It initially won this prestigious designation in 2006 and has met rigorous standards to requalify for it in the last two years. “We’re honoured that Bayshore is viewed on a level that’s comparable to the very best companies across the country,” says Stuart Cottrelle, President of Bayshore Home Health. “To win this award for three years in a row shows that our company is growing by providing great service to our clients, and that our people are demonstrating the highest levels of innovation, drive and leadership. This award really goes to all of our employees, as they are what makes us a leader in our field.” Bayshore’s success and recognition as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies rests on four key business principles: a culture of commitment; a diversified business model; a strong national presence; and ensuring its branches are part of the communities they serve.

This type of culture enables our people to realize how much of a difference they truly can make, and leads to high levels workplace satisfaction and commitment.” About Bayshore Home HealthBayshore Home Health has been enhancing the quality of life, dignity and independence of Canadians in their homes since 1966.
