Helping Faith Communities
Serve their Members
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ
(Galatians 6:2)
History of SCC
• Started in 2012 by a nursing professor who
observed that nursing students provide
excellent in-home care at lower costs than
home care companies.
History
• The website went live in
February 2013.
• Nursing students need to
“earn while they learn”.
• Older adults and persons with
long-term health problems
need help to “age in place”.
• If we link them together, it’s a
win-win situation!

CNAs only
• Care Seekers join on the website and search
the profiles of caregivers in their area
• Private messaging feature
• Caregivers and Care Seekers negotiate their
own arrangements
• Tools on the website
Why should my faith-community join
