Perceived Contributors to Job Quality and Retention at Home Care Cooperatives
In this qualitative study of HCWs and staff at home care cooperatives, participants perceived cooperatives' relatively high levels of HCW control, community, respect, and compensation to be important contributors to HCWs' retention in the field. The participatory structure and practices of home care cooperatives in these areas may represent novel approaches for home care agencies to reduce HCW turnover and improve job quality to address critical workforce shortages.
