Inside Nurse Next Door
The right questions before you start
The concept at a glance
Founded in 2001 and franchising since 2007, Nurse Next Door has grown to more than 400 locations worldwide. The brand was created after co-founder Ken Sim experienced firsthand how clinical and impersonal the traditional home care industry could be. In response, Nurse Next Door built a model that goes beyond basic task-oriented care, focusing instead on Happier Aging® — helping seniors reconnect with the things they love. A standout feature of the system is the centralized Care Services Center (CSC), a 24/7 hub that manages scheduling, client coordination, and inbound inquiries on behalf of franchise owners, freeing them to focus on business growth and community engagement.
