How we can help
How soon should I book post-operative care?
We recommend booking as soon as your surgery date is confirmed. This allows us to prepare your home and match the right team to your specific needs. However, we understand that medical schedules change, and we can often accommodate last-minute requests if your discharge date moves.
Do I need a Nurse or a Caregiver?
This depends on the complexity of your recovery. A caregiver is well suited to help with mobility, meals, hygiene and medication prompts. If you require injections, complex wound dressings or clinical monitoring, we will assign a registered nurse. Many clients combine both for complete support.
Is there a minimum booking time?
No, our service is flexible. You can book a Settle-in Service for just the day of discharge, or ongoing support for several weeks. There are no lock in contracts, so you can simply use the service until you regain your strength and independence.

Trevor Hone
Gracely She is very diligent and inspiring support worker who approaches her duties by fully considering the needs of the client. She always considers that the safety of the client is paramount. She helps me to understand the new technology that impacts on my daily life. This technology can take many different forms. For example, this could involve travelling to activities outside my residence and in the wider community.

When my husband needed care, we got recommended to this place. I could absolutely say this organisation has a heart of gold. The carers they employ, are like angels on earth. They cared for my husband like he was their relative. I could never thank them enough for all they did. Im truly grateful and thankyou to have met them. They truly changed my life Thank you x

“Nurse Next Door” the name says it all, I was amazed by the efficiency and prompt service of their clinical nurse who administered one of my elderly clients' pressure sore within 24 hours of a phone call. She was not only dedicated to her work, but also kind at heart and empathetic. The nurse provided additional care and attention by taking time to purchase medicated bandage upon assessment of the pressure sore. The nurse also patiently directed their family members to wound dress their mother themselves. I would highly recommend any health care service providers to use “Nurse Next Door” for effective treatment and patient satisfaction.
