Nurses Expands Services in Atlantic County Atlantic City, NJ
Bayada Nurses is pleased to announce the expansion of its services in
Atlantic County. The expansion includes the opening of a new office
in Atlantic City, which will serve the needs of the Hispanic community.
Known as the Atlantic City Espanol Office, this office will offer personal
care services to Spanish-speaking adults throughout Atlantic County.
The current Bayada Nurses office in Linwood will continuing functioning
as a full-service office-providing personal care, skilled nursing and
chore services to adult and pediatric clients throughout Atlantic County.
Scheduled to open April 1, the Atlantic City Espanol Office will be
managed by Nilsa Cruz and overseen by Marilyn Sweeney, who also serves
as the Director of Bayada Nurses's Cape May Office. Staffed by Spanish-speaking
staff, the office will provide personal care services such as assistance
with activities of daily living, homemaking, companionship, and meal
preparation. The office will accept Medicaid, private pay, and most
insurances. Referrals will be accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
"We wanted to better serve the Hispanic community in Atlantic County,"
says Sweeney. "So opening a Spanish-speaking office was the logical
choice. We are thrilled that more Atlantic County residents will be
discovering why our employees are known as Heroes on the Home Front."
Sweeney is also thrilled with Cruz's appointment as Service Director
of the new office. "Nilsa's experience is a perfect fit with what we
need for this office," says Sweeney. A resident of Absecon, Cruz previously
worked for 21st Century Health Care Consultants and Cuidado Casero Home
Health Services of New Jersey. Both of these positions provided Cruz
with hands-on experience with home health care and Medicaid regulations.
The current Bayada Nurses office in Linwood will continue offering a
full-spectrum of home care services-including skilled nursing, personal
care, chore services, homemaking and companionship-to both adult and
pediatric clients throughout Atlantic County. Managed by Maryann Prudhomme,
the office accepts Medicaid, private pay, and most insurances, and referrals
are accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. "One of our goals in 2003
is to expand our presence in the Hammonton area," says Prudhomme. "We
are doing this by actively recruiting staff in the area and letting
Hammonton residents know that we can meet their home care needs." Prudhomme
is a Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of management and clinical
experience in health care and nursing. She previously worked for organizations
such as Southern Ocean Home Health & Hospice, Health Care Advocate Services,
Holy Redeemer Multicare, and Kimberly Quality Care.
Both Bayada Nurses offices have 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 Sweeney. "We also offer rewarding opportunities
for nurses who want a change from the frantic pace of working in a facility."
