BAYADA monitors the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak daily and prioritizes the health and safety of our employees and clients. Our comprehensive Infection Prevention Program provides the highest standards of infection prevention practices as recommended by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our clinicians pre-screen for COVID-19 every day before reporting to work and are required to wear both a surgical mask and eye protection at a minimum during every visit or shift (additional personal protective equipment is provided as needed based on client scenario).
You can trust BAYADA to manage even the most complex care needs to help clients remain safe and independent at home during this global pandemic.
Looking for your spot to get your shot? The CDC has a new COVID-19 Vaccination search tool to locate approved providers near you on vaccinefinder.org.
