Bay Square At Yarmouth

Overview of Professional Staff and Training

At Bay Square, we have a diverse team of professionals including a certified assisted living manager, a certified dementia practitioner and trainer, an RN as our head of nursing, and a mix of licensed RNs and LPNs. Our direct floor staff consists of Personal Support Staff and Certified Residential Medication Aids. Most staff members have completed necessary trainings prior to or during their employment.
