The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Wake County, NC for 2025

"Always Best Care was a God sent when my Mother broke her hip at 99 years old about 4 years ago. They provided 24 hour care at her place while we were getting our home ready for her to come and live with us. My wife and I both worked and needed a care service that we trusted to come into our house and not only provide excellent care for our loved one, but also treaded our home with respect. And Stephine's angels at Always Best Care were the answer to our prayers. Caregivers Cheryle and Mellissa provided a loving service that I believe extended my mother's life to 103, with the one on one care that you get in a comfortable home environment, rather than a group care that you get at at a nursing facility . We will always be grateful to Always Best Care. "

"We did use Senior Helpers - Cary, NC for a while before we got Mom into an assisted living. They were very thorough, even during the process when they contacted us, just making sure they found out about Mom's needs and what we were looking for so that they could find the right helper for her. The representative and the owner of the business came and visited and just really gave us a lot of assurance, that they had mom's best interest. When the actual helpers came and I'm pretty sure we had two or three different people, every person that we had was wonderful. They were so pleasant and professional. My mother just fell in love with each and every one of them. She was sad when the first girl couldn't come back because of the scheduling problem, but the second person was just as wonderful."

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.

"They have some very good helpers, always excited to see her."

"My parents are blessed to have 3 Caregivers work a rotational schedule 7 days a week providing excellent care in a very nurturing and understanding manner. They obviously are well trained in caring for dementia clients and perform their daily tasks in a very efficient manner. I am happy with their work in my parents’ home and will be as long as my parents stay in their home!"

"We have Home Instead Senior Care coming in a few days a week. My mom is pretty high-level functioning and so it is basically for transportation, errands like going to the grocery store or doctor's appointments, socialization, and some activities. The person does light activity around the household and also provide some exercises. She walks my mom right around the neighborhood. She gets her outside to walk around. The weather has been pretty good out there, and it is pretty nice to walk outside these days down there. It's companionship, basically, and it is more for cognitive issues. My mom needs a lot of verbal cuing, so that's what the lady is doing. She gives reminders with medications or putting the phone back in the cradle, lots of verbal cuing, and supervision. Right now, they are very accommodating; for example, if one of us is coming in from out of town, and we do not need their services, they're pretty flexible about that -- like not coming out when we ask them. Of course, we give them advanced notice, and they're pretty flexible on that. The nurse is very accommodating, and the scheduler is very accommodating. The aide herself is very good. They bill every two weeks."

"Home Helpers Home Care is fantastic! They searched tirelessly for the perfect companion for my 85 year old mother, until they found the perfect fit. My mother was very apprehensive a first, but now she has developed a true friendship with her helper. It's given me piece of mind when I'm away from the house to know she is in good hands. And when I need to travel, Home Helpers is incredibly flexible making sure her helper can check on her each day and ensure she has everything she needs. What a life saver! Thank you Home helpers Home Care!"
