# Three Domains of Outcomes in Equal Care

Because we believe **the way** care is delivered is as important as its concrete results, our Theory of Change is **process-outcome focused:** Success is measured by people’s experiences—feeling empowered, trusting one another, and building belonging—rather than only by completed tasks.&#x20;

Other key features of our ToC outcomes include :

* **Relational well-being**: Individual health is inseparable from the quality of relationships between care receivers, workers, families, friends and volunteers. The co-op seeks environments where everyone feels secure, supported, and free to grow.
* **Co-production of care**: Care is designed and delivered jointly by all members of the co-op. Evaluation asks: how well do people collaborate, speak up, and share responsibility?
* **Power as a health determinant**: Power shapes life circumstances—housing, work, stress levels—and thus health inequities. The co-op views redistributing power to both caregivers and receivers as essential to “good care.”
* **Structures for empowerment**: This redistribution happens through sociocratic (inclusive) governance, multi-stakeholder ownership, and co-production practices.
* **Evaluation metrics** include whether people feel able to voice opinions, perceive power dynamics as fair, and experience growing trust and autonomy across the co-op.

To make sense of these interconnected goals, we have grouped our  outcomes into three overarching domains:

* **Growth**
* **Well-being, Relationships & Belonging**
* **Systems Maintenance & Co-production**

Each of these domains reflects a distinct facet of the overall social climate of our Coop. See the interactive map below for outcomes grouped under these domains.&#x20;
