CAREGIVING IS...


AN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS US ALL. A CAREER THAT DESERVES TO BE UPLIFTED.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVING AND EXISTING. A LIIFTIME OF COMPANIONSHIP.
SOMETHING WE'LL ALL NEED SOMEDAY.



The CIP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports in-home caregivers and those in
need of care throughout the UP. From caregiver training classes to one-on-one
support, we’re working to improve caregiving for everyone.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

Who we’re for


HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?




BECOME A CAREGIVER

I want to learn more about becoming a n in-home caregiver as a career, a
part-time job or an informal arrangement for a loved one.

LEARN ABOUT CAREGIVING


GET HELP

I need help finding a trusted caregiver and navigating the in-home care industry
in Marquette County/
the Upper peninsula

GET HELP FINDING CARE


GET INVOLVED

I would like to donate financial resources, volunteer my time/expertise, or
contribute to the work of the CIP in another way.

BE PART OF THE SOLUTION



WE ENVISION A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE WHO NEEDS CARE CAN FIND A TRUSTED CAREGIVER
AND WHERE EVERY CAREGIVER IS WELL TRAINED, CELEBRATED, AND RESPECTED.

Our why


BECAUSE THE CAREGIVING INDUSTRY IS BROKEN, AND WE DESERVE BETTER.



The CIP exists for one reason: to do everything we can to raise the standard and
quality of in-home caregiving in Marquette County—with plans of reaching the
entire United States!

Caregiving is a multi-billion-dollar industry, but it’s one that so often fails
the caregiver and the cared for. Too few people are choosing this career path,
and we’re now facing a national shortage of caregivers. This affects the UP of
Michigan especially, where we have more elderly people living at home per capita
than anywhere else in the country.

When you or your loved ones need care, don’t you want a system that works?
Please join us in fixing a broken system!

We stand against an industry that:


CARES MORE ABOUT MAXIMIZING PROFITS THAN TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE 


SENDS UNTRAINED CONTRACTORS TO CARE FOR YOUR LOVED ONES 


LEAVES CAREGIVERS WITHOUT A DECENT WAGE OR GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

UNDERSTAND THE NEED



What we do


WE CARE FOR THE CAREGIVERS AND THE CARED FOR.

The CIP has a deep connection to caregiving that can only come from decades of
lived experience. We know what it’s like to be at your wit’s end searching for a
caregiver you can actually trust. And we’ve seen firsthand how poorly many
caregivers are treated by their employers.

We say, “Enough is enough.” It’s time to fix the broken system!

We advocate for both sides of the caregiving equation across the Upper
Peninsula:

 * We create a better pathway for in-home caregiving as a career with
   certification and growth opportunities.
 * We help those who need caregivers understand the system and get connected
   with ethical, well-vetted agencies.

For both caregivers and the cared for, we also offer expert resources to guide
you and help you advocate for yourself.

Our Pillars


WE SUPPORT BETTER CAREGIVING ACROSS THE UP.
ONE PERSON AT A TIME.




1 INFORM



Educate the public and raise awareness of the national shortage of caregivers
and the effect on us all.


2 TRAIN



Establish a higher standard of training and certification for entry-level
in-home caregivers.


3 INCENTIVIZE



Provide scholarships and grants to encourage more people to become caregivers.

Our Story


MEET OUR INSPIRATION, DOROTHY!



The CIP was founded by Eric Paad, who continues to serve as the CIP President
and Executive Director. Eric’s daughter Dorothy is a spokeswoman for the CIP and
is an inspiration for us, our volunteers, and our supporters.

As someone who has a disability and requires in-home care, Dorothy understands
the difference that quality caregivers make, helping their clients live rather
than just exist. She is passionate in her desire to advocate for people with
special needs—and their caregivers.

Get to know Dorothy and the rest of the CIP team.




WHAT IS CAREGIVING?


CAREGIVING IS NEVER ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL.

There are hundreds of ways to give care, and every situation is unique.

Whether you need help finding a trusted caregiver or would like to pursue
caregiving as a potential career path, the CIP is here to help you understand
the caregiving landscape, dispel common myths, and get the critical information
you need.





I realize how close you get in such a short amount of time being a caregiver
because it's very personal. These people are some of the most incredible people
I've ever had a chance to work with.
Rachel Mitchell,In-Home Caregiver & Nursing Student

Throughout this experience, there were many unexpected and lasting benefits.
Things I have learned that I can utilize the rest of my life in social and work
atmospheres.
Kara Vernon,In-Home Caregiver & NMU Student

Caregiving helped me forma. wonderful reataionship with [Drew] and to see how
important that is in the medical world. Because a lot of times, that's what
people need: A friendly face—someone to listen to them and to talk to and to
laugh.
Haley Pline,In-Home Caregiver & Nursing Student
