What is overnight care?
Overnight care means a carer stays in your loved one's home overnight to provide reassurance and support when it's needed most. They can assist with toileting, repositioning, medication, or simply be there to offer reassurance through the night.
It's a good option when full live-in care isn't required but extra support is needed overnight. Care can be arranged for a few nights after a hospital stay, on regular nights each week, or for short periods. Overnight support can be either sleeping nights or waking nights, depending on your loved one's needs.
