Nurse Next Door provides $1 Million in free nursing for vulnerable seniors

The home care provider Nurse Next Door is donating $1 million to provide free in-home nursing and care for vulnerable older Australians through the Making Lives Better Million.

Keir Williams, the managing director of Nurse Next Door Perth South East, says the initiative targets seniors who cannot afford private support and are waiting for government-funded care.

These individuals often struggle to access basic necessities such as meal preparation, medication management, and daily showers while they wait for official funding or a spot in a residential facility. The program aims to bridge the gap for people who have fallen through the cracks of the current aged-care system. Residents living within the areas served by Nurse Next Door can apply for this short-term support to help them manage at home.
