About Careforce
In 2006 Careforce staff opted to become a worker Co-operative. Effective November 18, 2008 the worker cooperative owns 100% of Careforce Health Services. Many of our staff are now owners and have an active interest in carrying out tasks in an effective and professional manner. We are proud to have received the Eastern Kings Chamber of Commerce Outstanding New Business Award in 2010 and to be members in good standing of the Better Business Bureau.
Our Vision
Our worker’s co-op shall stand out in the community as a valuable example of excellence in both home health care and a place to work. We will work together to build a growing, thriving, business in which we can be proud by consistently delivering quality care to our clients.
Our Co-op Strengths
We have an established name and a good reputation, quick response, individual care, quality staff, access to a RN 24/7, good working relationship with Veterans Affairs Canada, Workers' Compensation, and individual & private insurance.
Membership allows you voice and vote in the management of Careforce. Profit sharing and dividends are paid out based on your hours worked. Owners have first opportunity at available hours.

1. Voluntary and Open Membership
2. Democratic Member Control
3. Members' Economic Participation
4. Autonomy and Independence
5. Education, Training, and Information

THE TOP 7 REASONS TO CHOOSE CAREFORCE
At Careforce, we work hard to earn your business. Here are just a few of the many reasons to choose Careforce.
1. We are person focused, not task focused. Our caregivers don't just care about getting tasks done (although they're great at that too); they care about making you feel special.
2. All of our caregivers are supervised by a Registered Nurse; you can be sure you are in good hands with Careforce's caregivers, who are also carefully screened and well trained.
3. We are responsive. We can have a caregiver who is right for you in your home within 48 hours (and often sooner).
4. No long-term contracts, ever.
5. We are local. We care about our community because we all live here, too. You can always speak with somebody local when you call Careforce
6. Our workers are also owners. Because many of our caregivers also own the company, they are more heavily invested in providing you with a perfect experience
7. We offer the most flexible shifts in the Annapolis Valley. You need care when YOU need it, not when it's convenient for your caregiver.
We’ve helped hundreds of Valley residents with our expertise, compassion and personalized care and we’d be pleased to help you.
