Nurse Next Door

It's about CARING, not just Health Care. It was in this role that Amanda saw the desperate need for in-home healthcare and nursing services.

Local couple Amanda and Todd Carwell have what it takes to bring the best home care services to local Red Deer Families. Amanda, a Registered Nurse, graduated from the University of Alberta in 2003 before working as a home care Case Manager with Capital Health. Todd, meanwhile, recently graduated from the University of Alberta as well but with a focus in business. An entrepreneur at heart, Todd knew he and his wife possessed a unique set of skills that could change the way home care was delivered to seniors in Red Deer and Northern Alberta. In order to meet the rapidly growing needs of Red Deer and Northern Alberta seniors for reliable home care services, Amanda and Todd decided to launch a local Nurse Next Door franchise. The couple knew this would be the way they could help Red Deer and Northern Alberta seniors who wanted to stay at home for as long as possible. With their unique combination of healthcare and business experience, Amanda and Todd are poised to become both experts and leaders in home health care and elderly care in Red Deer and Northern Alberta. They have made it their goal to build Nurse Next Door into the premier home care service provider in Red Deer and Northern Alberta and offer families the peace of mind they need when they are caring for aging loved ones. Nurse Next Door offers a wide range of one-on-one Home Care Services in Red Deer and Northern Alberta.

Happy Halloween season! 🎃

Making sure everyone in the family is part of the fun is what the holiday is all about. Even with mobility or health concerns, you can easily include your senior loved ones.

Here are 3 simple ways to bring the fun right to them:

The Candy Czar: Set up a comfy, safe chair near the door and let them handle handing out the treats. It gives them a wonderful sense of purpose and interaction.

The Creative Director: Involve them in decorating a small, indoor area. Simple, safe tasks like placing pre-carved pumpkins or hanging lightweight indoor decorations are perfect.

Cozy Movie Night: Host a themed movie marathon! Think blankets, hot cider, and non-scary classics. It’s a low-key, inclusive way to enjoy the evening together.

Are you running on empty? Caregiving is an act of love, but it shouldn't cost you your well-being. ❤️

If you're experiencing any of the warning signs in this post, please know that it is okay to seek support. Caregiver burnout is real, and it often starts with feeling guilty about taking time for yourself.

We are here to help you recharge. Our compassionate team provides Respite Care—a temporary, vital break that allows you to step away, breathe, and return refreshed.

Taking time for yourself is not selfish; it’s essential for you and your loved one.

Standing Strong for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💪💖
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, remember those we've lost, and celebrate the incredible strength of survivors.

At Nurse Next Door, our mission is to "Make Lives Better Every Day," and that includes providing compassionate care for individuals and families facing a breast cancer diagnosis. We understand that this journey requires more than just clinical care—it demands emotional support, a helping hand with daily living, and a commitment to helping clients live their best life at home.

This month, we honor the courage of every person affected by breast cancer. We encourage everyone to prioritize early detection through regular screenings and to support the caregivers who stand by their loved ones every step of the way.

How we support our clients on their journey:

Personal Care: Assistance with hygiene, dressing, and mobility with dignity and respect.
Companionship: Being a friendly, consistent presence to provide emotional support.
Post-Operative & Recuperative Care: Skilled nursing and support services for recovery right at home.

Together, we can show that kindness is a powerful form of care.

Demand for compassionate, high-quality home care is on the rise, and at Nurse Next Door, we're seeing it firsthand. More and more seniors are choosing to age in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes, a preference often referred to as "aging in place."

This growing demand is fueled by a few key factors:

The Aging Population: With the Baby Boomer generation reaching their senior years, the number of older adults who may require support is increasing significantly.

A Desire for Independence: Seniors today want to maintain their independence and stay in the community they love.

Holistic, Personalized Care: Families are seeking care that goes beyond medical needs to include companionship and support for a fulfilling life.

We're proud to be a part of the solution, offering flexible, professional, and joyful care that helps seniors live their best lives at home.

Nurse Next Door is an in-home care provider with a unique philosophy centered on "Happier Aging." We aim to go beyond traditional home care by focusing on what makes seniors happy and fulfilled, not just on their basic needs. Our goal is to empower seniors to live their best lives and maintain their independence and dignity.

Here’s how Nurse Next Door makes this possible:

Focus on Passions and Purpose: The core of our philosophy is helping seniors get back to doing the things they love.

Care plans are personalized to include the client's interests and hobbies, ensuring that every day is filled with joy and meaning.

Personalized, One-on-One Care: Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, Nurse Next Door creates a customized care plan for each individual. We also work to match clients with caregivers who have a similar personality, interests, and language, fostering a strong and consistent relationship.

Comprehensive Services: We offer a wide range of services to support all aspects of a senior's life, including:

Personal Care: Assistance with daily tasks like bathing, grooming, and dressing.

Companionship: Social interaction and support to combat loneliness and isolation.

Meal Preparation: Ensuring clients have access to nutritious, home-cooked meals tailored to their needs.

Homemaking: Light housekeeping to keep the home clean and safe.

Transportation: Providing transportation to appointments, social events, or for errands.

Specialized Care: Offering care for specific conditions like Alzheimer's and Dementia, as well as post-operative and end-of-life care.

Empowering Independence: The services are designed to support, not replace, a senior's abilities. The goal is to help clients maintain as much independence as possible while ensuring their safety and well-being.

Peace of Mind for Families: Nurse Next Door also provides respite care for family caregivers, giving them the time they need to rest and recharge. We offer 24/7 live support, so families can have peace of mind knowing that help is always just a phone call away.
