Nurse Next Door Celebrates 25 Years of Bringing "Happier Aging" into Homes

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks a major milestone in home care as Nurse Next Door proudly celebrates its 25th anniversary. Founded on the belief that aging should be celebrated rather than merely managed, the company has spent the last quarter-century redefining what it means to care for clients at home, shifting the focus from purely clinical needs to genuine joy, purpose, and companionship.

Over the past 25 years, Nurse Next Door's most significant achievements have lived in the homes and hearts of its clients. The company was built on a uniquely client-centric approach known as Happier Aging, which asks one deeply personal question: "What is the one thing you used to love doing that you no longer do?" By focusing on the answer, caregivers have helped countless clients rediscover forgotten passions, whether that means tending to a beloved garden, returning to a favorite hobby, or enjoying a cup of tea with a true friend.

This milestone is equally a celebration of the extraordinary people delivering that care. Over two and a half decades, Nurse Next Door has fostered thousands of meaningful, long-term careers for nurses, caregivers, and local operators. By actively nurturing professional development through our philosophy of Bold Kindness, the company has built a dedicated community of healthcare professionals empowered to turn everyday visits into lasting, life-changing relationships.

What began in 2001 as a local effort to find better care has steadily expanded into a global network. Today, Nurse Next Door operates over 400 locations across North America, Australia, and England. This remarkable international growth proves that the desire for highly personalized, empathetic home care is a universal need.

"When we look back on 25 years, our proudest moments are the individual lives we've had the privilege to touch, both the clients we care for, their families, and the teams we employ," said Cathy Thorpe, CEO of Nurse Next Door. "Clients have welcomed us into their homes, and our caregivers have stepped up with unmatched, deeply personalized care. We look forward to delivering Happier Aging across the globe for years to come."
