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
The Nurse Next Door Adelaide South West Team are Amazing! I cannot reccommend them enough! When Mum's Package finally came through Anthony, Sally & Jo made appointing them her provider and beginning her services so easy and seamless. There was just kindness and ease. Being an only child, Mum has become more reliant on me as she has got older and had more health issues which have caused her to slow down and have more restrictions on what she used to be able to manage. The Wonderful thing with Nurse Next Door is they match their carers to their clients well and Mum has two lovely carers who come twice a week and she loves them. They take her to appointments, shopping and on all sorts of outings and sometimes just stay with her at home and help her with tasks she needs some help to acheive. Another Benefit is she also can get 3 light and easy meals a week which helps her and makes it that she has less meals preparation to do which the careers are available to help her with anyway. The flexibility of the the visits to be added or moved slightly when she has appointments is amazing. Belinda and Sheree show such care and consideration for mum and time spent with them builds her spirits and give her purpose. She has also had the addition of Mandy filling in when the other girls aren't available and Mandy is such a joy and really has a good laugh with mum's and keeps her spirit young at heart. Belind G has also joined her team for extra household cleaning and maintenance that mum cannot manage on her own anymore. I also cant thank Kerry enough for filling in while mums regular girls were away. It warms my heart to see that she is now feeling more independant of me and has her own self worth and purpose the team make her feels so supported to stay in her own home. Thanks so much for the ongoing support from the Nurse Next Door Adelaide South West Team. We look forward to a long relationship of care for mum. Deirdre Dixon on behalf of Rosemary Dixon.

Mandy Brown | Adelaide South West
My family and I are incredibly grateful for the Nurse Next Door Adelaide South West team, who have been supporting my Dad with NDIS services. From the very beginning, the intake process was so well done, and the team matched Dad with the perfect carer. Whenever we have needed extra supports, their communication has been consistently prompt, friendly and genuinely caring. The level of care and compassion Dad receives from his team is outstanding. It’s such a comfort knowing we can trust Nurse Next Door Adelaide South West to look after him so well. We couldn't be more thankful for them!
