Meet Alexandra McLeod and Team at Nurse Next Door Orillia
Alexandra McLeod, our Regional Manager at Nurse Next Door Orillia, grew up in Barrie and is a Nipissing University graduate with 15 years of experience in education. She now applies that passion to supporting seniors and their families.
Alexandra's commitment to care stems from her personal experiences navigating the healthcare system as a child. This led her to understand the importance of reliable support during challenging times, whether it's for practical help, companionship, or professional nursing.
She leads with compassion and enthusiasm, fostering a team that treats clients like family and delivers the same level of care she would want for her own loved ones.
At Nurse Next Door Orillia, we believe it's about caring, not just health care. Our priority is focusing on the needs of your loved ones and getting them back to being healthy and doing the things they used to love. We cover a full range of senior home care ranging from housekeeping to end-of-life care. Whether elder home care service is needed for a few hours a day or around-the-clock, we guarantee that you will be paired up with suitable caregivers who are perfectly matched based on skill-set and interests.
We provide services across the full spectrum of care, including, Alzheimer's and dementia care, companionship care, homemaking, personal care, relief and respite care and transportation/accompaniment - all with no long-term contracts

Loved by Clients, Trusted by Families
The caregivers at Nurse Next Door (NND) were excellent! They spent time with my parents and were understanding of their needs. They took time to get to know them and what their favorite activities and foods were. The managers at NND were also very responsive to our needs and were able to accommodate our schedule, even on short notice. I highly recommend Nurse Next Door!
James R.
From the very first day, NURSE NEXT DOOR, has been there not just for my husband, but me too. They call and check up on us, even after we are discharged from their services. They go above and beyond.
Vickie G.
Wow! Extremely impressed and satisfied with the care that is given to our grandma by Nurse Next Door Home Care. It feels as if one of her very own family members is taking care of her. She is so happy with the care and love she’s been receiving for the past few months. The management and staff is also so attentive to our needs and requests. Thank God we were recommended this company by one of our close friends.
Kaushik R.
An Amazing company that cares about their customers, and families. Very compassionate and understanding. A very delicate and emotional situation for us, but they take the extra step to make sure everyone is cared for the way they deserve.
Colin S.
We have been receiving service for my mom from Nurse Next Door and couldn’t be any happier. We have never felt any safer than now since we know she is in good hands. This team feels like family.

Frequently asked Questions
What if I need to speak to someone after business hours?
Our Care Services Center is open 24/7. Call anytime, and one of our Care Services Specialists will be happy to assist you.
When should we consider 24-hour home care?
Use this list to help you decide if continuous monitoring is something you should consider:
- The person doesn’t sleep through the night (or gets up more than 2-3 times per night).
- The person has difficulty moving around and is at a high risk of falls.
- The person was recently (or is about to be) discharged from the hospital and needs constant monitoring.
- The person’s spouse or relative is exhausted from helping day and night.
If one or more of these statements is true, call us for a more thorough Caring Consult™.
How much does Nurse Next Door cost?
Nurse Next Door's services vary in price depending on the level of care required and the Nurse Next Door Care team that services your area. To get a better idea of pricing in your area, speak to one of our Care Services Specialists—we're open any time, 24/7.
We also offer a complimentary Caring Consult™, during which one of our care designers will help you determine the amount of care you may require. We'll then work with you to balance your budget and needs and find a home care option for you.
Can I trial Nurse Next Door or do I have to sign a long-term contract?
You are not locked into a long-term contract as a Nurse Next Door client.
To try out Nurse Next Door, just contact us to book a complimentary, no-obligation Caring Consult™. One of our care designers will visit your home to assess your needs and design a care plan with you, including frequency and duration of care.
Are your home care services only for seniors?

Visit our services page to explore our full list of services.
Will I have the same Care Team all the time?
At Nurse Next Door, we strive to provide consistent care with regularly assigned caregivers. If your Caregiver isn’t available, we will ensure a suitable replacement that meets your unique needs.
Does Nurse Next Door conduct a background check for Caregivers?
Yes, all Nurse Next Door Caregivers are carefully screened with criminal background checks, vulnerable sector checks and reference checks. We verify our Caregivers' educational credentials upon hire and ensure, on an annual basis, that every Nurse is registered and in good standing with their respective College of Nurses.
Why should I use Nurse Next Door instead of hiring a private caregiver?
While private caregivers also offer personalized care, we go beyond that by matching you with the perfect Caregiver and providing a reliable system you can trust. Our 24/7 live support and activity monitoring system ensures you receive reliable, quality care every visit.
