Because Care Shouldn't Be a Luxury.

We create a reciprocal community-based caregiving network for the financially

underserved middle: the people who don’t qualify for subsidized services but can’t afford

private care.

Caregiving Changes Everything

Caregiving is one of the greatest expressions of love. It is also one of the greatest responsibilities a person can carry.

Caregiving can affect nearly every part of a person’s life. Family caregivers often balance work,

finances, medical appointments, household responsibilities, relationships, and their own health

while caring for someone they love.

For many families, the challenge becomes even greater when they discover they earn too much

to qualify for subsidized assistance but cannot afford ongoing private caregiving.

That is the gap The Anchored in Care Exchange was created to help fill.

The "In Between"

WHY WE EXCIST

Some families earn too much to qualify for traditional assistance, but not enough to comfortably afford private caregiving services.

They are often forced to choose between work, household expenses, their own health, and caring for someone they love.

We call this the “in between.”


The Anchored in Care Exchange was created to serve families living in this gap through a structured, reciprocal community care network that brings caregivers, trained volunteers, resources, education, and community partners together.

Our goal is not to replace home healthcare agencies, government programs, or professional care. We help fill the moments that often go unsupported.

Founder Kisha Reynolds, a thoughtful woman conveying quiet strength and purpose

Built From Lived Experience


The Anchored in Care Exchange was founded by caregiver and Certified Life and Relationship Coach Kisha Reynolds. As the primary caregiver for her mother living with vascular dementia, Kisha experienced firsthand the emotional, physical, financial, and social realities of caregiving.

Her experience inspired a community-based model designed to ensure that caregivers and families do not have to walk this journey alone.

HOW IT WORKS

How the
Care Exchange
Works

The Community Care Exchange is
designed to make finding support feel
clear, personal, and connected. Families
are guided through a simple five-step
process.

Support begins with understanding

what your family needs.

Request Support

A caregiver or family begins by submitting a Caregiver Support Request so we can learn about their situation, needs, and the type of support they are seeking.

Identify the Right Support

The family’s needs are reviewed to determine whether the Community Care Exchange is an appropriate fit and what type of volunteer support, resources, or community connections may be helpful.

Connect With Trained Volunteers

Approved families may be matched with trained Community Care Exchange volunteers who provide companionship, practical support, caregiver relief, and other services within their certified role and scope of service.

Participate in the Exchange

Reciprocity is a defining part of the model. Participating caregivers contribute six Care Exchange Hours in support of another caregiving family, subject to the program’s requirements and hardship provisions.

Stay Connected

Families remain connected to a larger support network that may include caregiver education, trusted resources, community organizations, healthcare providers, faith communities, businesses, schools, and other partners.

OUR ORGANIZATION & CORE PROGRAM

The Community Care Exchange

The Community Care Exchange is a structured, reciprocal community care network designed to support caregivers and families living in the financial “in between.”

Caregivers request support. Trained volunteers provide companionship, practical support, and caregiver relief. Families are connected with trusted resources and education, and community partners contribute expertise and services that strengthen the caregiving network.

At the heart of the model is reciprocity. Caregivers who participate in the program also

contribute Care Exchange Hours in support of another caregiving family, when they are able and in accordance with program requirements.
