How we can help
Is it safe for my loved one to stay at home with dementia?
Yes. Remaining in a familiar environment is often the best way to manage anxiety and confusion. We offer scalable support, from a few hours of respite to 24/7 supervision, ensuring your loved one is never alone or at risk. As their needs progress, we adapt the level of care to keep them safe and comfortable at home.
Are your caregivers trained in dementia care?
Yes. Our caregivers receive specialised training in dementia care. They are equipped with practical strategies to handle behavioural changes, communication difficulties, and safety concerns (such as wandering) with skill and dignity. This ensures they can manage challenges confidently without causing distress.
How do you handle aggressive or confused behaviour?
We view behaviour as a form of communication. Our caregivers are trained to identify the underlying triggers, such as pain, hunger, or frustration, rather than just reacting to the symptom. We use gentle redirection and validation techniques to restore calm and resolve the situation without conflict.
Will we have the same caregiver every time?
Yes. Consistency is critical for someone living with dementia, since a familiar face builds trust and reduces confusion. Instead of a revolving door of staff, we build a small, dedicated team who your loved one will always recognise and feel comfortable with.

Vicki Hewitt
Agnes and her team helped my father and me as he battled a very aggressive degenerative disease. After going through all the bureaucracy of MyAgedCare and other government departments, it was so much easier to get going with Agnes and the carer who worked with us. They were very attentive to any issues, and reassured us along the way. I very much recommend Nurse Next Door Coffs Harbour, would go with them again in a heartbeat.

I recently had the sad experience of visiting a friend who was receiving end of life care from "Nurse Next Door" in Woolgoolga. Agnes and her team of amazing carers went way beyond what I myself could ever provide someone in this situation. The care and patience given to my friend was something I will never forget. If you have anyone who needs special care for a loved one I cannot recommend these wonderful people enough. Thank you to every one of those who cared for Carmen. Judy McLachlan

After a while in hospital I returned home and needed assistance doing everything and Agnes and her staff were more than helpful for up to 6hrs a day for the first 2 weeks and continued on decreasing the hours up till now. I am more than grateful for the service I have received and I would recommend Agnes to anyone needing care.

Agnes is so happy and very caring, also very passionate about her work. Agnes has been a huge inspiration for me as I feel safe, confiding in her for any health concerns I may be experiencing with my catheter, also new ways for my self esteem to improve the best possible outcomes for me.
