The meeting will focus on the proposed organization of the Midwest Compassion Homecare Cooperative. This group of caregivers has been working with NCDC through exploring and creating worker-owned homecare businesses.
Through the exploratory phase, the group determined that central Nebraska faces the same crisis in eldercare that is being experienced all over the county. Nebraska-based assisted living and skilled nursing facilities are closing at an alarming rate, leaving many wondering where to turn for care. Additionally, Nebraska caregivers, both in-home care and facility care, are underpaid and undervalued.
