The people behind your care
The Endurance Home Care team
Endurance Home Care is led by its three co-founders, brothers Chris and Tom Weldon and home care executive Andrew Schwartz, who launched the Stamford agency after the brothers cared for their grandmother with dementia.
Who leads Endurance Home Care
Three people own this company and there is no layer between them and the households they serve. Chris and Tom Weldon are brothers who helped care for their own grandmother when she was living with dementia. Andrew Schwartz, an experienced home care executive, is our CEO. Together they opened the Stamford office in 2024.
Chris Weldon
Co-founder
He has run and built four companies, across a hedge fund, retailers, beverage companies and manufactured products, after twenty years in investment banking, private equity and public markets.
He studied at Columbia Business School and NYU Stern, and retired from finance at thirty-seven to build this instead.
He and his brother Tom started Endurance after caring for their grandmother, who had dementia.
McKnight's Home Care sat down with him in June 2026 for its Peer to Peer series, on how the agency has grown since it opened. That same month he published an opinion piece in the New Haven Register on America's invisible elder care crisis.
Tom Weldon
Co-founder
He and Chris started Endurance after caring for their grandmother, who had dementia.
He co-built Stamina Capital, the brothers' hedge fund, and the two of them worked together across public markets and investment banking. He went to NYU.
Families who come in for a consultation tend to describe the meeting afterward instead of the pitch, because the person across the table owns the company.
Andrew Schwartz
Co-founder and CEO
Chris's old roommate from NYU. They met studying abroad in Madrid and have been close friends for decades.
He worked in investment banking and private equity, then ran a similar business in the mid-Atlantic with 5,000 caregivers across 50 offices, and was head of business development at Elara Caring, a skilled agency in the Northeast.
He lives with his family in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, where our second office now serves families.

How it all began is in our story.
Who looks after your family
Before a caregiver is ever scheduled, a nurse care manager visits the home. That happens for every new client. The visit is about the ordinary shape of a day: when it starts, which stairs have become hard, what the kitchen looks like at four in the afternoon, and what kind of person would fit inside that house.
The nurse who came to assess my mom made both my mom and our family feel comfortable and heard.
Once care starts, you’re not managing it alone. These are the people you’ll get to know, and what each one does for your household.
- A registered nurse
- Visits at home before care begins, gets to know your parent and the household, and writes the care plan with your family. The plan is reviewed as needs change.
- Your Care Manager
- Looks after the plan and keeps your family updated, whether you live around the corner or in another state.
- Your Care Coordinator
- Looks after the schedule and the caregiver match. If a caregiver isn't the right fit, tell us and we'll find someone else.
- Your caregivers
- Chosen for your parent's routines and personality and introduced before the first visit. Every caregiver passes background and reference checks and trains with us every month.
You will be talking to an owner
There’s no account executive standing between you and the owners. When a long term care policy needs reading line by line, or a care plan needs to change on short notice, that conversation happens with an executive of the company, not a layer beneath one.
When I met with Tom and Chris, we discussed our LTC policy and my stress level was very much reduced.
See the kinds of help we arrange, from a few hours a week to live-in care, on home care in Stamford and across our area.
Three names on one door, a phone line a person answers, and an owner on the other end of the conversation who decides anything.
