Our Story
Born from compassion. Built on connection. Committed to care.
The Accredited Home Healthcare Directory was created from something deeply personal: a lifelong belief that care should be compassionate, trustworthy, and accessible—especially during moments of stress, uncertainty, or transition.
That belief has guided Cindy Rogers (pictured here) from the beginning.
Cindy lost her mother when she was just 13. That kind of loss changes you. But it also deepened her empathy and her appreciation for the people who dedicate themselves to caring for others. She saw that same selflessness in her aunt, who was a nurse, and in her mother-in-law, who served as a caregiver. These women didn’t seek attention or praise. They just gave their time, their strength, and their hearts to the people around them.
Together with her husband Kenny, Cindy created NurseMotherCaregiver in 2014 as a tribute to these three women—and to all the quiet heroes who support their families and communities through care. It wasn’t a business venture. It was a labor of love.

In 2019, the mission expanded with the launch of the Accredited Home Healthcare Directory. It was a natural next step: to help people find trusted, accredited in-home care providers without cost or confusion. The idea was simple but powerful. When people are navigating care decisions, they deserve peace of mind. Accreditation helps provide that peace, showing that a provider meets high standards of quality, safety, and professionalism.
At every stage of this journey, connection has played a central role. Cindy met Cathy Garland, an IT marketing expert, at a professional event. Cathy volunteered her time to help bring the directory to life. Years later, a trusted friend introduced Cindy to UX designer Jay Fox, who helped redesign and restructure the site to better serve its visitors.
Cindy is a natural networker. She loves helping people find the right care, and she thrives on building relationships that make a difference. She has also been deeply influenced by the work of Dr. Jean Watson, a friend, mentor, and thought leader whose Caring Science philosophy continues to shape the values of the directory. At its heart, this work is about centering compassion, honoring caregivers, and supporting people when they need it most.
The Accredited Home Healthcare Directory remains free to use because Cindy believes that everyone should be able to find care they can trust. Whether someone is helping an aging parent, recovering from surgery, or planning ahead for long-term support, they deserve to feel safe, supported, and surrounded by the comfort of home.
While NurseMotherCaregiver and the directory may live on separate websites for now, the mission is unified. It’s about care. It’s about connection. And it’s about easing the weight of uncertainty by making trusted support easier to find.
This has always been personal.
And it always will be.
