Making Lives Better®
Owned and operated by Gold Coast locals Lauren Macdonald and Glen Parsons, Nurse Next Door Home Care Services Gold Coast proudly serves the community from Broadbeach all the way down to Tweed Heads, including Springbrook and surrounding areas, offering home care that’s Making Lives Better®.
Born and bred on the Gold Coast, Lauren is an outdoors person who loves the natural environment, especially the ocean. Family is most important to her, driving her passion to do home care differently in her local community and make it possible for older Australians and those living with a disability to remain in their own home, connected with family, friends and community, for as long as they choose.
Lauren’s promise is to do whatever it takes to bring you peace of mind that you, or your loved ones, are happy and safe at home.
Happier Ageing
Like everyone at Nurse Next Door, Lauren believes that every age counts. She infuses our Happier Ageing® philosophy of care into everyone she cares 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, Lauren will help you reconnect with your interests, hobbies and passions that you may have lost along the way.
Our Talent is Caring
Lauren’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. Lauren carefully matches caregivers based on your individual needs and is confident that you will receive the best care in the Southern Gold Coast.
Nurse Next Door Southern Gold Coast 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.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
We engaged the services of Nurse Next Door Gold Coast in January this year to assist my elderly mother with her recovery from major surgery. The level of service and care that my elderly mother received from Lauren, Julie and her wonderful team of nurses, was second to none. They were genuinely caring, compassionate and kind and whenever they had any down time, they would busy themselves cleaning Mum's cupboards, vacuuming, mopping....you name it, they did it. It was wonderful for me to be able to go to work, knowing that Mum was in such good hands in her own home. I cannot speak highly enough of the amazing service Nurse Next Door gave us, especially at such a worrying and emotional time when Mum's health took such an unexpected turn for the worst. If we ever need assistance again for Mum, Nurse Next Door will undoubtedly be our preferred option. Thank you again to Lauren, Julie and the girls.
Lyn Brodbeck
Lauren and her lovely team of nurses went above and beyond for my client. He had oral surgery and required a registered nurse to look after him during the night. The nurses were exceptional, thorough, punctual, caring and handled the family dynamic very well. I will definitely recommend and use nurse next door again.
