Overnight care
What will an overnight care worker do?
- Having someone on hand means that there’s someone being watchful and aware if you need any support overnight
- They can help you take your medication when you need it – even if that’s in the early hours of the morning
- Your care worker can help you to the toilet – which can sometimes be disorienting in the middle of the night
- Or if you’re recovering from illness or an operation, they can regularly reposition you
- Night-time can be time when people living with dementia can become disoriented and confused. Having an overnight care worker in the house can provide peace of mind for the whole family
Types of overnight care
Depending on your care needs, we have an overnight care solution to suit you:
- Waking nights care – if you need a lot of support during the night
- Sleeping nights care – up to two instances of support during the night
We can also provide an overnight respite (sometimes called sitting) service. One of our trained care staff supports you overnight while your regular carer takes a well-deserved break. We can arrange this for as often as you and your carer need it.
