How we can help
Do you cook in my home or bring the food?
We cook directly in your kitchen. This means every meal is fresh, hot and prepared exactly how you like it, and unlike frozen delivery services, you keep full control over the ingredients and flavours.
Can you cater to specific medical diets?
Yes. We often support clients with specific needs such as diabetes management, diets for heart health or texture modified diets for those with swallowing difficulties. We can follow instructions from your GP or Dietitian strictly.
Do you do the cleaning up?
Yes. We leave your kitchen spotless, washing the dishes, wiping down the benches and packing away any leftovers, so you can simply relax after your meal.
Can I go shopping with the caregiver?
Yes, we encourage it. Going to the supermarket or the local market is a great way to stay active. We can drive you there, help carry the bags and assist with unpacking at home.

Excellent nurses. Not only do the nurses do what they’re tasked to do, they also give you a boost with their friendly chat and their genuine care...

Have had two nurses from NND at home to dress a leg wound for several weeks, Excellent, professional staff. Proved a great help to me for dressings I could not do due to personal frailties. I would recommend them, anytime.

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 :)

I have been with NND for a few years now. So accommodating, professional, caring and friendly. I have dealt with others and they are the most organized.
Julie Prior
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.
Maria Hartigan
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.

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!!

Debbie from Nurses Next Door is just lovely. Very kind, patient and understanding. She had gone out of her way to help me and make me feel comfortable as well as help with things that my support coordinator could be doing. She has contacted my GP herself for prescriptions and followed up on other needs.
