Who they are
Care Options for Kids (COFK) is a pediatric home health organization headquartered in Denver, Colorado, providing pediatric home care, pediatric therapy, school-based services, and adult home care.
More about Care Options for Kids
The organization distinguishes itself by offering nurses a care model built on focused, one-on-one attention in patients' homes rather than the high-volume, multi-patient environment typical of facility-based nursing. Nurses care for pediatric patients with high acuity needs while building long-term relationships with children and their families. The organization operates across multiple states, with employee reviews referencing locations in New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, and others. COFK uses a cultural framework called 'The COFK Compass' to align daily decisions, ensure consistency across teams, and unite staff around a shared purpose of exceptional, compassionate, forward-thinking care. The organization actively recruits occupational therapists and nurses, advertising sign-on bonuses of up to $6,000 for select positions. For nurses seeking autonomy, continuity of care, and a calmer clinical environment, COFK positions itself as an intentionally different alternative to traditional bedside nursing.
Care Options for Kids is guided by 'The COFK Compass,' a cultural framework representing direction (aligning daily decisions with mission and values), consistency (guiding all staff by the same principles), and connection (uniting teams toward a common purpose of exceptional, compassionate, forward-thinking care). The organization emphasizes personal appreciation, an inclusive work environment, and a clear sense of purpose as core cultural pillars.
