Overnight Care
Care at home is often chosen because its allowing people to stay in their own home even when their care needs increases.
​
What Is Overnight Care And How Does It Work?
Overnight care is when a carer stays in your home overnight to maintain your routine. Care needs don't stop at the end of the working day so overnight care gives you the peace of mind that an experienced carer is there throughout the night to support even the most complex of needs.
Depending on your needs, overnight care can be: sleeping in carer or waking night carer.
​Sleeping In Carer
A sleeping in care is required when you need a carer to sleep in your home to ensure safety and security. Ongoing support may not be required throughout the night, but when you feel anxious or uncomfortable when left alone throughout the night, a carer will be there to remove any anxiety and make you as comfortable as possible.
​
Often Live-in care provide this service as they will be living with you in your home, and will always be on hand to assist care during the night. When you need assistance more then twice a night throughout the night this requires a waking night carer to give a live-in care a rest to continue supporting you throughout the day.
​
If you think you will need sleeping night carer rather than live-in carer, please let us know and will give you a suitable carer.
​
Waking Night Carer
When you are waking up more then twice in the night and need support then a waking night carer is the perfect carer for you to give your live-in carer time to rest. The waking night carer will be able to provide support to those who need regular help changing position whilst in bed, requiring medication throughout the night or for those who wake up confused and need reassurance.
​
If you think you will need a waking night carer rather than a live -in carer, please let us know during your care assessment so we can ensure all your needs are met and we can give you a suitable carer.
