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.
Delivering a WOW Customer Experience
I cannot thank Anna enough for the incredible care and support she gave during my recovery after leaving hospital.
Gary Cox
How lucky are we? Anna has been looking after my Dad for a few months and he is very impressed ( he is hard to please) with the quality and professional care he receives. He really enjoys how caring Anna is with her lovely and friendly disposition. He feels safe when in her care whether showering at home or out shopping. As a family, we cannot recommend them highly enough.
Elizabeth Cockerill
Magda and all the carers at Nurse Next Door have been fantastic! Their communication has been great, they are reliable and most of all they understand how to best support our family.
Meaghan Mayne
“I recently had Nurse Next Door Home Care Services Macedon Ranges. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The home care & meals for one were prompt, professional, and the final product exceeded my expectations. I would definitely use this service again in the future and recommend it to others.”
Kaylene Rothe
Extremely caring, attentive, always on time and just lovely people. You can really tell they are passionate about not only the physical but also the mental wellbeing of their patients. After spending a month in the Alfred hospital, they gave me the ability to move home with daily dressing changes, wound cleaning and checkups, and their care was by far the best I had received. Thank you for everything Anna, Magda and Sarah ❤️
Beau Williams
