Their frailties ( physical, medical, cognitive, emotional ), very limited financial resources, few nearby supports to rely upon, and a lack of community programs, were jeopardizing their ability to safely age at home. Yet, for most of these elders, remaining independent, in the comfort of their own home and community, was crucial to their sense of dignity and well being. With social worker Suzannah Chandler, the aid of a Good Samaritan Home start-up grant, and Reverend Oler's vision, Search and Care was founded. Originally located at The Church of the Holy Trinity ( 1972-2001 ) and later at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church ( 2001-2003 ), Search and Care relocated to a home of its own in 2003 - the ground floor of Carnegie East House ( 1844 Second Avenue, New York City ). In Ms. Chandler's first year she was "searching and caring" for 72 vulnerable Yorkville and Carnegie Hill elderly residents. Ms. Chandler employed compassionate, comprehensive, cost-effective care that was considered the 'best practice model' then, and is the basis for how the agency operates today. She went on to build and guide Search and Care in the role of Executive Director, until her retirement in 2006. Brian C. Kravitz ( LCSW, MS. Ed ) joined Search and Care in 2006 as Executive Director. Mr. Kravitz brings to the agency experience in the field of aging, and formerly held positions at Mt. Sinai Hospital, JASA and Hudson Guild. He has been entrusted with maintaining all that the agency is renowned for, while writing a new chapter of leadership, advocacy and policy design to benefit the vulnerable elderly. Less than 15% of Search and Care's annual agency budget is funded by public contracts and discretionary grants awarded through local elected officials. Financial support comes primarily from private philanthropy: Board giving, fundraising events, individual giving, faith-based and community group support, and foundation grants.
