What does overnight care involve?<\/h2>\n \n

Overnight care is when a carer stays with you during the night to support your care needs.<\/p>\n \n \n

Overnight care<\/a>\u00a0is specifically for those that have additional needs overnight, require 24-hour care or become more anxious during the early hours by themselves. This level of care supports people to continue their usual day-to-day activities throughout both the day and the night. Typical tasks that our carers assisted with include\u00a0personal care<\/a>, administering medication, helping you to and from the toilet and ensuring you have a safe night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

Care during the night is suitable for anyone in need of extra support overnight \u2013 whether they have a spinal injury and need help turning safely in bed, or if they have dementia and regularly wake throughout the night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n

Why choose overnight care?<\/h2>\n \n

Overnight care is a stable support option for those with unpredictable care needs.<\/p>\n \n \n

Care may be required at any time, day or night, which is why it\u2019s important to consider your overnight support if you\u2019re living with a long-term health condition or have complex care needs.<\/p>\n

Things can seem more difficult at night and it\u2019s a time when we typically turn things over in our minds, dwelling on what\u2019s happened and what will happen in the future. Sleep-in care, also known as overnight care, provides assistance before bed and upon waking, helping with tasks like dressing, taking medication, and preparing breakfast. This service is ideal for those who need reassurance during the night or struggle with being alone. Sleep-in care provides proactive support for those with changing needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
