Overnight care is generally categorised as either “sleeping nights” (or “sleep-in nights”) or “waking nights”. Sleeping nights means that a carer will sleep at the client’s home, but be available for any emergencies that might arise and to assist if necessary once or twice overnight with medication, trips to the toilet or similar. Waking nights means that the carer is awake and in attendance all night, so is able to provide more frequent care and attention such as continence support, medication, regular repositioning or emotional support. Night time carers will often also assist their clients in preparing for bed in the evenings, with personal care in the mornings, and by preparing breakfast.

Sleeping nights are often provided for clients who need the comfort of having another person in the house overnight. They can alleviate feelings of isolation, confusion and even fear experienced by some with dementia and other progressive conditions, allowing a client who might otherwise worry and wander to get a good night’s sleep. Waking nights are provided for clients who wake frequently during the night needing care and support, and are often requested by clients who have recently been discharged from hospital and need significant support whilst they complete their recovery at home. Whatever night time care you might require, we will provide a service which is carefully tailored to your needs and can be adjusted as those needs change.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

Paul, Client
As I got older, I realised that this service had made me happy in my own home.
Elisie, Client
Reg lived in Sherfield on Loddon and due to dementia was greatly troubled by hallucinations, causing him to wander, get angry and potentially put himself in danger at night. However when we provided an overnight carer to sleep in the spare room and be available to Reg if needed during the small hours, his wanderings stopped. As a result Reg slept much better and his hallucinations reduced, leaving him very much happier and more relaxed.
Sue had cancer and returned to her home in Kingsclere after her latest round of chemotherapy, needing overnight care due to continence problems. We provided a carer each night who would help Sue prepare for bed in the evenings and then remain nearby, ready to help her to the bathroom when needed. As well as the physical assistance the carer was able to provide, Sue was also greatly comforted by having a friendly voice to reassure her when she awoke distressed and confused during the night. The overnight carers helped Sue shower and dress in the mornings and prepared breakfast for her, and we provided two other visits during the day to help with her meals and managing her continence. Our overnight care for the elderly is carefully structured to meet the client's needs, whether for a sleep-in service or full overnight support via waking nights, every night or just a few nights each week. Our overnight carers are drawn from our normal workforce of Care Professionals who are trained and experienced in a wide range of client situations, and able to provide the empathetic support that will help your loved one have a more restful night.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
