Do you need someone to be there just in case?

At Home Instead, we know how important it is to know that you or your loved ones feel safe and fully supported at home, no matter the time of day or night. Our experienced and highly dedicated Care Professionals on sleeping night care can offer help getting ready for bed, are right there to help you overnight if you need it, and can support you in getting up and ready for the day ahead in the morning. Although they sleep in your home rather than staying up all night, they’re still right there and on hand if you need support at any point.

Benefits of sleeping night care

As well as the reassurance of knowing that someone will be there and on hand whenever you might need it, sleeping night care ensures that those specific health challenges are never without the immediate support they need.

  • Tailored support for going to bed and getting up, including medication management, mobility challenges, toileting, or just being some company with your morning cuppa!
  • Someone already in your home to respond to emergencies or unexpected issues that arise overnight
  • Peace of mind for yourself and your loved ones knowing that help is always on hand
  • More affordable than waking night care, as the carer can sleep on shift but is still right there to help if needed
  • Maintain your independence and usual routines so that you can get a better night’s sleep and have more energy during the day

So give us a call (or ask us to call you back) – we’ll answer all your questions and put together a care plan that’s fully tailored to your individual needs.

Why choose sleeping night care at home?

Sleeping night care at home offers significant advantages compared to hospital or care home settings. Remaining in a familiar environment reduces stress and anxiety, promoting better emotional wellbeing. Personalised care at home ensures tailored, one-on-one attention, adapting specifically to your individual needs and preferences rather than being one of many on a ward or in a home. And it’s hard to beat the comfort and security of being in your own bed and maintaining your usual routines, for both convenience and overall quality of life.

Knowing that a carer is present overnight brings peace of mind, ensuring that immediate assistance is available in case of unexpected situations or emergencies. This sense of safety is crucial not only for the individual receiving care but also for their family members who can rest easy knowing their loved one is looked after. Since the carer is allowed to sleep during the night, sleeping night care is also a lot less expensive, making it a more economical option for those who still need occasional support but are also still highly independent. Despite the lower cost, this type of care still offers personalised assistance tailored to your individual needs, whether that involves help with toileting, managing medications, or providing companionship so you don’t wake alone in an empty house.

What is sleeping night care?

Sleeping night care means having a dedicated Care Professional stay in your home during the night, asleep but on hand to assist with any needs you might have. A friendly and caring professional will be in your home all night long, offering personal care and support whenever you need it most.

This type of care is perfect for anyone who feels more secure knowing someone is present to help in case of emergencies or unexpected situations, but does not require constant attention or proactive monitoring for the whole night.

Who is sleeping night care for?

Having a carer sleeping over in your home for the night is a great solution for anyone who wants to maintain their independence but also has some worries and concerns about not having help on hand if something happens. From organising medication at bedtime to helping you rise and shine in the morning, we can make sure you have the right support in place so that you never feel isolated, and you and your loved ones are happier knowing that you’re never going to be without support if you need it.

Health condition? A sleeping night Care Professional is on hand through the night if your symptoms suddenly worsen or you need additional help.
