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.

H. Aydarkie
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 :)

Nurse next door is an excellent company. They not only give the highest quality of care but match the nurse with the clients needs and personality ensuring they provide not physical care but also emotional support. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care of any kind.

Linda Hart
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.
Melanie Jacobs
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!!

clarrie young
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.
