About Us
Staff Bios

Our office in East Brunswick, NJ provides personal care services and non-medical assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) for adults and seniors when a health issue has made it difficult to manage everyday tasks. Families often seek these services to support safe, independent living, or to provide companionship, assistance, and supervision for a loved one living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

Our care professionals in North Brunswick, NJ excel at what they do, and their assistance can help adults and seniors continue living independently at home--where they want to be. Our Assistive Care specialists include BAYADA Home Health Aides. Whether occasional services or live-in care is needed, we match the client's needs with the right BAYADA professional.

Self-care assistance with activities of daily living, including:

Dressing and grooming
Bathing and toileting
Walking, moving, and transferring (including safe use of wheelchairs, walkers, or lifts)
Basic exercise
Reminders about medications and appointments
Meal preparation, help with eating, and nutritious food selection

Household support services, including:

Light housekeeping, such as vacuuming, dusting, and sweeping
Washing and folding laundry
Trash removal
Shopping for groceries, picking up prescriptions, and other errands
Companionship (such as conversation, reading, and on outings)

Our personal home care is provided by specially-trained professionals usually on a regular, ongoing basis, with hourly and live-in options available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether your needs are occasional or long-term, we can match you with a compassionate, compatible home health aide (HHA). BAYADA caregivers are educated and trained to understand each client's diagnosis and to meet your individual care needs.

Our one-on-one approach to personal home care improves the lives of our clients and their families by alleviating pressure, confusion, and worry, giving you peace of mind, and helping you live life to the fullest. Every BAYADA client is supported by a care team that includes a dedicated client services manager and an expert clinical manager who trains and supervises professional caregivers, oversees safety precautions, and is available 24/7 to answer questions and provide real-time support.

BAYADA respects your wishes and takes the privilege of caring for you at home very seriously. We're committed to earning your trust with every visit.

Darlene Spagnola

Director

In 2000, Darlene graduated from Rutgers University-New Brunswick and just a year later in 2001, began her career in geriatrics. She onboarded with the UMDNJ Rutgers Comprehensive Services on Aging (COPSA) and Adult Protective Services (APS) team advocating for vulnerable seniors in the community. Her affinity for the senior population continued in 2007 when Darlene was chosen by the board of directors to strategically plan and manage Briteside Adult Day Centers in Flemington, NJ. She expanded her knowledge in geriatrics to family caregivers by completing the COPSA Alzheimer’s and dementia certification program to facilitate Alzheimer’s caregiver support groups at Hunterdon Medical Center. In 2016, Darlene took a leap from non-profit to private concierge eldercare as regional director of client services with Theia Senior Solutions leading a team of geriatric care managers for New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania before joining BAYADA Assistive Care in Middlesex, NJ as director in 2019. Darlene feels that BAYADA’s mission and values of honoring and serving the geriatric population align perfectly with her personal love of working with seniors and their families. She credits her grandmother as the reason she found comfort and wisdom at an early age with elder adults. Darlene’s favorite book is Dante’s Inferno which she discovered while studying abroad in Rome, Italy.

Charry Butler, BSN, RN

Clinical Manager

Charry started her nursing career in 2011 in the operating room at University Hospital in Newark, NJ. In 2015, she started at RWJUH New Brunswick Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Between 2012 and 2021, she also worked per diem in the community as a field nurse for both VNA and BAYADA. In 2017, Charry transitioned as a case manager for Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield. From 2019-present, she has worked with Hackensack Meridien Carrier Clinic in the Access Department as Triage Nurse Coordinator. In 2021, Charry transitioned to Bayada as a Clinical Manager in the NB office. She moved to BAYADA’s Middlesex, NJ Assistive Care office in August of 2022 where she is happy to be able to utilize her geriatric case management skills. Charry is currently attending Wilkes University working toward her Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMH-NP) Degree. Her favorite way to unwind is to watch Law & Order SVU and her dream is to play a detective on TV.

Lloyd Osunga, BSN, RN

Clinical Manager

In 2008, Lloyd started his nursing career at Newark Beth Israel Hospital where he worked in the medical surgery unit & ICU before transferring to the emergency room. In 2015, Lloyd later transferred to Penn Medicine Princeton Hospital - Emergency Department before joining BAYADA in 2018. During his time at Newark Beth & Princeton Hospital, Lloyd also worked part-time as a hospice case manager with Kindred Hospice in Piscataway. He brought his hospice case management experience to BAYADA and embodies the holistic approach when working with his clients. With this vast experience, Llyod’s motto is "no task is too big or too small to keep this engine running."

Estefania Castro

Client Services Manager

Stef graduated in 2013 from Rutgers University. She began her career in restaurant management and transitioned to a recruiting manager role with BAYADA in 2019. She joined the Middlesex, NJ Assistive Care office in 2021 and has fully embraced her current role as client services manager (CSM). Her management and customer service experience have both been great assets in Assistive Care, enabling her to work well with both clients and employees and facilitate client/employee relationships. Stef’s favorite part of the CSM position is that she gets to help seniors continue living their lives with independence in their own homes. She leads by example with the BAYADA core values of compassion, excellence, and reliability. Outside of work, Stef loves hiking, cooking, reading, and traveling to new places.

Ruth Southland

Client Services Manager

Ruth spent most of her career working with non-profit organizations. Before moving into the world of healthcare, Ruth spent a few years as a substitute teacher. She came to BAYADA as a client services manager in October 2021 from another home health company and has never looked back. She truly appreciates BAYADA’s merging of the healthcare/nonprofit worlds and the fact that, from the very top, BAYADA lives its core values. The ability to create meaningful and lasting relationships with clients and employees is what keeps Ruth coming to work every day as well as the very special opportunity to sit down with clients in their homes and earn their trust. She loves the challenges of the job and coming up with creative solutions to overcome them. The real magic is when she finds that perfect pairing where between healthcare professional and client so that client is living with dignity, feels cared for, and happy. Ruth’s colorful background includes performing with an orchestra in Soviet-era Eastern Europe, working in casinos in Las Vegas, and 6 months on a crab processing boat in the Bering Sea (the cold months!).

Onosen Ebiseme Alufohai (Seme)

Recruiting Manager

Seme has been with BAYADA for almost three years. She began as a Home Health Aide and participated in the internship program offered by the MOR office at that time. Upon successful completion of the internship program, Seme was offered an associate position within the team. In December of 2021, she joined the Middlesex, NJ Assistive Care (MAC) office as an associate recruiter. Seme was promoted to recruiting manager in April 2022 and has had the opportunity to hire many home health aides (HHAs) that embody the BAYADA values of compassion, excellence, and reliability. Seme loves what she does and the opportunities she has to meet and interact with people. The thing she loves most about her job is the fact that, since she is still an active HHA with the MOR office, she relates personally to the aides she hires. Seme has a degree in law in her home country of Nigeria, and in her spare time, she runs and manages her own skincare company – Seme Body Butter.
