Extra help during the night
Although both our standard live-in care and advanced live-in care options allow for some degree of night-time support, our dedicated nightly support care option is for those who primarily need care during the night, rather than during the day.
The carer lives in the property and is on hand during the night to assist with any requirements. This might range from toileting assistance to simply providing the reassurance that someone is awake, alert, and making certain that you’re sleeping safe, sound, and secure, providing the ultimate peace of mind.
We are mindful of the impact that a waking service will have on our carers’ daytime support. Therefore the carer wouldn’t then also be expected to cover daytime care duties as well. We would typically recommend an additional carer for this if required.
Experienced and Trusted
Waking Nights
Our Night Support or Waking Nights care means that a carer will remain awake throughout the night to provide care, usually with night time agitation and toileting. This is often paired with a daytime live-in care and support and allows the daytime carer to rest while the night-time care is covered by another carer.
Sleeping Nights
The daytime live-in carer who will provide compassionate and expert care during the daytime can be on hand in the night time to provide help if necessary. This is usually only if you only occasionally need care during the night, as a ‘waking fee’ can be charged by the carer. We recommend that this should cover a period of 8 hours, such as 11pm–7am, depending on your daily routine.
Should multiple waking episodes occur, we recommend additional time off during the day for the carer, or an additional Waking Nights carer.
When matching client’s to potential carers, we consider:
- Your care needs, do you need someone with more experience in manual handling for example
- Location, where possible, we will always send you a carer local to you
- Interests, do you both love cooking, gardening, and pets?
- Other requirements, such as do you have a busy social calendar and need someone who can get you to your appointments on time?
- We pay attention to the smallest of details because often, these will make the biggest difference.
