The Quality Care through Quality Jobs logo is displayed by a network of organizations that share a core belief: That long-term care consumers receive the quality care they deserve when the workers who provide them service and support are offered quality jobs.
High quality jobs provide fair compensation, opportunities for professional growth and adequate support. These criteria are spelled out in the Nine Essential Elements of a Quality Job.
Each of the Quality Care through Quality jobs organizations commit to implementing the quality jobs to the greatest degree possible within the current constraints of long-term care public policy. At the same time, these organizations commit to improving public policy - in partnership with consumers, providers, and direct-care workers - to ensure that all direct-care workers have access to quality caregiving jobs.
