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 recently had the pleasure of utilizing Nurse Next Door Armidale, and I can't express how grateful I am for their exceptional support. From the initial consultation to the ongoing care provided, the experience has been outstanding. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable, professional and compassionate home care services. They have truly made a difference in our lives, and I am so thankful for their support. Sruthi and her team are amazing!

Nurses are very professional, and cheerful, they make me feel very comfortable and relaxed. They are making my life better by bringing genuine joy in to our house. When they leave for the day I feel confident and happy that they have done everything possible for me during the visit. I am very happy with the service that I am receiving from Nurse Next Door.

Head Nurse Sruthi and the whole team go above and beyond for their consumers. I’ve worked with them closely over the last few months with a rural consumer and their attention to care, communication & follow up has been phenomenal. I would recommend them to anybody, thanks again for all your hard work and help.

A really great team of highly qualified, professional and caring staff! They have assisted in making my situation easier to manage, supported me in the tasks I cannot do myself and provide an ear and comfort when things get tough, as some days obviously are better than others.
