Reassurance Through the Night

Nights can be the loneliest and most worrying hours, for the person at home and for the family lying awake elsewhere. Our overnight carers bring calm, safety and a familiar presence, so everyone finally sleeps better.

When Nights Have Become the Hard Part

Overnight care may help when someone feels anxious or unsafe alone after dark, has fallen at night or wobbles on the way to the bathroom, is living with dementia and becomes unsettled in the evening, needs repositioning or personal care through the night or when a partner or family carer is being woken so often they are running on empty. Many families cope well with the days but dread the nights. This is the service that takes that dread away.

How we help

Two Kinds of Night, One Good Morning

Sleeping nights

Your carer sleeps at your home in a spare room and is on hand the moment help is needed, for reassurance, the bathroom or anything unexpected. Right when support is occasional.

Waking nights

Your carer stays awake and alert all night, providing regular checks, repositioning, personal care and calm company through wakeful hours. Right when support is frequent or predictable.
