Caregivers & care workers
People offering qualified care and related support who want to build relationships, continue learning and contribute to a family-centered community.
Care professionals
Care begins with people.
Membership begins with purpose.
A pathway for caregivers, nurses and care homes who want to serve families through lasting community relationships.
Who the pathway is for
Different skills.
A shared responsibility.
Nurses & care professionals
Licensed professionals seeking independent representation, appropriate educational participation and connections grounded in their scope of practice.
Care homes & providers
Adult family homes, group homes and other care providers willing to open their practices to review and maintain clear, respectful service standards.
Interested in becoming a caregiver?
You can begin before you are ready for professional representation. The proposed development pathway offers guidance, peer support and connections to appropriate training, credentials and work arrangements. Learners become eligible for representation only after meeting the requirements for the services they offer.
Ask about the caregiver pathwayAlongside families
One community.
Room for different needs.
Family support and professional development each have their own space. Thoughtfully planned gatherings bring people together.
Family support groups
A place for family caregivers to speak freely, learn and receive encouragement. Stewards preserve private family conversations and coordinate any professional attendance.
Professional orientation & learning
Separate preparation and peer conversations help members understand expectations, develop their practice and contribute appropriately.
Shared social time
Optional social and learning events give families and approved members a relaxed way to meet. Families decide whether to exchange details or explore services.
Regional reach. Local relationships.
A wider network.
A familiar meeting place.
Professional representation is designed to extend across the regional network, rather than belong to a single church. A family may discover a suitable member elsewhere in the region and meet them through its own local community.
A known steward helps coordinate connections and follow-up. Family support continues when care needs change, including after a loved one moves into a care home.
Membership carries responsibility.
- Keep credentials and profile information current.
- Explain services, limitations and terms clearly.
- Ask permission before contact or follow-up.
- Respect confidentiality and each family’s choices.
- Participate in review and respond to concerns.
Violations may lead to restrictions, suspension or loss of membership and meeting privileges across the network.
A few things to know
Clear expectations.
Stronger relationships.
What does approved membership include?
The planned program includes an approved profile, professional peer learning, coordinated introductions and eligibility for appropriate community activities. Participation depends on good standing and local capacity. Membership does not guarantee clients, placements or invitations to every gathering.
Can I attend a family meeting to introduce my services?
Professional representatives complete review and separate orientation first. A steward then coordinates appropriate participation. Support groups are not sales settings: no pressure, unsolicited follow-up or access to family contact lists.
Do families need to join the professional program?
No. Family support groups, education and network connection remain free, with no purchase or donation required. Separately arranged professional care has its own service agreement; families decide whether to pursue it.
Does network approval replace a professional credential?
No. Members must hold the qualifications and authorizations required for their work. Network review records what has been checked and supports informed choices; it cannot guarantee safety or suitability for every family.
