St louis Complex Care Aide Program
Complex Care Aide Program For Pediatric Nursing Patients
Complex Care Aide Program in the St. Louis Metro Area
Cooperative Home Care has been an advocate for children with complex medical needs since becoming a Private Duty Pediatric Nursing provider in 2019.
Our President, Robin Gladwill, has been a personal and professional advocate for over 20 years. Robin is a proud Pediatric Task Force member who actively addresses nursing shortages. She specializes in identifying opportunities that are easy for families to enter and navigate, to maximize authorized services and minimize caregiver burnout.
Cooperative is always seeking new ways to SERVE ONE MORE. The Complex Care Assistant (“CCA”) program is particularly exciting, because it offers pediatric patients and their families more service options.

What Makes the Complex Care Aide Program in St. Louis, MO Different?
The CCA program assists children with certain complex medical needs and their families by expanding available care options.
Families can supplement current nurse care hours with Complex Care Assistant care hours. The CCA can be the child’s legal guardian or family member, or Cooperative can provide non-family CCAs.
All CCAs must complete a specific, comprehensive training program to become certified; they are also supervised every 30-60 days by an RN to ensure their training is sufficient and that the child’s medical needs are met.
Legal guardians, family members, and non-family CCAs are reimbursed by Mo Healthnet for services in 15-minute units that are authorized by the Bureau of Special Health Care Needs.
The CCA Program empowers family members who are caregivers of their child to earn wages when they cannot work outside the home! It is also an opportunity for respite when families choose non-family caregivers through Cooperative Home Care.
Effective July 2026, Cooperative Home Care is actively enrolling potential patients in our CCA program. Call our Intake Nurse at 314-772-8585 to pre-enroll. We will keep you connected as the Complex Care Assistant program emerges!

Our caregiver Kayla B. is wonderful…we have had other caregivers and no one can even come close in comparison to Kayla. We absolutely love her! She is a very hard worker, very friendly and concerned about my mother’s well-being. I just don’t know what we would do without her.
