Moorestown, New Jersey-based Bayada Home Health Care, an international nonprofit home health care provider, has announced the closure of four offices located in the Tampa Bay, Florida region.
The closures will impact 682 employees, mostly home health aides, in four locations: Brooksville, Florida, 306 employees; Brandon, Florida, 150 employees, Port Richey, Florida, 144 employees; and Clearwater, Florida, 79 employees.
According to a company statement, "Due to several external forces, we have made the difficult decision to close our locations that provide Medicaid personal care and support services in the state of Florida. This will impact four of our locations, a small percentage of our total BAYADA client base in the state. We will continue to serve clients through our Private Pay Personal Care, Medicare Certified Home Health and Private Duty Nursing Services in Florida. We remain committed to our work in Florida and will continue to grow our presence here across our various lines of business to help our clients live at home with comfort, independence and dignity."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
