Companionship care in Knox:
How we can help
Can my companion drive me places?
Yes. Your caregiver can provide transportation in their vehicle or yours, whether it's a trip to a local club, a medical appointment or a scenic drive, getting you there and back safely.
Will I get the same person every time?
Yes. You are paired with a primary caregiver so you can get to know each other and build a genuine, trusting relationship over time.
Is this just for people who live alone?
Not at all. Many clients live with family who work during the day. Companionship care keeps your loved one engaged, safe and happy while you are at work or taking a break.
Can we just stay home?
Yes. Your caregiver can assist with hobbies, look through photo albums, play music or simply sit and chat over a cup of tea, all from the comfort of home.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
Nurse Next Door has been amazing for my son’s post surgery care. They have been professional and efficient and helped me immensely with wound care and advice. Highly recommend!
Anna Lloyd
Nurse Next Door provides an excellent service to my adult daughter who has complex skin care needs.The nurse was kind , courteous and knowledgeable .Highly recommended.
Toni Heron
I changed to nurse next door as previous provider could not supply the same person or consistent time. Many times no one came. I was expecting that this would be the case for other providers . Not so with Nurse next door Tecoma. We now have a nurse driven service ( not all of them are) able to supply consistent carers at the same time each day. An RN came and did the initial assessment of the home and my friends needs. That did not happen previously, it was done over the phone. Not only that their RN’s have driven quality care, making suggestions that transformed our lives. I am an RN myself and l am so impressed with the service. I should have changed ages ago. I am no longer burnt out, feel totally supported and just want to shout out to the whole world, nurse next door is amazing . Thank you guys you saved me and my friend. So much appreciation going your way!!

Paul Kok
This service is just amazing and we are so grateful and happy we found it! We needed some after surgery nursing care, to be provided in our home as we couldn't get out to the hospital, with the care and expertise expected from a hospital service. Our nurse, Michelle, was absolutely wonderful and a ray of light during such a difficult time. She is very friendly, approachable and knew exactly what she was doing. We were very impressed with the whole service, from first contact with the Intake Centre to the ongoing care provided by Michelle. The care and compassion across the entire service was amazing. When we had an issue getting help Nurse Next Door was there for us, thank you!
Nicole Rimmer
We had a date and time booked and the nurse arrived on time, performed the nursing task quickly and efficiently. The reminder we received on the weekend prior so we knew we were definitely booked in was excellent. Great company providing an excellent nursing service.

So far all dealings we have had with staff and associated companies of Nurses Next Door have been no fuss, helpful and prompt….we cant fault the service at all. My mum feels so much more at ease now she has such helpful friendly people to assist her!
Shell Miles
It should be 10 stars not five. The nurses are so kind and helpful to my husband Peter who was looking after me for 4 years. He could not go past this company Nurse Next Door, these nurses that come to the house are are incredible, caring people. You could not choose any better caring company of nurses.
Jenny Brandon
Chen and Shae have been amazing at sourcing workers for my constant last minute requests. The support workers I have interacted with have all been incredibly friendly and also greet you with a smile and a willingness to give it their all. I have tried other support worker companies and none of them have been able to provide me the flexibility that Nurse Next Door has. I have already recommended Nurse Next Door to my Support Coordinator and other allied health companies I use.

Rosemary Giampaolo
Nurses next Door was an amazing service. Debbie provided that extra time with us to understand our grandson's needs which meant a lot to us. Nurses next door provided a very professional service. As a parent, you always feel that no one can look after your child as well as you. Debbie and her team showed so much care towards the job of looking after my grandson that it helped put my mind and heart at ease. Thank you so much :)
michelle salisbury
I can highly recommend these wonderful people. They are very caring, knowledgeable, skilled nurses. Happy to help in anyway they can. We were floundering when mother-in-law came into our care but Michelle and her crew have been great and sorted us out to a large extent. Chris Atkins
Chris Atkins
The nursing team at Nurse Next Door are friendly, helpful and professional in caring for me. I have confidence in them and know they will be there for me when I need medical assistance. I am on the government End of Life Pathway Program for people who have less than 3 months left to live. Nurse Next Door has spent time getting to know me and my wife personally to ensure they know our requirements and anticipate what future needs we may have. They have also offered to assist us in many other ways as I am be cared for in my home. This takes a big burden off of our shoulders to know that we are well supported in difficult times.
