"ABC caregivers took care of my 93 yr old father from when he came out of the hospital until he passed away 8 months later. The nurse was very fast and efficient and met us at his residence when we arrived from the hospital. Many caregivers were so sweet and careful with him and were helpful to my mother as well. He would be happy to see their smiling faces. They were also very accommodating for schedule and other changes. I would highly recommend them!"

Our Story Nurse Next Door Raleigh owner, Michelle Greer is passionate about bringing the highest quality home care services to the neighborhoods of Raleigh, Garner, Clayton, Smithfield, Knightdale, Wendell and Cary. Michelle has almost a decade of experience in making lives better. Starting her healthcare career as a private duty home care aide, Michelle then went on to undertake her Nurse Aide 1 training and took on a role in the memory care unit in an assisted living facility. Michelle’s passion for home care saw her maintain her private duty clients as she progressed through her Registered Nurse program. After graduating, Michelle worked for a large multi-hospital health system but missed the deep connections and lasting impact that home care provides - she has been focused on home care ever since. Michelle’s passion for keeping people safe at home isn’t just professional - it’s personal. Michelle’s mother lived with cancer for many years. As she faced challenges towards the end of her battle, she would often talk about how she would like to spend the time she had left and how it was so important to her to stay in her own home. The experience of being a caregiver and also a daughter needing care for a loved one gave Michelle a new perspective on home care, and how life-changing it can be for families in need. It was Nurse Next Door’s values, especially the commitment to admiring people, that initially caught Michelle’s attention. It was a perfect match to her own values and so she is now committed to sharing the wealth with the local community. Michelle is dedicated to admiring our caregiving team, the clients we serve, their families, loved ones and everyone in between. Michelle is focused on building that Nurse Next Door is the go-to home care provider for clients and caregivers alike. Providing seniors and their families with the choice to age in place is a powerful thing, and a responsibility Michelle takes very seriously.

"Home Helpers was an excellent company to work with when my mother needed some companionship care during the day. Frank and his team at Home Helpers matched us with a caregiver who was ready to begin in less than a week. Our caregiver was personable and more than willing to help with tasks around the house while also engaging my mother in various activities. I’ve heard plenty of negative stories about various home health companies, so it was a relief and a happy surprise to have such a great experience with Home Helpers."

"God sometimes has surprises in store for us. Such was the case with my husband. We traveled to Indiana to attend our grandson’s wedding. He felt fine, even though he is 92. He suffered a violent UTI which left him very weak. Returning home after three weeks of care, I needed help! By chance, I contacted Helping Hands and was so happy with the choice. They are easy to work with and the caregivers could not have been better. They helped my husband with all of his needs, but also gave me a hand with lunch preparation and their presence allowed me to get a handle on some of the new responsibilities that been foisted on me. We used Helping Hands the entire month of September and I would recommend their services to anyone who can stay in their own home, but need that “extra” care."

"I gave 4 stars to Marywins home caregivers for their professionalism in caregiving. Our family are very much satisfied with the treatment and care they are providing to my mother. Their professional caregiving experience is highly commendable. First the caregivers are very punctual to the job, very responsive to their duties, and display very friendly relationship between them and our mother. Thank you staffs and management of Marywins home care."
