Bayada Home Health Care, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit home healthcare providers, is teaming up with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to bring home healthcare and hospice to Richmond, VA.
The partnership will be known as VCU Health at Home by Bayada and will begin accepting patients within the next six to nine months.
“With Bayada’s 45 years of expertise delivering quality care to clients in their homes and this new relationship, we can increase access to care for a significantly growing number of seniors who want and deserve to age in place with comfort and dignity,” David Baiada, CEO of Bayada Home Health Care, said. “Together with VCU Health, we will continue to transform the patient experience through compassion, excellence and reliability.”
VCU Health includes an academic medical center with a Level I trauma center and an NCI-designated cancer center. It said the partnership will allow it to extend its beyond hospital walls program farther into the community.
“Having our own home health and hospice care program is an incredibly important service for our patients and their loved ones,” Ryan Raisig, VCU associate vice president for coordinated care and continuum integration, said. “Access to high quality, in-home care for individuals recovering from an injury or illness will provide a more comprehensive patient care experience.”
Bayada provides nursing, rehabilitative, therapeutic, hospice and assistive care services in 22 states and seven countries.
