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 waking night care will be there whenever you may need them during the night, for everything from a simple hand to the bathroom to helping with medication management, complex care needs, or just being around to help you to orient yourself so you can get back to sleep faster.
As well as the reassurance of knowing that someone will be there and on hand whenever you might need it, waking night care ensures that those specific health challenges are never without the immediate support they need.
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.
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.
Waking night care means having a dedicated Care Professional stay awake and with you through the night, ready to assist with any needs you might have. A friendly and caring professional will be by your side all night long, offering personal care and companionship whenever you need it most. No matter what your specific requirements are, your carer will be there to support and help you maintain your independence and confidence from late at night to the early hours of the morning.
This type of care is perfect for anyone who regularly needs extra assistance during the night, requires 24-hour care, or just feels more anxious in the early hours when alone at home.

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.
