The cost of overnight care depends on the type of service and the level of care your loved one needs. The overnight care service can be divided into three different sections: Waking Night, Sleeping Night, and Overnight Sitting service.
The cost of a Waking Night will differ from a Sleeping Night. This is because, during the Waking Night, the Care Professional is awake and on-call the whole time. They will be able to assist your loved ones with whatever they may require, as often as it is needed.
Whether that is toileting, mobility, or administering medications, our Care Professional will be there for you or your loved ones.
Waking Night is usually the most costly overnight service. This is because it involves a Care Professional staying up the whole night to assist their client. As they are caregiving throughout the night, they will not be able to work the next day. This means that the Care Professional needs to get paid in full during this specific nightly service.
The overnight care costs depend on the level of care required. The price will differ between Dementia Waking Night service and a Companionship-based Waking Night service. All our overnight services can be combined with other specialised options.
At Home Instead Bromley, we pride ourselves on creating bespoke elderly care packages, tailored to your loved ones’ requirements, likes, and dislikes.
A Sleeping Night is usually the cheaper option for a night time service. A Care Professional spends most of the night asleep, waking up only a couple of times to provide their Client with care and support.
This option is perfect for those who get anxious at night but only need occasional assistance. Knowing there is a friendly face in the vicinity offers both the care recipient and their family peace of mind.
The cost of this overnight care service will also depend on how specialised the care requirements of a Client are. For example, companionship Sleeping Night service will usually cost less than a personal care service or dementia-based service.
This service, also called the Overnight Sitting service, is usually used when the primary caregiver needs a break. A temporary Care Professional replaces the primary carer, allowing them to relax knowing that their loved one is in good hands.
Overnight Respite care means that the primary caregiver can rest throughout the night. This allows them to work and live a normal life during the day.
Our Care Professional are matched according to your loved ones’ care requirements, as well as personality and likes. We can ensure that your family member will look forward to their visits and feels comfortable in their Care Professional presence.
Paying for your care might seem like an impossible task, however, there are ways of receiving financial backing. To find out whether you are eligible for financial support, you will need to contact your local council first. They will arrange a care assessment, as well as a financial assessment, which will determine your loved one’s suitability.
If your loved one needs either personal care or medical care, it is likely the council will determine them as suitable. You will then be able to choose your own care provider – we really hope you join our family at Home Instead Bromley!
