How we can help
What is a Care Designer?
A Care Designer is always a senior Registered Nurse. They are your dedicated partner who develops and oversees your care plan, manages the roster, and ensures we are meeting your specific goals, whether that is remaining independent at home or accessing the community.
How does Care Management work with the new Support at Home Program?
Under Support at Home, Care Management is a vital service to help you coordinate your distinct funding budgets (Clinical, Independence, and Everyday Living). We help you plan your quarterly budget so you don't run short on essential services.
Can I access Care Management privately?
Absolutely. Many families choose to pay privately for a Care Designer to oversee a loved one's care, especially if they live interstate or have complex medical needs. We provide the same level of clinical oversight and advocacy regardless of how the service is funded.
Can you support both NDIS and Aged Care in one household?
Yes. Mixed funding households are common. If one family member is on the NDIS and another is accessing Support at Home, your Care Designer can coordinate rosters to minimise disruption and streamline communication.
Do you charge for Care Management?
Yes. For Support at Home clients, this is paid from your funding budget. For NDIS participants, it is covered under relevant support items. For private clients, we offer a transparent fee structure. We ensure you understand all costs before care begins.
What happens if there is an emergency after hours?
The Care Services Team is available 24/7, 365 days a year. If a crisis occurs or urgent advice is needed, you can call and speak with a team member who knows your care plan.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
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!
Belinda Mellis
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.
Mylene Recio
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

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

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. 🙏
