Cooperative Care
Our Caregivers Make an Impactful Difference in Our Communities Every Day!
We are looking for caring, compassionate, reliable individuals who are patient, kind, and love helping others to join our team of dedicated Caregivers! We strive to help members of the communities we serve remain safe and supported in their own homes. From offering companionship such as playing a game, reading together, going for a drive, or a simple conversation, to assisting with Personal Care and Daily living activities such as bathing, light housekeeping, or cooking a meal, even the smallest gesture of kindness can make a difference in someone's life! Caring for those who once cared for us is one of life's greatest rewards!

Our generosity is of the heart. It means we accept that we each have our weaknesses and faults. Accepting our own weaknesses helps us accept the weaknesses and faults of others. Our generosity allows us to forgive ourselves and other members.
Openness
We remain open to examining what works well in our Care and Services and what needs improvement. We will improve only if we are open to examining ourselves and our roles in making positive change.

Each and every person deserves respect. We will not gossip or badmouth. We will not belittle or criticize. We will work to resolve differences through orderly and mature means.
Listening
Every person has the right to be heard. We will listen even when we disagree.
Responsibility
We are responsible to the users of our Services, to ourselves, and to each other. This responsibility means we can depend on each other, and we act in ways that demonstrate our understanding of this responsibility.
Equity
We are all equals. None of us is inherently more valuable than another. Our deep-seated belief in this is what lets us respect each other, even through bad times.
Determination
It is hard to stay the course sometimes, but we are determined to provide high-quality service to people who need help, and we are determined to do what it takes to make our Services the best, even if that means making ourselves uncomfortable.
