Getting better—
MADE BETTER
Experience care that is
clinically exceptional and deeply personal
We believe a surgical procedure is only as successful as the recovery. Our private nurses combine medical expertise with calm attentiveness, creating an environment where you feel seen and supported—never rushed or overlooked.
We believe you deserve nursing care that respects your privacy, honors your experience, and puts your wellbeing and outcomes first.
Our mission is simple:
To make your recovery smoother, safer, and (of course) more serene—so you can focus fully on the business of getting better.
Who We Are
-
Our Serene team of Registered Nurses has broad experience in the OR, pre-op and post-anesthesia care, emergency medicine, ICU, and home health. With this range of backgrounds and a real passion for bedside nursing, we’re able to deliver exceptional, high level care.
-
To bridge a common post-surgical care gap, providing compassionate, professional concierge nursing care that helps you recover safely and comfortably at home. We aim to create a smooth, elevated, deeply personal recovery experience every step of the way—focused on your specific needs, preferences, and peace of mind.
-
We believe recovery is a critical part of your surgical outcome, not an afterthought—and that you heal best when you feel fully seen and supported. Optimal recovery is guided by the skill, attention, and steady, reassuring presence of a caring professional. Recovering from surgery isn’t just about healing physically—it’s about moving forward into your next chapter with confidence.
-
At Serene Aftercare, we are here to serve you—wholeheartedly and without exception. Whether you are recovering from plastic surgery, orthopedic surgery, total joint replacement, general surgery, or any elective procedure, our mission is to support you with compassionate, expert care every step of the way.
We meet you where you are, both in your healing journey and in the place you call home. Your comfort, safety, and peace of mind are at the center of everything we do. With a personalized, hands-on approach, we are here to ease your recovery, advocate for your needs, and ensure you feel supported, seen, and cared for—wherever you are.

Meet Kristine
About the Founder
Kristine Greene grew up on the Central Coast, where her passion for nursing first began while studying Kinesiology at Cal Poly. As a nursing student at Cal State San Marcos, she quickly discovered her calling in peri-operative care.
For the past 13 years, Kristine has had the privilege of serving her community as a Recovery Room nurse, working alongside expert surgeons, exceptional nurses and care teams in both hospital and outpatient settings.
After years of serving as a Director of Nursing at a private surgery center, Kristine identified a significant gap in post-surgical care within her community—particularly during the first 24–72 hours immediately after discharge. She is honored to extend her passion for recovery nursing beyond the clinical setting and into the homes of patients who would benefit from an elevated level of care and attention.
Patient comfort and continuity of care are two core values that Kristine cherishes. She is proud to have seen these values come to life as the guiding principles of Serene Aftercare.
When Kristine isn’t channeling her passion for nursing, she’s joyfully keeping up with her greatest treasures—her energetic 6-year-old boy/girl twins. Motherhood has deepened her appreciation for the incredible community they are so blessed to call home. Through it all, her husband has been a constant source of unwavering support, standing by her side every step of their journey together.
Kristine finds serenity and peace through watercoloring and creative expression, or in quiet moments of spiritual gratitude at the beach—standing in awe of the ocean’s power, the beauty that surrounds her, and the warmth of the sun’s gentle rays. This sense of calm, inspiration, and love for serving others led to the design and creation of Serene Aftercare—may you, too, find your serenity.
