Cooperative Home Care Associates (CHCA) is a unique organization that provides home care services to individuals in need. Founded in 1985, it operates as a worker cooperative, meaning that the caregivers are also the owners of the business. This structure empowers the staff, allowing them to have a say in their work environment and the quality of care they provide. CHCA focuses on delivering compassionate and personalized care to clients, helping them maintain their independence at home. The cooperative model not only benefits the caregivers but also enhances the overall quality of service, creating a supportive community for both workers and clients alike.
