How we can help
How soon should I book post-operative care?
We recommend booking as soon as your surgery date is confirmed. This allows us to prepare your home and match the right team to your specific needs. However, we understand that medical schedules change, and we can often accommodate last-minute requests if your discharge date moves.
Do I need a Nurse or a Caregiver?
This depends on the complexity of your recovery. A caregiver is well suited to help with mobility, meals, hygiene and medication prompts. If you require injections, complex wound dressings or clinical monitoring, we will assign a registered nurse. Many clients combine both for complete support.
Is there a minimum booking time?
No, our service is flexible. You can book a Settle-in Service for just the day of discharge, or ongoing support for several weeks. There are no lock in contracts, so you can simply use the service until you regain your strength and independence.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I am a full-time carer for my mum and have been for the last four years. I made the decision to change to Nurses Next Door Rockhampton after a bad experience with our previous company, and it has been the best decision I have ever made. The office staff made transitioning easy and comfortable—they are so welcoming and caring, and nothing is too much. The ladies in the office are bubbly and have made a really difficult time in mine and my mum’s life a lot easier. The RN who visits our home comes in with a big smile and bubbly personality, making even a bad day so much better. They go above and beyond to ensure the client and family have everything they need—they genuinely care about both the client and their family. I no longer feel invisible. The support workers I have met are amazing. They are caring, happy to be in your company, and always willing to help make life easier for the client and Family members. Thanks to them, my mum has regained her independence. The team at Nurses Next Door has helped me be a daughter to my mum again, which I never thought was possible. You’ve given both of us our smiles back—we finally get to be happy and make memories together. If you choose Nurses Next Door Rockhampton as your support company, you won’t regret it. Thank you to all the lovely ladies on the team, from the bottom of my heart—from a very grateful daughter.
