As a cooperatives, caregivers working in WHC's network of businesses are empowered owners who shape the future of homecare, ensuring fair wages, exceptional service, and a people-first commitment to compassionate care.
The Co-Op Difference
Caregivers Own the Business – Our members have a direct say in decision-making, leading to more engaged and dedicated professionals.
Better Wages, Better Care – Unlike traditional home care agencies, our caregivers earn fair, sustainable wages that reflect their hard work and dedication.
Higher Staff Retention – The industry standard caregiver turnover rate is 78%, but homecare cooperatives experience a significantly lower rate of just 32%, compared to 78% industry average.
Community-Focused – Profits stay within the cooperative, benefiting local caregivers and ensuring reinvestment in quality care services.
