Although Bayshore's home health care history dates back to 1966, it was not until 1994 that Cottrelle purchased the company. Since that time, the Canadian home healthcare environment has changed as governments struggle with the growth in demand compared to the capacity to pay. The change in health care has impacted Bayshore as the company is now challenged to provide less care to more clients. As the patients continue to live longer, countries across the world see chronic disease management as where homecare should be. In most of the cases, the industries have evolved. In Canada it is still a big struggle. Consequently, Bayshore home health care has looked to other areas to continue to grow. Medicare business represents roughly half of the book of business of the company, and the company has worked with workers compensation boards and the federal government. Canada's federal government, however, does not deal with the Medicare system, which is controlled by the country's provinces.

Just as a decentralized business structure of home health care ensures patient satisfaction, it also gives the company a better way of handling payor contracts. While dealing with six time zones and an even greater number of payor contracts, each of Bayshore's centers are empowered and expected to keep up with the rules and regulations, typically a challenge for Canadian home health care companies. Bayshore is not an entirely decentralized health care organization. Its national service center provides most of the skilled services not available at the local level, such as financial management, information technology, and a number of clinical resources. In addition to provincial training centers, employees receive further training at the national service center. Bayshore also provides a new system in which branches and branch managers work with other locations that offer similar services, and each branch has an employee trainer. Licensed to provide service in Pasco, Pinellas, and Hillsborough counties in Tampa Bay Florida, Bayshore offers services from 1 to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All health care services are assessed and supervised by a Registered Nurse. The initial assessment and all supervisory care are provided to the clients without any additional cost.
