Why choose waking night care at home?
Waking 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.
For older adults with more complex needs, waking night care at home is a far better option for minimising the risk of infections that are so commonly acquired in hospitals or communal living facilities. It’s easier and more practical for family to visit you at home rather than having to go elsewhere, and you get to keep your independence while living with greater dignity in your golden years.

Who is waking night care for?
Having a carer on hand and awake for the entire night is a great solution for anyone who has specific needs overnight but doesn’t want to have to go into residential care, or a hospital stay, to have them met. From needing help turning over in bed to mobility or toileting support, or just companionship in the small hours if you experience insomnia, 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 going to be well looked after at all hours.
Health condition? A waking night Care Professional can offer proactive support through the night if you’re living with a challenging condition, or need monitoring or medication support.
Prone to falls? Regain your confidence and independence by having someone familiar awake and on hand to help you get out of bed and to the bathroom.
Not so mobile? All our Care Professionals are fully trained to provide mobility support and assistance if you’re living with a disability or just can’t move as easily as you used to.
Living alone? Having a trusted Care Professional on hand can give emotional security and peace of mind by knowing someone is awake and with you overnight, just in case.
Waking night care involves a professional carer staying awake all night to provide continuous support and assistance to those who need help during night time hours.
This type of care is ideal for older adults, those with chronic illnesses, or anyone requiring regular monitoring, medication administration, or assistance throughout the night. It can also suit those who feel anxious or restless at night.
Services can include help with toileting, managing medications, repositioning to prevent bedsores, monitoring vital signs, aiding with mobility, and offering companionship to ensure comfort and safety during the night.
In waking night care, the carer remains awake and alert all night to attend to any needs immediately. In contrast, sleeping night care involves the carer sleeping at night but being available if needed.
Of course! Our waking night care plans are tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of each individual, ensuring they receive personalised, compassionate support that enhances their quality of life.
You can arrange for waking night care at home easily by just getting in touch with Home Instead – we’ll answer any questions you may have and put together a plan that’s perfectly tailored just for you.
