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?
