Using data from diverse sources, we conclude that the jobs of paraprofessional home care workers who provide ongoing care for older clients would be more intrinsically rewarding and offer better conditions for high-quality care if workers had more contact with supervisors and peers, more information about clients and care plans, clearer accountability, and more authority. The home care worker's relationship with clients, which also affects quality of care, can be improved by addressing such issues as adequate compatibility, communication, boundary maintenance, balance of power, commitment, and flexibility.
