Night-time can be the most challenging time for families caring for a loved one at home. Whether your family member is unsettled, at risk of falls, or simply needs reassurance through the night, our overnight support service provides the cover you need.
Our overnight carers are experienced, calm, and trained to respond to a wide range of needs — from routine night-time care to more complex situations.
Overnight support includes
- Settling assistance at bedtime
- Night-time repositioning to prevent pressure sores
- Toileting and continence support
- Fall prevention and response
- Medication administration where required
- Monitoring and reassurance for those with dementia or anxiety
- Sleep-in or waking night options depending on need
Overnight support also gives family members the peace of mind to sleep knowing their loved one is not alone. We can arrange overnight care as a standalone service or as part of a wider care package.

Our standard overnight shift runs from approximately 10pm to 7am, though we can adjust to fit your loved one's evening and morning routines. Longer overlapping cover can be arranged if you also have daytime care.

Our carers are trained in first aid and know how to respond calmly in an emergency. They will call 999 where appropriate, contact the family, and stay with your loved one until help arrives.
