Overnight Care

What is ‘Night Care’?

Night Care, also known as ‘overnight care’, is specially designed support for those who may require additional care throughout the night. Care for the elderly isn’t simply restricted to the day, after all, and sometimes having some peace of mind that there’s someone there to offer support and take care of your loved ones around the clock can be an incredible relief.

Overnight care for the elderly can assist them with anything and everything they might need in the early hours of the morning or in the middle of the night. Assistance moving around their home, support in going to the bathroom, helping them with medication and even caring for them as they get comfortable in bed often makes overnight care an essential part of a loved one’s life. Some of this care can be vital, especially if it’s been mandated by a doctor that frequent mobility is required or a specific sleeping position helps with after surgery.

Overnight care can also be incredibly important for those suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, as passive needs such as being reminded that their medication needs to be taken before bed or upon waking can make a significant difference to their quality of life. This can also be true for simply going to bed or getting up for a specific time, including making trips to the doctors or visits from family members, just in case the likes of dementia makes them forget these things.

Types of Night Care

There are two main types of overnight care; Wake in Night Care and Sleep in Night Care. Both of these care services offers the same stellar services, including help using the bathroom and assistance with applying and taking medication, but they’re separated into two distinct times of the day.

Wake in Night Care sees one of our carers visit your loved one’s home during the night, ready to attend to any care matter and respond immediately. This care service is ideal for clients who are unable to tend for themselves throughout the night with matters like maintaining a comfortable position in bed, requiring pressure care monitoring, administering medication, keeping individuals safe during the night, and of course providing any reassurance that they may need. There’s also the milder side of the care service; whether they require special medicine, need a little help getting out of bed or simple need a little help remembering what they need to get done throughout the day, your loved ones can greatly benefit from Wake in Night Care.

Sleep in Night Care offers a lot of the same support services with one of our specially trained caregivers, just towards the end of the day and throughout the night. Sleep in Night Care is specifically tailored for those concerned about their loved one’s, or themselves, throughout the night. Anything from requiring assistance to access the bathroom tp suddenly requiring administration of medication is what Sleep in Night Care is designed to address.

No matter which kind of overnight care you or your loved ones may require our carers will be able to tend to your needs with care and diligence. Being a good companion is essential to all of our care services, so whoever requires overnight care can rest easy knowing that there’s a friendly face nearby whenever they need them.

Do I need overnight care?

You may require assistance in the way of overnight care if you find it difficult or challenging to accomplish day-to-day tasks within your own home, such as taking medication or maintaining hygiene levels. Our specially trained and highly compassionate caregivers can be right there should you need a little help with the likes of going to the bathroom or bathing, as well as anything else you may need late at night or first thing in the morning.

Overnight care may also be a perfect means of supporting you if you experience a cognitive illness such as dementia or Alzheimer’s, as these conditions may hamper your ability to remember essential parts of day-to-day life. Even if you don’t believe you require this level of support due to these conditions it’s always better to be safe than sorry, so having a friendly carer on hand to help out can be a tremendous source of relief and peace of mind; both for you and your loved ones.

This level of exceptional overnight care isn’t exclusively offered to the elderly, as those suffering from an illness may require the same kind of support. No matter how old you are it’s incredibly inconvenient and taxing to be bedbound, so should you be under the weather to the point where getting day-to-day tasks is too arduous overnight care can serve as an excellent means of getting through an illness. Our highly skilled and compassionate caregivers are always happy to take care of anyone afflicted with an illness, no matter how serious or severe it may be.
