Our Story
Building a successful home health care business
Co-founders John DeHart and Ken Sim found an opportunity when Ken’s wife went on emergency bed rest while pregnant.
Looking into the home health care business industry further, John and Ken found sterile businesses that provided the basics, making life only slightly more bearable for their clients. They knew that they could create something better and launched Nurse Next Door in 2001.
Our Core Values
Why our health care business partners thrive
Many companies have core values in their mission statement, but few truly live by them. Nurse Next Door is one of those few.
Core values are part of our DNA — it is the filter that our Leadership Team uses for decision-making, how our caregivers engage with clients, and how those who are lucky enough to become a Franchise Partner operate their business.
Admire People
Our clients aren’t just case files. They’re real people.
Wow Customer Service
“Good” just won’t do. We don’t rest until we’ve exceeded expectations.
Find a Better Way
We try new things and grow through innovation.
Passionate About Making a Difference
We look for people who genuinely care about what they’re doing.
Our award-winning Leadership Team
“When Cathy Thorpe joined Nurse Next Door as its president in 2014, she already knew the home-care provider from being a customer five years earlier.
Her mother was recovering from surgery, and she was struck by the quality of care the company delivered to her family.
Four months later, Thorpe began a friendship with co-founder John DeHart..”

We Believe You Can Stay at Home
If you ask anybody, the overwhelming majority of people will say that they want to stay in the comfort of their own home as they age. That’s why we’ve taken this stance and our goal is to educate others about this possibility. For us, the heart of a home care business is centered around caring, not just health care.
We are #HappierAging
What did you use to love to do that you no longer do? This is the question we ask clients so we can get them back to doing the things that bring them joy. We’re living and spreading a culture through our clients, caregivers, people and industry disruptors.
We Make it Easy for You
We believe in making processes as easy as possible. That’s why we’ve leveraged technology to making scheduling responsive to business and client needs as well as make better decisions through consolidated financial reporting. With our recognized brand, people want to work for us.
We are 3 x 3
We are a premium brand and we believe that clients benefit from service at least 3 times per week for at least 3 hours per visit. This time allows caregivers to develop relationships with clients that go beyond tasks. In addition, clients benefit from consistency of care.
We are Bold Pink
We’re not afraid to stand out in an industry that is often looked at as somber and melancholy. We are different and we’re bold about it. From our unique partnerships with hospitals and rapid expansion into the United States, our goal is to become international.
With our Happier Aging® program, it’s not just about health care. Help seniors rediscover their hobbies as they age in the comfort of their own home.
