Welcome

Coming Home Connection trains and assigns volunteers to provide personal support and in-home care to adults, children and their immediate families in the greater Santa Fe area. Our focus is on end-of life care, brain injury, long-term illness, disability, children and military veterans. The volunteers are trained in the classroom and in the field to be sensitive to physical health and end-of-life situations as well as emotional needs, and are able to provide hands-on assistance under the direction of the client or family.

We seek to serve households with limited family or financial resources in their times of need, providing relief and training for family caregivers, or care for those who have no one else. There is no charge for our in-home services or volunteer trainings. We also serve as a community network for experienced in-home caregivers who may be referred for employment. Coming Home Connection is a registered nonprofit corporation. Our operations are wholly supported by donations from individuals and foundations in New Mexico and elsewhere.

Since 2007 Coming Home Connection has trained people from all walks of life, including many high school and community college students. Weekend volunteer trainings are held on a regularly basis.

The founder and executive director of Coming Home Connection is Glenys Carl, a longtime hospice nurse and caregiver.
