The Wakefield Overnight Care team, here to help every step of the way
Our overnight care in Wakefield provides peace of mind through the night hours, with a trusted Care Professional staying in your loved one’s home to offer support whenever it’s needed. This might be sleeping night care – where someone’s there if required – or waking night support for those who need regular assistance through the night with personal care, mobility, medication or simply reassurance. Families across Wakefield and the wider areas of Crofton and Outwood often come to us for overnight care after a hospital discharge when confidence has taken a knock, or when conditions like dementia mean your loved one wakes confused during the night.

Why Overnight Care may be right for you
Overnight care gets tailored to each person’s patterns and needs. Some clients need repositioning regularly through the night for comfort and pressure care, others require help getting to the bathroom safely, and some simply feel more secure knowing someone’s there. Our Care Professionals learn your loved one’s night-time routine – how they like their pillows arranged, whether they prefer a nightlight, what time they usually wake – so everything feels familiar and calming rather than clinical. Anna S praised on homecare.co.uk how quickly our team responded when her uncle needed care at short notice after leaving hospital, with “care in place for the next morning” and describing the service since as “faultless.” That responsiveness matters enormously with overnight care, where needs can change suddenly.
What we do to care for your loved ones
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 a unique mix of 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.
The service offered is caring compassionate and flexible. The needs of clients are always a primary consideration. A regular inspection of services informs ongoing improvements in delivery.

The lovely carers at Home Instead have been visiting our Mum since 2019. They have called in twice a day to provide help, companionship and prepare breakfast/lunch for our Mum. Thank you to the team for their professionalism, kindness and support during this time. Excellent job!HL- Daughter of a client
In a challenging environment, the care provided is exactly what we need and my father is really appreciating the relationship he has developed with the care team. There is also a degree of flexibility in the service offered which is very much appreciated.SW- Son of a client
Tailored Overnight Care in Wakefield
Families tell us how much it means to finally get proper rest themselves, knowing their loved one is safe through the night. L M, a lone carer, explained on homecare.co.uk how Home Instead “has given me my life back, as much as possible” and valued that “recently, in an emergency, they provided 3 hours of unscheduled care with 2 hours notice.” Joy W described how carers “will do anything else required” and appreciated being able to “be away knowing my dad is in the best hands giving me peace of mind that he’s okay while I’m not there.” That combination of reliability, flexibility and genuine care helps exhausted family members finally get the sleep they desperately need.

Our services include companionship care, personal care, specialist care (including dementia, palliative, and Parkinson’s), and live-in care.
What is a sleep-in service?
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.
What is a waking night service?
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.
Why choose overnight care at home?
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.
