How we can help
Will I have the same caregiver every time?
Consistency is vital for personal care. We build a small, dedicated team around you so you are always supported by familiar faces. This ensures you build a professional, trusting relationship and never have to explain your routine to a stranger.
Can I request a male or female caregiver
Yes. Tell us your preference at your Caring Consult, and we'll match you with a caregiver who puts you at ease.
Do I need special equipment?
Not always, but your safety always comes first. Our Registered Nurse or Care Designer can assess your bathroom and recommend equipment, such as a shower chair, grab rail or raised toilet seat, to help reduce the risk of falls.
Can I book personal care just for the mornings?
Yes. Our support is fully flexible to suit your lifestyle. Many clients book a specific "Morning Routine" visit (e.g., 2 hours) to assist with showering, dressing, and breakfast, allowing them to start their day safely and independently.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I am providing feedback on behalf of a NND client currently receiving services from Nurse Next Door Ballarat receiving chronic wound management. Michelle and her team have gone above and beyond for me, ensuring I feel comfortable prior to and during all procedures. I would like to thank Michelle and her team for providing an exceptional service. My wounds are improving each day thanks to Michelle and her skilled team. Noelene

What a great idea, it has been needed for a long time. I have been doing aged care 20years, my family didn’t put my sister in a residential as we looked after her. I see so many people who do not need to be in residential with all the red tape. I have helped my nextdoor neighbours to get assistance at home. Wow keep up the good work.

I am enormously grateful for the ongoing support which Nurse Next Door in Ballarat provides for my elderly mother. Their staff are consistently gracious, attentive and caring. Their services are professional and very competently delivered both in their home care and in their administrative arrangements. And their genuine dedication to my mother's well-being is superb.
