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.

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! 🩷🌼🩷🌼🩷

Caring, wonderful service from Nurses Next Door. I am so grateful for their prompt, courteous, kind and professional manner in which they have helped and looked after me. The Nurses personnel are absolutely the best help I could ever have hoped for in time of urgent and continuing need.
Lorraine Castle
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.
