Our Story

Making Lives Better in Maquarie

Owned and operated by Michael Zhang and Gloria Tang, Nurse Next Door Ryde proudly services the Upper North Shore of Sydney, from Pymble to Hunters Hill, from Ermington to Lindfield, providing compassionate 24-hour at-home services of aged care and disability support.

Michael combines his extensive corporate management and operations experience with his passion to build an inclusive and supportive community. He believes in the importance of teams and devotes himself to creating a caring and respectful family for caregivers and nurses.

Gloria grew up spending much time with her grandparents from whom she received the best care and unconditional love. Today this life experience has become the source of her passion and strength to love and care in practical ways for the elderly. Working as a caregiver herself, she has a natural attunement to people’s emotions and needs. She believes that the best service starts from a healthy and effective connection between service provider and the client.

Michael and Gloria’s promise is to do whatever it takes to bring you peace of mind that you, or your loved ones, are able to live the best life while happy and safe at home.

Happier Ageing®

Like everyone at Nurse Next Door, Michael and Gloria believe that every age counts. They infuse our Happier Ageing® philosophy of care into everyone they care for, no matter their age or ability, with one simple question:

“What did you use to love doing that you no longer do?”

From your Caring Consult through to the development of your Care Plan, Michael and Gloria will help you reconnect with your interests, hobbies and passions that you may have lost along the way.

Our Talent is Caring

Michael and Gloria’s team of qualified, trusted and extraordinary nurses and caregivers live and breathe Nurse Next Door’s core values, including admiring people and being passionate about making a difference, and are all happy and naturally caring people who love making others smile. Michael and Gloria carefully match caregivers based on your individual needs and is confident that you will receive the best care.

Nurse Next Door Ryde provides care services, including dementia and Alzheimer’s care, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), nursing care or simply companionship, 7 days a week, 24 hours day, to suit your needs – all with no long-term contracts. Nurse Next Door knows that having a live person to speak with can make a world of difference when there is an emergency, so our Care Services Centre is always available 24/7.

The biggest reason for that rating is that I have finally found a service I can rely on with confidence to help my mum live a quality life at home. My mum lives alone and does not speak English. I want to find her a carer who not only speaks her language fluently, but also is sensitive to her cultural needs, professionally trained, and consistently available. This task has been proven to be very difficult and frustrating with the carer provider companies I used in the past, until I found Nurses Next Door Ryde. Michael from Nurses Next Door is kind hearted, hard working, and passionate about his work. He demonstrates his professionalism and his willingness to understand his clients' need from the first time we made contact. The carers Michael provides for mum have all the qualities I am looking for. When issues arise, Michael is approachable, always there to provide helpful advice and solutions, and quick in action. Mum for the first time felt secured and happy because of the consistency and quality the care Nurses Next Door provides. I am very impressed by and forever grateful for Michael and Nurses Next Door's service.

My father recently passed away. Many months ago, I spoke to Michael at Nurse Next Door. My father was being stubborn and wanted no help. Michael listened to me and came to visit with one of his nurses. He was clam, patient and reflective. Months passed and every few weeks Michael would check in. And he was genuinely just checking in. Three days prior to Christmas, we needed care. I called Michael. He was calm, said he would do everything he could, notwithstanding the time of year. He visited the next day and we had care the next day and over Christmas. The care was incredible. She lay next to my father showing him photos. Propping him up. Keeping him warm or cool. Keeping him as hydrated as possible. Michael visited Christmas Day with chocoloates and a hug for my mother. It was an enormous relief for us. A few days later my father was not with us, though the care and attention of Michael and his team was just incredible. I cannot recommend enough. Thank you.

We were delighted with the service Michael arranged, and Momoko carried out, caring for my elderly uncle on a holiday trip by plane away from his nursing home. Momoko was wonderful, and my uncle thinks he has a new girlfirend! She carried out all the "hard" caring roles that I and my family are unable and unqualified to do, as well as becoming a good friend to him, and being able to get through his chronic deafness. He doesn't like showers, but Momo was able to gently persuade him to have one and enjoy it. She also dealt well with a difficult situation when the booked wheelchair taxi did not arrive at the airport to collect them when it shoud. Would highly recommend this service.

This team is amazing, From my first contact (and I've never used a service like this before so I had no idea what I was doing) they calmly and professionally talked me through the process, helping me to feel in control and get the service that suited my recovery best. There were orientation phone calls to really ensure they understood my needs, and then the team came out. The two ladies I was partnered with were absolutely amazing. They had the practical skills to help me (when I was struggling to understand my own recovery limitations) as well as to step back as I recovered. They were also such lovely people, providing emotional support and practical advice, without being overly 'chatty'. I have recommended friends who are looking to work in the sector contact this company - and would absolutely use them again as well as recommend to friends. Just brilliant.

My family cannot rate the care and attention supplied by Michael and his team highly enough. We were in urgent need of in-home social, domestic & medical services for our 93 yr old mother. Nurse Next Door were able to respond almost immediately to our enquiry and provide exactly the right people for the job - showing great sensitivity for the challenges of dealing with a somewhat reluctant elderly client and soon building trust with her. Michael's flexibility and willing adaptability to meet our mother's frequently changing circumstances (due to her fluctuating health) were remarkable and the dedication of his staff to my mother's health and well being was truly remarkable. We could not recommend the services and client management shown by this team more highly - in every respect Nurse Next Door is an outstanding service provider.

I can highly recommend Michael and his team of carers. The service that Michael offers is incredible. From the first day that I spoke to Michael, he offered whatever help he could, such as finding equipment providers for me and was also available to speak to at any time. My dad was looked after by an amazing team of carers who understood my dad's needs and over a six month period, we saw an improvement in my dad's dementia due to the care they provided. They genuinely cared and took the time to get to know my mum and dad. We will miss their smiling faces visiting us everyday. Thank you.

From the first day I received assistance from Nurse Next Door Home Care Service, I have had excellent care and support on every occasion. Lillian has been kind, considerate at all times and is extremely competent. My family are delighted with the feedback that I have shared with them and it has given them assurance of the consistency of the standard of care. I would recommend this company without hesitation and I am confident that their commitment to excellence is unwavering.

I would have to echo other reviews in their high recommendations for Nurse Next Door. I have found the nurses to be both gentle and patient, and willing to take the time to build a relationship, which is great. This makes the care that they provide that much more valuable, especially when dealing with reluctance to even accept help. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and I would also like to note Michael's attention to detail, care, and flexibility when schedules need to be adjusted, as they so often do. Highly recommended!
