It has been well documented that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on hospital staff and services, along with exposing a number of health care services that remain under strain.
One such strained service is quality aged care and disability support, with vulnerable residents facing extreme delays in receiving the healthcare and support they need.
To address this need, a local resident with a passion for making lives better has launched a home care business with a unique model to give people the care and respect they deserve, while also reconnecting with their zest for life.
Registered Nurse, Meridee Lawley has launched the Melbourne North branch of Nurse Next Door Home Care Services.
Meridee and her team of trained health care professionals provide people in need with the opportunity to remain living independently at home while still safely participating in the local community.
“Nurse Next Door is focused on getting Melbourne’s northern residents who require some level of care back to doing the things they love,” Meridee said.
“We want every one of our residents to live their best lives regardless of their age or ability.”
After years as a paediatric nurse, Meridee brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the homecare sector, using a model she believes will close the gap between the growing demand on the healthcare system and the shortage of accessible, quality care.
Meridee is determined to offer a service that allows all clients to receive comprehensive and timely healthcare in their own homes and on their own terms, offering everything from providing simple companionship, to 24/7 nursing.
