Inspire to Serve Home Care was founded on a lifelong passion for caring for others. From a young age, Cheryl Lee knew she wanted to become a nurse. That dream became a reality and has grown into more than 24 years of serving patients and families with compassion, dignity, and excellence.

Cheryl earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The College of New Rochelle in New York and her Master of Science in Nursing from Emory University School of Nursing. She also holds certification in Medical-Surgical Nursing (CMSRN), reflecting her commitment to lifelong learning and providing safe, evidence-based, high-quality care.

Throughout her nursing career, Cheryl has had the privilege of caring for patients in a variety of healthcare settings. She began her career at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, where she spent three years caring for patients with diverse medical needs. After relocating to Georgia, she worked full time at Emory University Hospital for more than 11 years, caring for medical surgical patients. During that time, she also served as a Clinical Instructor for Emory University School of Nursing, helping educate and mentor future nurses entering the profession.

Cheryl later had the honor of serving our nation’s veterans at the Atlanta VA Medical Center for more than eight years as a Registered Nurse in the Surgical Clinic and as a surgical nurse case manager. While each role throughout her career was unique, one lesson remained constant: exceptional care extends far beyond treating a medical condition. It means listening with compassion, advocating for patients, educating individuals and their families, coordinating care, and helping them navigate an often complex healthcare system. Those experiences have shaped Cheryl’s approach to nursing and continue to serve as the foundation of Inspire to Serve.

Throughout her career, Cheryl recognized that most people want to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes whenever possible. Home is where memories are made, families gather, and healing often feels more personal. She also witnessed many families struggling with the difficult decision of placing a loved one in an assisted living community or nursing facility because they lacked the support needed to safely care for them at home.

That understanding became deeply personal as Cheryl helped care for her own grandmother. Like so many older adults, her grandmother’s greatest wish was to remain in the home she loved, surrounded by the people she loved. Cheryl and her family experienced firsthand both the joys and the challenges of caregiving. They understood the physical and emotional demands, the difficulty of balancing family responsibilities, and the frustration of trying to find compassionate, dependable caregivers who could be trusted to provide quality care.

Finding the right caregivers made all the difference. With the support of a dedicated care team and the love of her family, Cheryl’s grandmother was able to remain at home, maintain her dignity and independence, and enjoy a fuller, richer quality of life. That experience reinforced Cheryl’s belief that the right care can do more than meet physical needs. It can bring comfort, preserve independence, strengthen families, and allow loved ones to continue making meaningful memories together.

 Inspired by both her professional experience and her family’s personal journey, Cheryl founded Inspire to Serve Home Care with one simple mission: to provide the same compassionate, dependable, and personalized care she would want for her own family.

 Our mission is to provide safe, dependable, compassionate care that allows individuals to remain independent while giving families the support, education, and peace of mind they deserve. We believe home care is about more than assisting with daily activities. It is about preserving dignity, building trusting relationships, encouraging independence, and improving quality of life.

Our team consists of Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) who share that same commitment to compassionate care. Every caregiver is carefully selected, undergoes comprehensive local and federal background checks, and receives ongoing education and training to ensure the highest standards of safety and professionalism.

At Inspire to Serve, we are honored to care for seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities throughout our community. We believe every person deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and compassion. It is our privilege to walk alongside our clients and their families, providing not only exceptional care but also encouragement, advocacy, and hope every step of the way.

For Cheryl, nursing has never simply been a profession. It has always been a calling. Inspire to Serve was built on that calling and remains committed to serving every client with the same compassion, dignity, and excellence that have guided her throughout her nursing career.
