Baywood Home Care

Premier Home Care Provider.
Baywood Home Care is the premier provider of private senior home care in Minnesota.  Baywood provides a degree of personalized care and service for seniors that is unmatched, from the selection of compatible caregivers (home health aides)  to extensive nurse  oversight and involvement in the day-to-day care.

Mission.
Baywood’s mission is to enable seniors to live where, and how, they want to live. Our senior home care services provide freedom—not constraint.   We provide a realistic alternative to moving to an assisted living facility or living in a nursing home. Most people can live at home indefinitely, without ever having to move!

Types of Services.
Baywood provides flexible hourly or overnight assistance, or 24-hour live-in care.

Details of Services.
Caregivers (home health aides) provide a wide range of home care services for seniors,  including medication administration, transfers, bathing and personal care, blood sugar monitoring, housekeeping,  driving and errands, companionship, and more.

Affordability.
Though individual situations vary, the cost of senior home care is generally similar to the cost of assisted living or a nursing home.  And, Long Term Care Insurance can be used to pay for home care.

R.N. Care Managers.
Top-tier, very experienced, R.N.s provide ongoing care management.

Areas Served.
Baywood serves the greater Minneapolis and St.Paul metro area, and much of south central and southwestern Minnesota.

Our Caregivers

Our home health aides are experienced in providing elder care, including providing care for those with memory loss. They all have previous home care as well as nursing home or hospital experience.  They communicate and listen well.  And they are genuinely nice people who really care.

Higher Standards
Baywood caregivers (home health aides) meet a higher standard than is typical in other organizations.  High standards for skills and knowledge eliminate all but the best candidates.

Background checks
Baywood Home Care conducts extensive checks of caregivers, including checks of previous employment references, driving records, and both Minnesota and national misdemeanor and criminal records.

Level of Care
Home health aides provide the same types of care as are provided in assisted living facilities and nursing homes.  They have the same training and capabilities as the home health aides in assisted living and the nursing assistants in nursing homes.

Match With Client
Great effort is made to match clients with compatible caregivers, with success nearly all of the time!  If a client is unhappy with a caregiver, a change is always made.

Consistent Caregivers
Baywood provides superior consistency of caregivers.  Baywood works hard to provide consistent caregivers, so clients get to know familiar people that they like.  Clients that have previously used other agencies tell us that the consistency we provide is FAR superior to that provided by other companies.

Guaranteed Staffing
Baywood has an extensive backup on-call system to ensure that clients always receive service, even if the regular home health aide is sick, has car trouble, or for some other reason cannot serve their client that day.  Whether the client lives in the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area, or in rural southern MN, the client will always receive service!
