As the third generation of the Herring family to join the company, Lexi brings nearly a decade of nursing expertise and passion for patient care to her new role as Home Care RN Liaison.
Founded in 1973 by Carroll Herring, Eldercare at Home has been a pillar of trusted, in-home care for Wilmington’s senior community for over 50 years. Carroll’s vision of compassionate service began in the family’s garage and grew into Wilmington’s first in-home care company. Her son, Russell Herring, carried on her mission, founding AssistedCare in 1994. Today, AssistedCare at Home serves the community with a wide range of services, including developmental disability care, private duty nursing, with Eldercare at Home continuing to specialize in senior home care.
Russell Herring, CEO of AssistedCare and Eldercare at Home, shares his excitement for the next chapter: “I am thrilled to welcome my daughter, Lexi, as the newest member to our team. As a third generation, Lexi brings not only tremendous nursing education and experience, she brings fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. She also has a deep understanding of Eldercare At Home’s rich 50-year legacy in this community. Today marks a significant milestone in our family business journey, bridging our proud past with an exciting future.”
Lexi’s career began at Duke University Hospital’s Neonatal ICU before transitioning to the Operating Room at NHRMC, where she completed an intensive perioperative training program. She later served as a Clinical RN at Wilmington Plastic Surgery while earning her Master’s in Nursing Education from UNC Wilmington. Inspired by her grandmother, Lexi is committed to providing care that mirrors the love and attention she would want for her own family.
“I could not be more grateful to join the team of Eldercare at Home. It is a calling to honor and serve those who have paved the way, ensuring dignity and comfort in their golden years. I hope to preserve the remarkable legacy that my grandmother started, strengthen our deep connections within the community, and contribute to something that has always been a part of who I am.” Lexi shared.
