Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I had a nurse from Nurse Next Door stay with me overnight while I did a prep for a procedures the next day. She prepared the medications, monitored my Blood sugar levels and blood pressure, and checked that I was safe all night. It was very comforting and made me feel that I would get through ii, and took away the anxiety. I was better with the nurse than I would have been hospital. I highly recommend this service
Mary Vincent
I feel very honoured to have been the very first client for Nurse Next Door at Kiama! I needed assistance after knee replacement surgery including showering, putting on and taking off surgical stockings and transport to my medical appointments. They also assisted me with some light household duties in the first week or so. Michael, Rebecca and especially Julie are such lovely people and gave me the confidence, reassurance and advice to get back on my feet in a month or so. They were kind enough to make arrangements so I didn't miss out on getting to see Keith Urban in concert again in Wollongong- we had such a fun night! I highly recommend this service - they helped me out so much and we had lots of fun along the way.
