For many living with care and support needs, night time is when they feel most vulnerable and being left alone can feel daunting. If you or a loved one want the extra security and assurance of having a peaceful night’s sleep at home then our overnight service can help. Overnight Care gives you peace of mind should you need help during the night.
Depending on your care needs and preference, overnight care can be provided in the following ways:
Sleeping night care – A sleeping night carer will sleep during the night, however they will be on hand to support you up to twice during the night, providing you with the comfort and reassurance that someone is there should you need them. In the case of live-in carers, sleeping night care ensures your main carer is sufficiently refreshed to continue supporting you during
the day.
Waking night care – A waking night service is required when a person does not sleep through the night, needs continual attention, and cannot be left alone. A waking night carer’s duties can include anything that you or your loved one needs assistance with, whether this is mobilising in bed, watching & monitoring health changes, toileting support or medication
administration. Your carer will be on duty all night, ensuring that they are available at any time during the night that you need assistance. The rest of the time, your carer will be fulfilling any other tasks which need completing around the house.
