Staying socially active is vital for your mental and physical wellbeing. Our companionship care services are designed to bring energy and meaningful interaction into your daily routine.



We believe the best care happens when there is a genuine connection. We understand your personality and lifestyle, pairing you with a caregiver who shares your interests so every visit is something to look forward to.

Genuine connection is central to companionship care, whether you receive aged care or disability support. Each local caregiver is matched to your personality and interests, so in home care becomes a source of company and connection rather than a routine visit.
Our caregivers live and work locally, so care at home is never far away, anywhere in Sorell.

I love working for Nurse Next Door Hobart East, it gives me a good life/work balance, we have a great support network and we can really make a difference for our clients.
I have a brother that was discharged from hospital in January 2026. My brother being on the NDIS. Nurse next door have been so professional with their Supports. Nothing was a problem, always giving me updates and because of the quick and prompt responses it was easy to iron out issues that popped up. I have felt very comfortable knowing he is supported. My brother has liked and felt very comfortable with all the staff. This is big as he is a gentleman that prior to hospital lived by himself for many years and is very routine focussed. To have Support staff sleeping over night in is home was huge. I feel very grateful for their services, the overnights are not need now but still having support during the day. I can not speak more highly of the company. Well done!
We have recently changed my Dad's care arrangements to the Nurse Next Door. This is the best thing we have done for him. The care he gets from the team of carers is fantastic. From the first consultation to the weekly schedule and updates in his care, we could not ask for a more professional service. The communication is fantastic, the care is consistent and his house feels clean. But most of all my Dad is happy, he actually looks forward to his carers coming now. The Nurse Next Door has gone over and above to accommodate all of Dads needs. I can highly recommend The Nurse Next Door for anyone wanting professional and compassionate care for their family.
Petra just gets it. She is so amazing. Highly professional yet incredibly caring. Seriously just perfect.

Nurse Next Door East provides exceptional care and support and goes above and beyond to provide outstanding care for my loved one. My uncle is not just a client but a person who has interests, family life, connections to the community and Nurse Next Door East ensures that he can still enjoy life with their support. Nurse Next Door East provides a wholistic approach not only supports in the home but also with health. Petra and Sarah are both nurses and it is reassuring for me to know if my uncle is unwell the carers will flag this with Petra and Sarah then a follow up visit is done. I live 2.5 hours away so this gives me peace of mind. Communication is honest and super prompt and it doesnt matter what time of the day I contact, I will always get a very prompt reply or phonecall. Nurse Next Door East not only supports our loved ones needing care but also the family. Words cannot express how how appreciative and happy we are that you are all involved in our lives. My uncle has a fabulous team around him to ensure he can live his best life. Thank you for what you do and who you are.
