How we can help
What is the difference between prompting and administering?
Prompting is when a caregiver provides a friendly reminder that it is time for medication and hands you your pharmacy-packed aid (like a Webster-pak) to take yourself. Administering is where a qualified caregiver or Nurse physically prepares and gives you the medication (including injections, creams, or loose tablets) and observes you taking it. We offer both levels of support depending on your needs.
Can your staff give injections?
Yes, in many cases. Straightforward injections, such as fixed dose or single dose insulin, may be given by a qualified caregiver. More complex injections, including sliding scale insulin and other clinical injections, are carried out by our Registered Nurses or Enrolled Nurses.
Is this covered by the Support at Home Program?
Yes. Medication administration by a nurse typically falls under the Clinical Care funding classification. Your Care Designer will help you budget for these visits to ensure your health needs are prioritised within your funding level.
Do I need a Webster-pak?
No, you are not required to have a Webster pack. We can support medication administration directly from the original packaging. However, to help you maintain independence and ensure medications are taken safely and consistently, pharmacy-packed aids such as a Webster pack or sachets may be beneficial.
What happens if my doctor changes my dosage?
We take care of it for you. If your medication changes, our clinical team liaises directly with your GP and pharmacist to update your medication chart and make sure your packs are repacked or updated straight away, so your routine stays accurate without you having to chase anything up.

Sarah
“Nurse Next Door” the name says it all, I was amazed by the efficiency and prompt service of their clinical nurse who administered one of my elderly clients' pressure sore within 24 hours of a phone call. She was not only dedicated to her work, but also kind at heart and empathetic. The nurse provided additional care and attention by taking time to purchase medicated bandage upon assessment of the pressure sore. The nurse also patiently directed their family members to wound dress their mother themselves. I would highly recommend any health care service providers to use “Nurse Next Door” for effective treatment and patient satisfaction.

Gracely She is very diligent and inspiring support worker who approaches her duties by fully considering the needs of the client. She always considers that the safety of the client is paramount. She helps me to understand the new technology that impacts on my daily life. This technology can take many different forms. For example, this could involve travelling to activities outside my residence and in the wider community.
