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.

Thank you to all the team for caring for my brother through late stage MND. Your staff were exceptional through an extremely difficult time for my brother and our family. We could not have asked for better care. I would highly recommend Kristal who went above and beyond for my brother and the family. Thank you again. We could not have gotten through without you. 🙏
Sarah Harwood
Kristal and team are amazing! Their care, compassion & professionalism are second to none. We engaged their services following medical advice of additional care required for my Mum late last year and they could not have provided better support, care and guidance. Only regret is we wish we knew them earlier!

I was so relieved to find out about Nurses Next Door. It was the help I needed for my parents and having met Krystal and Oscar gave me peace of mind. Nurses next door can cover from nursing capabilities to disability and aged care. I came with specific requirements and they gave exactly what my parents needed - social care, company, and a lot of help from their doctor's appointments. I highly recommend Nurses Next Door and if you live in the North Shore area, Krystal and Oscar can provide you or your loved ones the best care.

I hired the services of Nurse Next Door to be a "buddy" for my sister, to take her for a walk & coffee once per week. Their business works in a very courteous and professional manner, keeping me informed of any minor adjustments in their plan. So thank you very much Kristal and your team. Best of luck. Garry

Chris O'Brien
Kristal & her Ku-Ring-Gai Nurse Next Door team have been absolutely amazing. From the first phone call to starting care was a seamless and easy process, the team swiftly started care and have never missed a beat. They have kept the family updated with all the stages and changes of my MIL and always make sure she is receiving the best care, support & love. I cannot recommend nurse next door enough! Their slogan really is true. “Our Talent is Caring”. Thank you Kristal x
