Overnight Support
Care does not clock on and off. For many requiring care, the evening and overnight is when support is needed the most.
If your care requirements have led you to consider nursing homes or assisted living facilities, there may be another avenue and Alcester Home Care can help – we provide overnight support. This enables you to remain independent, avoiding the routines and restrictions which can come with a care home.
Having a care worker available through the night provides the reassurance you need to get a good night’s sleep. An overnight carer can assist with mobility within the home, such as climbing stairs, changing clothes and getting into bed.
Many people suffer with anxiety about being left alone, or falling in the night – this can be alleviated by the presence of a night carer. For those living with progressive conditions such as dementia, night time care offers on-hand support when it’s needed most.
