WHAT IS OVERNIGHT CARE?
Overnight care pertains to the provision of home care assistance by healthcare professionals within your home, aimed at ensuring safety and comfort during night-time hours. This package of care is tailored for individuals requiring assistance with activities such as getting in and out of bed, toileting, personal hygiene, medication administration, mobility support, and those with specific health challenges. It offers a peace of mind to both individuals and their families while promoting independence.
There are mainly three different types of overnight care: waking night care (where a healthcare professional remains awake throughout the night), sleeping night care (where a healthcare professional sleeps at your home but is available to provide assistance as needed) and sitting night care (a temporary arrangement in which healthcare professionals stay awake during the night to cover for a full-time caregiver on their break).
