Bayada Nurses Opens Office in Harrisburg

Harrisburg, PA Bayada Nurses is pleased to announce the opening of a new office in Harrisburg, PA. Serving the greater Harrisburg area, the office is located at 750 East Park Drive in Harrisburg. Sheila Baublitz will serve as director.

The office opened on April 15, 2002 and is a state-licensed home health care agency. The new office will offer a wide variety of home care services, including skilled nursing, personal care, and therapy. The office can provide services as either shifts or visits, depending on the needs of the client. The office currently accepts self-pay and private insurance and anticipates being able to accept Medicare and Medicaid cases in the future. Referrals are accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Although Bayada Nurses currently has an office in Lancaster, the company realized it needed an additional location to better serve residents in the greater Harrisburg region. "This office will allow the residents of Harrisburg and the surrounding areas to experience the high level of home care services that our Heroes on the Home Front can offer," says Baublitz.

Sheila Baublitz has 10 years experience managing home care services. Most recently, she was the administrator of HomeChoice-a York-based, Medicare certified, JCAHO accredited agency that included a private duty department. Baublitz is a Registered Nurse (RN) who holds a bachelor's degree in Nursing and a master's degree in Business Administration.

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 11 states.

For more information about the Harrisburg office, please call 717-561-8800. Nurses, aides, therapists, and social workers interested in applying for home care positions are also invited to contact the office or visit Bayada's online job bank located at www.bayada.com.
