A Care Professional sleeps at your home overnight. This is a good option for those who don’t require much nightly supervision, but who would feel safer and more comfortable knowing there is someone sleeping nearby should they need help.
A Care Professional is awake and on duty in your home throughout the night. This is the best option for those who require more support or assistance during the night, such as with administering medication, bathroom visits, repositioning, or other issues.
Having care at home overnight means that you or your loved one can feel safe and supported within their own home, no matter what time of day or night it is. Knowing there is someone nearby helps provide peace of mind during the nighttime hours, resulting in a better night’s sleep.
