Our overnight care throughout South Norfolk and East Suffolk provides reassurance and support during the night hours. Whether that is a “sleeping night” where a Care Professional stays in your home and is available if needed, or a “waking night” with continuous active care. It is particularly valuable for those living with conditions like dementia that can cause nighttime confusion, or for anyone needing support following hospital discharge or personal care during the night. We learn your preferred bedtime routine, how you like your morning meal, and what helps you feel most comfortable and secure throughout the night.

What makes our overnight care special is the seamless support it provides from evening through to morning. Your Care Professional will help with evening routines like bathing and getting ready for bed, be present throughout the night, and then assist with morning activities like getting dressed and preparing breakfast. This continuity creates genuine security and comfort. For many families, knowing a trusted person is present throughout the night brings immense peace of mind, particularly when supporting loved ones with complex needs or those who experience anxiety when alone at night.
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.

Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
Overnight care might involve helping someone with limited mobility safely transfer to bed, ensuring medication is taken correctly before sleep, and remaining alert to any needs that arise during the night. For clients with dementia who experience sundowning, our Care Professionals provide calm reassurance during restless periods. For others recovering from hospital stays, it might include monitoring symptoms and providing practical support with temporary mobility challenges. We adapt our approach based on changing needs – perhaps initially providing intensive support that gradually reduces as recovery progresses, or adjusting as long-term conditions evolve.
