Overnight Care in East Lothian

In East Lothian we understand that it is important for you to know that you or your loved one feels safe and well supported at home during the night. Our experienced and dedicated Care professionals are available to provide care and support overnight. Our overnight care provides as much or as little support as you need throughout the night, typically from 10pm to 8am, or flexible to suit your needs. We offer two types of overnight care: sleeping nights, where your care professional rests in a nearby room but is available whenever you need assistance. Waking nights where your carer stays awake to offer regular support all through the night and support is very much on hand as it is needed.
