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.

"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!"

"At the moment, we have Right at Home Durham-Chapel Hill coming in 15 hours a week. They are helping my husband get up in the morning, get him washed, shampooed, and shaved, taking care of his incontinence, and helping him with getting the meals. For any of the soiled laundry or so forth, they put it in the washer and dryer and fold it, and they change the bed usually once a week. And then it allows me to go out and get my groceries or to go to doctor's appointments and things like that. I don't use them for my housework or stuff like that; I handle that. Pretty much what they do is all concentrated on him. The caregiver is a young woman in her late 20s. She's had experience working at nursing homes. She seemed to be well-trained. She worked in nursing homes with people with memory problems. She had an accident, so they had to send someone else. It was the same situation the caregiver has experienced in handling people with memory problems and nursing home experience. In both cases, the young ladies were very nice and very friendly. I have no complaints about them. They've been very nice people. "

"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."

"I travel out of town each week for my job. My mother is getting more forgetful and doesn't take care of herself like she used to. I hired Stay At Home about six months ago and I can tell you they are the real deal. Mom's caregiver Bridget is so thoughtful and kind. She checks in on Mom each day I'm away, to help her manage her home, prepare meals, do the shopping, laundry, drive her for errands, etc. Bridget is dependable and gives me a peace of mind I cannot put into words. So much of my guilt has been lifted since I hired Stay At Home Senior Care. I highly recommend them! "

"Heather and her staff cared for my father during his end-stage dementia/Alzheimer's disease. I cannot think of enough positive adjectives to describe my experience working with A & A. We were able to keep my Dad in his apartment with round the clock care. This was less expensive than assisted living (which is not really round the clock, since they aren't always in the same room). Dad was in good hands, and felt more comfortable in his own surroundings, and it allowed me to be his daughter again. I am so very thankful for the care A & A provided. Everyone was professional, caring, reliable, and knowledgeable. My only regret is that I did not engage them sooner."

"A Bridge to Care helped us fill in the gap with my father-in-law's care. They worked with our needs and time frame in a caring and professional way. "
