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.

Rev and the team, I’m not even sure how to put into words how helpful they were through what was a very hard time. My family were in crisis and I needed to organise 24/7 supervision in a matter of a few days. Rev gave me peace of mind and become a supportive partner in this journey and I am completely grateful. The nurse that came was kind and caring and exactly what we needed during this tough time. Thank you!

Rev and her team are amazing! I cannot thank them enough for the kindness, consideration and care they show - everyone goes above and beyond and they make a huge difference! They have a very challenging role but everyone from NND approaches their work with a smile and good humour. Special thanks to Ezra, Vicky, Peter, Pinky and Ken, you have all been so wonderful to my family and we feel lucky to have had you as part of our team :)

Nurse Next Door home services are caring, professional and reliable. Their staff are so helpful in a difficult time. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing assistance in caring for their loved one at home.
Fiona Tremaine
Rev, Glenn and the team at Nurse Next Door have literally SAVED us! They have been the very best to work with - providing excellent staff for my severely disabled and chronically unwell brother. Even more importantly, they are not just nice when things are going well, but take action and make changes when things are not working out. I am very picky, and my brother needs 24/7 high intensity care, and I cannot recommend Revital at Nurse Next Door highly enough. She's the best of the best.
Julienne Verhagen
When my mother was rendered incapable after some mini-strokes, and before she could be moved into full-time care, we used the services of Nurse Next Door to provide 24 hour nursing at home. We were delighted with both the quality of care they provided, and in their organisation and administration. They claim to provide "peace of mind" and in my experience they did exactly that. I can whole-heartedly recommend them.
