CAREGIVING
"REACHING FROM THE HEART"
ABOUT US
Founded in 2017, in Houston County, Georgia, the National Caregivers Network, NCN, and its subsidiary, Caregiver Concierge Services (DBA), is a virtual platform for Houston County and Middle Georgia Family Caregivers. We are a business and industry alliance of concierge services, products and resources that will support the daily and lifestyle needs of Houston County and Middle Georgia Family Caregivers. As the epitome of virtual shopping, NCN improves the end-of-life experience and other well deserved features of both, comfort and peace during that time for residents with enormous need and extreme limitations. NCN is posturing as a communal business collaborative via membership alliances/subscriptions. NCN is a communal collaborative. Upon entry, NCN travels throughout the Family Caregivers end-of-life journey, with the loved one through door-to-door delivery services.
A Caring Welcome from the Founder & CEO
This is a Welcome that I have been excited to write for almost two years, because it is a Special Welcome to You and the formal launch of the National Caregivers Network (NCN Georgia). What I love about this business is that it will become a part of our growing population, culture and our economy. Online shopping is the new lifestyle, a lifestyle most befitting as an everyday convenience for our aging community and the family members who care for them. Together, and with the “endorsement” of businesses, Churches, organizations, legacy members of the community, and community leaders, we commit to opening new doors of convenience to an increasing population of residents: the Aging, Elderly, Disabled, Veteran, Chronically Ill and End-Of-Life Loved One. Every day, we all see the aging process in our communities and around the world every day, and we want to help. NCN helps to fix that; together, we turn sudden lifestyle change into effective action, embracing the heart of our community.
Shirley Morman is a native of Georgia. She has resided in Houston County, Georgia for more than a decade. She retired from the University of Maryland (1974-2007). Shirley Morman is an award winning director by the University of Maryland, College Park, federal, state, local and county governments, for her academic and social research, upon partnership with community, organizations, business and industry.
In 2017, Shirley Morman experienced the meaning of Caregiving through Caregiving to her husband of 41 years. This experience is the impetus to the inception of the National Caregivers Network.
Our Vision:
To provide, in alliance with Middle Georgia and surrounding area businesses, premier concierge services (door-to-door delivery) for Family Caregivers and to be the leading concierge door-to-door delivery service (Clearinghouse/Directory for door-to-door delivery), we focus our efforts on reasonable accommodations for our growing communities in Houston Country and the Middle Georgia communities. Moreover, our foci specialize in reasonable accommodations for our growing communities and reflect our values in supporting our Houston County Georgia citizenry and the Central Georgia community.
So let’s move forward to a more unified enhanced way of living in Houston County and Middle Georgia!
Caringly yours,
Shirley Morman

How The National Caregivers Network Works
Family Caregivers may shop at their convenience. We provide a shift in lifestyle access for local door-to-door service and product delivery.
As a local business, industry, legacy community member, organization or church in Central Georgia, your business will engage with others who share your commitment to meeting the lifestyle needs of your customers, thus our communities’ constantly changing populations. As a member of the NCN Business Resource Network, you allow NCN to showcase your online business logo with Family Caregivers as a basis for online shopping for your services, products, resources and where possible, provide seniors and Family Caregivers discounts.
Significant Network Benefits For Family Caregivers & Seniors
Family Caregivers have an overwhelming challenge of taking care of a sick, disabled or terminally ill Loved-One.

-
A virtual network that minimizes the Caregivers’ weekly workload.
-
Quarterly newsletter/seasonal newsletter resource tips and helpful hints.
-
Relevant discussion topics for Caregivers and family members.

Resources for legal concerns.
