JOIN THE CARE EXCHANGE
Choose Your Path. Strengthen a Caregiver. Support a Family.
The Anchored in Care Exchange was created for caregivers, older adults, volunteers, partners, donors, and community members who believe care should never be carried alone. Joining the Care Exchange means becoming part of a community centered model built on compassion, dignity, service, and shared responsibility. Whether you need support, want to volunteer, desire to partner, or feel called to give, there is a place for you here.
If you are a caregiver seeking relief, you can begin by completing the Caregiver Support Request form.
If you want to volunteer, you can apply to become part of the Care Exchange Support Corps™.
If your organization wants to collaborate, you can complete the Welcomed Partnership Inquiry form.
If you want to support the mission financially, you can donate toward volunteer training, transportation, background checks, caregiver resources, and future program expansion.
Community Companion Specialists provide companionship, conversation, caregiver relief, wellness visits, meal companionship, wellness walks, appointment accompaniment, senior center visits, grocery support, and meaningful social engagement for older adults and families throughout Philadelphia County.
Personal Care Support Specialists provide companionship as well as assistance with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility assistance, and dementia support. They do not provide skilled nursing care, administer medications, or perform medical procedures.
Comprehensive Care Support Specialists are trained to serve in both companion and personal care roles based on experience, certification, and the needs of the family.
Organizations, schools, businesses, healthcare providers, legal professionals, mental health providers, faith communities, transportation providers, and nonprofits are welcomed to explore potential partnerships that help strengthen the caregiving community.
Students pursuing careers in healthcare, psychology, social work, counseling, public health, gerontology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, or related fields may also inquire about future internship opportunities.
Every path matters, every volunteer hour matters, every donation, partnership, shared resource, and caregiver asking for help matters. The Anchored in Care Exchange may have been founded by one person, but it is built for people who understand that caregiving affects all of us eventually.
When you join, you are helping build a future where caregivers are supported, older adults remain connected, and families no longer have to navigate caregiving in silence.
