For Clinical Teams & Hospitalists
Review how CareGoals integrates with hospital EMR systems and advance directive registries.
Too often, home care workers are left in the dark about a client's advance directives. co-op.care worker-owners ($25-28/hr W-2 + equity) receive full values training to honor the individual's dignity.
Daily Values Respect
Caregivers know what brings the client comfort — favorite routines, spiritual practices, and family visits.
Crisis Emergency Protocol
In sudden declines, caregivers immediately contact the designated proxy rather than triggering unnecessary 911 trauma.
Worker Ownership Equity
Turnover reduced from 77% industry standard to 15%, ensuring consistent, familiar faces at the bedside.
