A different kind of company

Cooperative Home Care Associates is a worker-owned company, and the only B-Corp certified home care company in New York. That is why our staff are so deeply committed to the highest level of quality and service. We see that every one of our client relationships is also an investment in our business.

That’s the heartbeat of cooperative care.
