What is a Care Partner ?

A care partner is a universal worker who shares in a wide range of activities including personal care, socialization, physical activity, meal planning and preparation, laundry and housekeeping. Spending time together builds relationships. Through friendships, care partners engage and nurture a life with purpose and meaning. Language matters. The words "caregiver" and "care recipient" do not acknowledge the give and take of relationship. We who identify as care workers receive as much, if not more than we give to the relationships that develop during time spent with friends and loved ones throughout our lives. Human beings do not care because we love. We love because we care.

We are charged with the honor of nurturing, sustaining and building relationships with the people of our community. Through deep knowing, strong relationships, and a philosophy that guides for decision-making power to stay within that relationship, our care partners are able to create meaningful lives within the community we serve. Wherever you call home.
