I have been exceptionally impressed with the quality of care I have received from Nurse Next Door Gawler and Barossa, friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable staff and management who are experienced and willing to jump in to help. I feel supported and listened to. I have been with three other companies through NDIS and none of them hold a candle to Nurse Next Door, they have made my life better. Of particular note, their documentation and communication is outstanding which is seriously lacking in the industry. I have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful company and feel so lucky to have found them.

We have only just begun our aged care journey. Just before I stumbled across Nurse Next Door it felt as though I’d been shopping for a used car with care factor 0, no understanding of situation, just number crunching with little human element and endless call backs chasing me for the business with no care felt whatsoever. Kylie was my first contact and she was highly professional, empathetic/understanding and totally accommodating to our situation. She revealed a little of the back story behind the business and what twins, Michelle & Nicole, are doing to provide a service to our local community like they do is noticed and appreciated! Omg am I so glad I found you. Thanks for showing up in my parent’s time of need. It’s early days but we already feel completely supported and heard. Keep up the pink! 🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷
