home health aides, homemakers and companions. The benefits of working in home health care include one-on-one patient care, flexible hours, and the ability to work close to home. "We offer wonderful opportunities for mothers, homemakers, retirees, students, and other people looking for meaningful work with flexible hours," says McMillin. "We also offer rewarding opportunities for nurses who want a change from the frantic pace of working in a facility."

Robin McMillin has more than 10 years of experience in home care, specializing in marketing, management and recruitment. She has worked for Bayada Nurses for two years and previously worked as the director of Bayada's Passaic, NJ office. Marty Rhodes is a Missouri native who has more than 10 years of home care experience and extensive knowledge of Medicare and Medicaid regulations.

Founded in 1975 by J. Mark Baiada, Bayada Nurses is an independently owned home health care agency that employs more than 5,000 RNs, LPNs, home health aides, and therapists working from more than 70 offices in 13 states.
