We can offer various options of flexible overnight care for our customers, including the following:

Sleeping Night
Where the night time carer sleeps at the property for a minimum of eight hours and will expect to get a reasonable night’s sleep but is on hand if required. This option will be best for you if you don’t require regular support but feel uncomfortable when left alone throughout the night. Anxieties that occur from being left alone throughout the night can soon be improved if you have a professional carer there to support you if needed. Sleep deprivation could worsen your condition, so having that extra night care at home can help you to remain healthy and happy. If the carer has to get up more than twice during the night, then it will be considered a waking night. Night care from Helping Hands is a flexible process and if you find that you or your loved one is waking more frequently throughout the night, your night time carer will adjust to your needs.

Waking Night
Waking night care is where the carer is on duty throughout the night for approximately ten hours, but this is flexible. This may be the best option for you if you or a loved one wakes several times throughout the night needing support, whether you wake up disorientated or due to pain caused by a medical condition. This option may also be the best support for you, if you wake at regular intervals during the night to change position due to injury, or if you have to administer medication at regular intervals throughout the night. Again, this night care plan can be adjusted according to your evolving requirements, if you are recovering from an injury and need less support, or if you require more support due to a progressive medical condition.

Sitting Service
We are also able to provide a sitting service. This is where a carer arrives at the property keeping the person requiring night care company for between 2 – 4 hours, allowing the regular carer/family member to take a break. This is a great option for customers who need reassurance.
