Cooperative Care….
workers with values caring for you in
your home
Caregivers of Cooperative Care own the company. They each have a stake in
living the mission of the cooperative. It means better, kinder, and higher
quality care for users of our services. We believe in the importance of
people staying in their homes throughout their lifetimes. That’s why we
promise you this.
Respect We will honor
you as a person and fellow human being. We will respect who you are and
where you are in your life. We will keep private matters private. We
will listen to you.
Compassion We try to
remain always humble, knowing that our weaknesses and failings allow us to
be accepting and kind to others who need assistance. We will not
judge anyone and we will be gentle in our interactions with you, both
physically and verbally.
Dependability In order
to feel safe and secure, you have to depend on people to be on time and
there when you need them. We know that. We will do our best to
always be there for you and do the job we promised we’d do.
Honesty You can trust
us. We will not steal from you or lie to you. We will not be
defensive or do things behind your back. We know how important honesty is
to all of us.
Patience We will take
the time it takes to help you. Because we respect you, we will be
patient with you. We won’t push you or get angry with you. Patience helps
us both to be kind to each other.
Thoroughness A job is
only finished when it is done well. People are only cared for well
when the work is done thoroughly. We are there to do the work of caring
for you and supporting you. That means we focus on our job and do it
well.
Initiative If we know we
are to do a job, we will do it without being told. We won’t wait for you or
someone else to remind us. If it needs to be done, we will do it.
And if we see something that is a concern, we won’t hide it away or ignore
it. We will take the initiative to try to fix it.
