Overnight Care

What is Overnight care

Overnight care is when a carer stays overnight to assist with any care needs you may have. With overnight care, a private carer will stay with you throughout the night to provide personal care and companionship when you need it most. Whatever your personal needs, your carer will be able to support and assist you so that you’re able to maintain your independence and confidence at all hours.

Overnight care is specifically for those who have additional needs throughout the night, require 24-hour care, or become more anxious during the early hours when alone.

We offer the following types of overnight care:

Sleeping night

With sleeping night care, your Care Fairies carer sleeps in your home throughout the night but is on hand if you need support at any time.

Waking night

A waking night carer means your carer will stay awake throughout the night to provide specialist care whenever you require it.
