About the founder
Care led personally, with clarity and accountability.
Ali T. Harris, RN, BSN, founded Next Move Care to help patients and families face complicated healthcare decisions without carrying the whole plan alone.
The person behind the mission
Guidance shaped by nursing and lived experience.
Ali's work across hospital case management, discharge planning, hospice, serious illness, and healthcare leadership showed him how easily families can be left to translate medical language, chase unanswered questions, and hold together a plan they did not create.
His own journey through war, displacement, rebuilding life in the United States, personal loss, fibromyalgia, and mental-health challenges deepened his respect for invisible symptoms, uncertainty, stigma, and the effort it takes to ask for help. Those experiences inform empathy and listening—not an assumption that every person's story is the same.
Next Move Care is Iraqi-owned, LGBTQ+ owned and operated, bilingual in English and Arabic, and intentionally respectful of partners, chosen families, families of origin, women, transgender and nonbinary people, older adults, disabled people, immigrants, refugees, and people of every background.
Experience
Clinical understanding without overstepping the role.
Ali has worked in nursing and care transitions since 2016. His experience includes hospital case management and discharge planning, hospice admissions and end-of-life care, home health, acute hemodialysis, emergency care, and intensive care.

The approach
Calm with families. Respectful with professionals. Firm when important questions remain unanswered.
Independent by design
Next Move Care, LLC does not act for a hospital, facility, payer, or hospice during a client engagement and does not accept payment for directing a person to a provider or facility.
Clear professional boundaries
Written authorization, a defined scope, and realistic expectations come before active advocacy. Treating professionals remain responsible for diagnosis, orders, treatment, and direct care.
Take the Chance. Make the Choice. Create the Change.
Start with one clear conversation.
Chance means asking whether another responsible path deserves consideration. Choice means making an informed decision. Change means taking the next practical step—not promising an outcome.
