Every evening and morning routine is unique – from preferred bedtime rituals to morning cups of tea just the way our clients like them. Our Care Professionals take time to understand these important preferences, offering support with evening personal care, medication management, or simply providing reassuring companionship through wakeful periods. For those living with conditions like dementia or Parkinson’s, this consistency and understanding is particularly vital during night-time hours when the world can feel especially uncertain.
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. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of of a unique mix services to meet your needs.

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.
