Overnight care can benefit anyone who requires professional support at night to remain independent at home, keeping older adults safe when they feel most vulnerable being alone. Our experienced Care Professionals work throughout Wigan in local communities like Standish, Pemberton and Ince-in-Makerfield, and tailor overnight care to fit the needs of older adults with specific requirements, such as dementia, which can cause confusion and disorientation at night.
If your loved one has important medical needs that make overnight care vital, or you worry about them being at home alone during the night and would feel more comfortable with a professional there, we can offer bespoke care to give you peace of mind when you can’t be there yourself.

Your loved one may require overnight care if they are unwell, have dementia, are recovering from surgery, have mobility issues, or something else that causes the need for overnight assistance. There are two types of overnight care:
Sleep-In Service – A carer sleeps in the home overnight while your loved one sleeps. This is helpful if they do not need any particular nighttime care, but would like the comforting presence of someone to call on if ever they need it.
Waking Night Service – A carer stays in the home overnight, but remains awake. This is helpful if they wake frequently in the night, need help administering medication, need support reaching the bathroom or managing incontinence, or have a health condition that must be monitored.
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.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation
Assistance getting you from A to B, whether it be to go visit a friend or help with your shopping.
Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
Care needs at night are one of the reasons many older adults move into care homes, so arranging overnight care is an excellent way to help your older loved one remain independent and safe at home for longer. By doing so, they also remain a part of their local community, which can have positive impacts on their mental health.
Whether for a short period of time while recovering from an illness or injury, or as an ongoing overnight care arrangement, our friendly, dedicated Care Professionals from the Wigan area can become trusted, familiar faces for overnight care needs to promote better sleep, and ensure your loved one is well-rested enough to continue socialising and enjoying all Wigan has to offer.

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.
