Overnight Care: Awake and Sleeping Nights

A good night's rest is essential for health and well-being, but sometimes extra support is needed during the night. Whether you or your loved one require reassurance, assistance with mobility, or help with medical needs, our overnight care services provide peace of mind that someone is always there when needed.

​

Overnight care provides continuous support throughout the night, ensuring safety, assistance, and peace of mind while the individual sleeps. This is ideal for those with conditions requiring nighttime supervision, such as epilepsy, dementia, or mobility challenges. This is different to respite care because respite care is temporary support designed to give family carers a break, whether for a few hours, days, or weeks. It allows loved ones to rest and recharge, knowing their relative is in safe hands. Overnight care gives families peace of mind, ensuring their loved one is safe and supported while they rest, reducing stress and preventing caregiver exhaustion.

​

At The Care Collective, we are committed to upholding our values in everything we do, ensuring that our care is delivered with integrity, dedication, and a genuine focus on well-being of those we support

 

Here's how our values come into Overnight Care.

​​

• ​COMPASSIONATE AND PERSONALISED CARE:Whether you need constant attention or occasional support through the night, we tailor our care to your needs.

• ​INDEPENDENCE, DIGNITY, AND SECURITY:Night-time can bring added worries, but our presence ensures you always feel safe and respected in your home.

• ​EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS:We provide discreet, professional overnight care, whether staying alert throughout the night or offering gentle reassurance as needed.

• ​FAMILY VALUES:Our carers offer more than just supervision - they provide warmth and understanding, ensuring you or your loved one never feel alone.

• ​WHOLE PERSON CARE:Rest is essential for well-being. We create a calm, comforting environment that promotes relaxation and emotional security.

• ​LEADING CARE SERVICE PROVIDER:Our trusted overnight care services provide invaluable peace of mind for both clients and their families.

​

At The Care Collective, we offer two types of night care to suit different needs:

​

SLEEPING NIGHT CARE

For those who are mostly independent but would feel more comfortable knowing someone is there just in case, our sleeping night carers stay in the home overnight. They'll be ready to help if needed, whether that's assistance using the toilet, adjusting sleeping positions, or simply providing reassurance.

A sleeping night carer stays in the home overnight, available to assist if needed. This service is ideal for those who:

✔ Are mostly independent but feel reassured having someone there just in case
✔ Occasionally need help using the toilet or changing position in bed

✔ Live alone and would benefit from knowing a trained carer is close by

Our carer will sleep in a designated room and can be woken when assistance is required. If frequent support is needed throughout the night, our awake night care may be more suitable.

​

AWAKE NIGHT CARE

If regular or continuous support is needed throughout the night, our awake night carers stay alert and on hand to assist. Whether it's help with medication, repositioning, or simply being there to ease restlessness, our carers provide the care and comfort needed to get through the night.

For those who need regular or continuous support during the night, an awake night carer stays alert and on hand to assist. This service is ideal for those who:

✔ Wake frequently and need help moving or repositioning
✔ Require medication or medical support at set times during the night

✔ Experience confusion, restlessness, or distress (e.g., dementia-related needs)

✔ Have a condition that requires constant supervision, such as epilepsy or respiratory concerns

✔ Need assistance with complex care needs, such as using a hoist or other mobility aids

Our awake night carers provide attentive and compassionate support to ensure comfort, safety, and reassurance throughout the night. 

​
