The Wigan Overnight Care team, here to help every step of the way
Overnight care can benefit anyone who requires professional support at night to remain independent at home, keeping older adults safe when they feel most vulnerable being alone. Our experienced Care Professionals work throughout Wigan in local communities like Standish, Pemberton and Ince-in-Makerfield, and tailor overnight care to fit the needs of older adults with specific requirements, such as dementia, which can cause confusion and disorientation at night.
If your loved one has important medical needs that make overnight care vital, or you worry about them being at home alone during the night and would feel more comfortable with a professional there, we can offer bespoke care to give you peace of mind when you can’t be there yourself.

Get in touch Why Overnight Care may be right for you
Your loved one may require overnight care if they are unwell, have dementia, are recovering from surgery, have mobility issues, or something else that causes the need for overnight assistance. There are two types of overnight care:
Sleep-In Service – A carer sleeps in the home overnight while your loved one sleeps. This is helpful if they do not need any particular nighttime care, but would like the comforting presence of someone to call on if ever they need it.
Waking Night Service – A carer stays in the home overnight, but remains awake. This is helpful if they wake frequently in the night, need help administering medication, need support reaching the bathroom or managing incontinence, or have a health condition that must be monitored.

Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!
Janet, Client's Family

A little message on behalf of me and all my family for the compassionate and amazing care that was provided to my grandad. Although you only cared for him for a short while before he passed, we are all truly thankful for the way my grandad was cared for. Thankyou again… all the carers who attended to him were true stars in our eyes.
Vicky, Client's Family

Please extend my thanks and gratitude to the Home Instead team who were so helpful this week when Mum was unexpectedly admitted to hospital- I was so impressed by the dedication and professionalism of everyone who helped me during my visit. I really felt that Mum was in excellent hands

Tailored Overnight Care in Wigan
Care needs at night are one of the reasons many older adults move into care homes, so arranging overnight care is an excellent way to help your older loved one remain independent and safe at home for longer. By doing so, they also remain a part of their local community, which can have positive impacts on their mental health.
Whether for a short period of time while recovering from an illness or injury, or as an ongoing overnight care arrangement, our friendly, dedicated Care Professionals from the Wigan area can become trusted, familiar faces for overnight care needs to promote better sleep, and ensure your loved one is well-rested enough to continue socialising and enjoying all Wigan has to offer.
