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.

I couldn’t recommend Nurse next door more highly. My daughter has very complex high care needs and they were so helpful filling shifts for us at quite short notice with fully qualified registered nurses. The nurses were fantastic and very experienced. Looking forward to working with them again. Catherine McCann

We have only just begun our aged care journey. Just before I stumbled across Nurse Next Door it felt as though I’d been shopping for a used car with care factor 0, no understanding of situation, just number crunching with little human element and endless call backs chasing me for the business with no care felt whatsoever. Kylie was my first contact and she was highly professional, empathetic/understanding and totally accommodating to our situation. She revealed a little of the back story behind the business and what twins, Michelle & Nicole, are doing to provide a service to our local community like they do is noticed and appreciated! Omg am I so glad I found you. Thanks for showing up in my parent’s time of need. It’s early days but we already feel completely supported and heard. Keep up the pink! 🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷

Nurse Next Door Home Care Services has been a wonderful inclusion and integral part of my mother's goals to remain independent in her own house while she works through her medical condition. The team of nurses lead by Cheryl have been amazing both professionally and personally. Updates and reviews have been instrumental in being able to address events in real time all without having to worry or stress my mother. Now having been backed by NDIS funding we are able to have more support from the team to help my mothers journey for independence and normality.

This year my father found himself in the situation of needing care at home for wound management, but also general care needs around the home. Nurse Next Door were available immediately to fill these gaps, while remaining flexible with his reoccurring hospital presentations, they were always professional and caring. Communication was exceptional particularly in a very stressful time for us as a family. Have already recommended them, and send them a big thank you. My father has passed away now, but they made a stressful year that bit easier. Many thanks again

I have never been more happy and more grateful to a company of ladies who are so devoted to their profession as home assistance providers as the staff at Nurse Next Door Gawler Barossa. From the first interview to now everyone has been so helpful, nothing to difficult easy to talk to and very understanding of my husbands condition.With the upcoming changes that will start on 1 November 2025 these people are on top of it all.Thankyou one and all again and keep up the great work ladies.
