Sandy Kursban is the Owner and Founder of Family & Nursing Care as well as the Founder and Chair of the Family & Nursing Care Foundation. A pioneer in the care industry with a passion for helping and serving others, Sandy started Family & Nursing Care in 1968. With a deep respect for, and sensitivity toward, older adults, she believes strongly in providing the option of in-home support care, so older adults can have the choice to remain as independent as long as possible in their own homes.
Currently, Sandy serves as the Chair of the Family & Nursing Care Foundation, which she created in 2008 in honor of Family & Nursing Care’s 40th anniversary. A long-term dream of hers for the company, the Family & Nursing Care Foundation, which operates as a fund of the Community Foundation in Montgomery County, gives grants to several nonprofit home care companies to provide free home care to low-income older adults. Additionally, the Foundation also gives grants to Montgomery College to provide scholarships for students to earn a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certificate to care for the aging population.
Over the years, Sandy has helped shape the home care industry and revolutionized the way home care is provided in the Maryland and Washington, D.C. area. For more than 55 years, Family & Nursing Care has helped tens of thousands of families by providing access to a network of over 1,500 caregivers to help meet their needs.
Throughout her esteemed career, Sandy has given freely of her time to serve the aging population through partnering with other companies, participating on various boards and committees, and serving as a resource for others. One of her core values is to give back to the community. Through Family & Nursing Care and personally, she gives to many nonprofit organizations and sponsors community activities and projects that directly benefit the senior community.
When she is not overseeing the Foundation, Sandy enjoys spending time with her husband, children, and many grandchildren; taking nature walks and birdwatching; visiting art museums; traveling; and simply relaxing.
