Why is this survey so important? ( 1) Better Care for our Clients "We have built our union and improved our contract over the past six years because of the efforts of so many of you; at the legislature, in our communities and at the bargaining table. Our collective strength starts with each of us doing something. This bargaining survey helps us learn more about what's important to you and what you're willing to do to help achieve those goals.” Quality care for our consumer/employers has always been a priority issue. We've put in place a great training program for homecare workers and a new training program for consumer employers in partnership with the Homecare Commission and the Statewide Independent Living Centers. But access to care and the ability to afford care when there's a pay-in is an area that needs to be addressed. 1. Do you care for a consumer employer who is required to pay-in for services? Yes No Q 2. Q If "Yes", does your client restrict the number of hours of care because he/ she cannot afford the pay-in? O Yes O No 3. On a scale of 1 -10, with 1 being the most important and 10 being the least important, how important is it to you that client pay-in's be reduced?
