Who Needs Night Care at Home?

Night care helps anyone who feels unsafe or anxious during nighttime hours. Whether you're unsteady on your feet, managing complex health conditions, or recovering from illness, professional overnight support provides peace of mind.

Many families choose night care when they've been taking turns staying awake to help, recognising that everyone needs proper rest to stay healthy.


Many people wonder whether night care is necessary. It's not just for people who are seriously unwell - it's for anyone who would benefit from additional safety, assistance, or peace of mind during vulnerable nighttime hours. A consultation can help determine whether night care would improve your sleep quality, reduce anxiety, or provide practical benefits that enhance your overall wellbeing.

Sleeping Night Care

For those who occasionally need assistance overnight, our carer remains in your home throughout the night—resting but readily available should help be needed. This provides reassurance that support is immediately at hand if required.

Waking Night Care

When more attentive overnight support is needed, our carer remains awake and alert throughout the night, providing proactive assistance with changing positions, medication, personal care or comfort. Perfect for more complex health needs or during recovery periods.

Common Questions About Night Care at Home

What's the difference between sleeping and waking night care?

With sleeping night care, your carer remains in your home overnight and can be woken if assistance is needed. They're permitted to sleep but remain on-call for support. With waking night care, your carer stays fully awake throughout the agreed hours, providing proactive care and regular monitoring throughout the night.

When should we consider waking night care rather than sleeping night?

Waking night care is typically recommended when the person needs frequent assistance during the night (more than 2-3 times), requires regular repositioning to prevent pressure sores, needs regular medication, experiences significant night-time confusion, or has a condition requiring continuous monitoring.

Can night care be combined with daytime support?

Absolutely. Many clients combine night care with our daytime visiting care or live-in care services for comprehensive 24-hour support. We ensure seamless communication between night and day teams to maintain continuity of care.

How do you ensure night-time dignity is maintained?

Dignity is our priority at all hours. Our night carers receive specific training in providing discreet, respectful support during vulnerable night-time hours. We work closely with you to understand personal preferences around night-time care, ensuring support that maintains privacy and dignity.

Who Finds Night Care Most Beneficial?

  • People recovering from hospital stays or health setbacks
  • Those living with conditions requiring overnight monitoring or assistance
  • Individuals experiencing increased confusion or anxiety as evening approaches
  • People needing regular repositioning or physical support during the night
  • Those with conditions requiring careful overnight medication management

    • Will the night carer disturb others in the household?

    Our night carers are trained to work quietly and unobtrusively. During the care assessment, we'll discuss sleeping arrangements and how to minimise disruption to others in the home, ensuring everyone gets the rest they need.
