Owner Lee Hecker started the Fort Worth franchise after his experience advocating for his mom’s healthcare and struggling to find the care she needed. Nurse Next Door’s Happier Aging model resonated with him after experiencing firsthand impersonalized, task-oriented care that his mom received. In addition to Happier Aging for our clients, Lee and the Fort Worth team believe in taking great care of our caregivers, so they’ll take great care of our clients.
We do this through our employee culture known as our People Promise, paying competitive wages, and offering paid time off to all team members. The result is a team of caregivers who are Making Lives Better for their clients and providing peace of mind to their loved ones.
Whether care for your loved one is needed for a few hours a day or around-the-clock, we guarantee that you will be paired up with suitable caregivers who are meticulously screened and are perfectly matched based on their skill-sets and interests. Furthermore, our care plans are uniquely tailored to your loved one’s needs and preferences.
We provide services across the full spectrum of care, including Alzheimer’s and dementia care, high-acuity care, personal care, respite care, post-surgical care, and transportation/accompaniment - all with no long-term contract.
Your call is answered by a real person within 30 seconds, any time—day or night. Call us anytime to book a complimentary Caring Consult™. We listen to your needs—whether that’s elder care, personal care or recovery support—to learn how we can make your lives better.
A Care Designer meets with you, virtually or in person, to assess your needs and preferences before creating a Care Plan tailor-made for you. We match you with the perfect caregiver with the right skills, a kind heart and a personality you’ll love.
