Family & Nursing Care founder Sandy Kursban says her close relationship with her maternal grandparents inspired her lifelong dedication to helping older adults age with dignity.
“I remember when my grandfather could no longer live independently,” Kursban recalls. “There were only two options at the time: ‘convalescent homes’ or moving in with family.”
But as more and more women entered the workforce, leaving fewer at home to fill traditional caregiver roles, Kursban developed a visionary third alternative. She founded Family & Nursing Care in 1968, transforming the local elder-care industry and pioneering the aging-in-place revolution.
Now one of the oldest, largest and most highly regarded resources for in-home care services for seniors in Maryland and Washington, D.C., Family & Nursing Care has helped tens of thousands of families by providing access to experienced, compassionate Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) who help older adults with activities of daily living and companionship.
For more than 55 years, Kursban has infused her passion for growth, innovation and change into the company’s culture. While her son, Neal, is now CEO (her daughter Mindy is the company’s attorney), Kursban still runs the Family & Nursing Care Foundation she founded in 2008, awarding grants to community partners who help low-income seniors gain access to in-home care services and providing scholarships to students pursuing CNA certificates.
“My dream when I started the company was to provide older adults and their families peace of mind by offering competent, devoted home care,” Kursban says. “The Foundation now allows us to extend this care to more people than ever.”
Founded in 1968 by Sandy Kursban, Family & Nursing Care is a leading resource for home care services in the Washington Metropolitan region. Awarded its eighth consecutive National Business Research Institute Circle of Excellence Award in 2023, 98 percent of surveyed clients would recommend Family & Nursing Care to friends and family.
