Care does not clock on and off. For many requiring care, evenings and overnight are when support is needed the most.
If your care requirements or those of a loved one 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, nighttime care offers on-hand support when it’s needed most.
Type of Overnight Support
Sleeping Night Care
With sleeping night care, one of our carers stays in your home overnight. Your carer will sleep in a spare room but is available to be woken if you need help, whether that’s getting to the bathroom, repositioning in bed, or reassurance if you feel anxious or unwell.
This option is perfect if you or a loved one doesn’t need regular assistance through the night but wants the comfort of knowing someone is there.
Many of our clients report that simply having a trusted carer in the house helps them sleep better. A bed or suitable sleeping area will need to be provided for your carer.
Sleeping night care is often an excellent option for those at risk of falls, those who live alone and feel nervous at night, or people in the earlier stages of a condition such as dementia.
Waking Night Care
With waking night care, your carer remains awake throughout the night and ready to provide hands-on support whenever it is needed. This service is intended for those who require more frequent or intensive help.
Your waking night carer can assist with medication administration, continence and personal care, repositioning to prevent pressure sores, mobility support, and gentle reassurance for those who become confused or distressed overnight.
This level of care is especially beneficial for people living with advanced dementia, those recovering from surgery or a hospital stay, and anyone whose condition requires ongoing monitoring.
Our care team will work with you to understand what is needed and recommend the most suitable option.
