Overnight care offers clients and their families peace of mind, knowing that support is available when it’s needed most. At Home Instead Folkestone, Hythe, and Ashford, our overnight care is tailored to each client’s needs, from getting ready for bed to morning routines. We provide both “waking nights,” where a Care Professional is awake and available throughout the night, and “sleeping nights,” where they are on hand should help be needed. This flexibility means clients are supported with dignity and comfort while remaining in their own home.

Our Care Professionals are trained in a variety of specialist skills, including moving and handling, hoist use, medication management, and support for complex conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s, cancer, and catheter care. This training allows us to cater to each client’s unique needs, whether it’s assisting with mobility, preparing medications, or managing night-time routines. We know that each client’s situation is different, and we’re fully equipped to provide the specific care they require, personalised to their preferences and medical needs.
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home.

The night-time routine is an essential part of our overnight care at Home Instead Folkestone. Our Care Professionals assist clients with getting ready for bed, ensuring they’re comfortable and settled for the night. In the morning, we’re there to help with washing, dressing, and preparing a nutritious breakfast to start the day well. For one local family, when a health crisis arose, our team acted quickly. As they shared: “Within 24 hours, they had set up all the help I needed, including overnight waking care. It was all up and running before the OT, physio, etc., visited 3 days later. Amazing service.”

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.
Enable your loved ones to continue to live their life with the support of the Folkestone, Hythe & Ashford team. If you would like more information about our high quality Overnight Care service, please call us on 01303 847899, or fill out the form below.
