Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
Jodie has been very responsive and prompt with her email communication. She has also done an excellent job arranging for nurses to visit the client on time.
Melissa Connor
Cannot speak highly enough of the Nurse Next Door team. Nurse next door has provided engaged and pro-active care for our Mum. We are so pleased to have finally found an organisation that is responsive and has great staff that engage well with our Mum, and who actually identify issues rather than us having to chase things up. The whole aim is to ensure Mum can stay at home for as long as possible and Nurse Next Door makes that a lot more possible, and gives us (daughters) more comfort.
