You're on the list. We'll be in touch when we launch in Boulder.
The Problem

Your mom doesn't need a hospital.
She needs someone who knows her name.

3M
Caregiver shortage nationwide. The people who care for our parents are disappearing.
77%
Annual caregiver turnover. Your mom gets a new face at her door every few months.
$25B
Spent every year on recruitment churn. Money that never reaches families or caregivers.
For Families

Care that feels like family.

We're building companion care around one idea: the person who shows up should be someone your family actually knows and trusts. Not a stranger from an app.

Free Care Assessment

We will start with a conversation, not a sales pitch. Understand what your family actually needs.

Neighborhood Caregivers

You will be matched with caregivers who live nearby and stay long-term. Consistency changes everything.

Physician Oversight

Every care plan will be reviewed by a licensed physician. Clinical accountability, not just companionship.

HSA/FSA Eligible

Companion care will qualify for HSA/FSA spending through physician-issued Letters of Medical Necessity. Coming soon.

For Caregivers

You deserve more than a gig.

At most agencies, caregivers are replaceable. At co-op.care, they will be owners. Real wages, real benefits, and a real stake in the company they build.

$25-28/hr W-2

Not 1099 gig work. Real employment with withholding, stability, and legal protections.

Full Benefits

Health insurance, paid time off, and workers compensation. The floor, not the ceiling.

Equity Ownership

Cooperative shares mean you vote on decisions and share in the profits. Your work builds your wealth.

Career Pathway

CNA to LPN advancement support. Grow your skills and your earning potential over time.

Interested in joining as a founding caregiver?

We're looking for 3 founding caregivers in Boulder to help build this from the ground up.

The Model

What if caregivers owned the company?

co-op.care is a worker-owned cooperative. That means the people who do the caring also run the business. It's not a new idea. It's the oldest good idea.

Workers Own Shares

Every caregiver becomes a cooperative member with real equity

Vote on Decisions

One member, one vote. Scheduling, policy, growth -- decided together

Share in Profits

Surplus goes back to caregivers, not to distant shareholders

Traditional Agency

  • $12-15/hr, often 1099
  • No benefits, no PTO
  • No voice in operations
  • Profits leave the community
  • 77% annual turnover

co-op.care

  • $25-28/hr, W-2 employment
  • Health insurance, PTO, workers comp
  • One member, one vote
  • Profits stay with caregivers
  • Target: 15% turnover
77% turnover → 15%
When people own their work, they stay. That's the thesis.
