Night Care, Waking Night & Sleep-over
Care at Home
Safe nights. Rested mornings.
Nights are when worries grow: falls on the way to the bathroom, medication in the small hours, confusion in the dark. Flexecare's night care puts a trained care staff member in the home overnight, so the person you love is safe, and everyone else can finally sleep.
Choose a waking night care staff member who stays awake and alert throughout, or a sleep-over care staff member who is on hand and wakes to help when needed.
What’s included
What this service covers
Whatever the night involves, there is a plan, and a person, for it.
- Waking night care, awake and alert all night
- Sleep-over care, on hand for occasional help
- Support to the bathroom and repositioning
- Night-time medication and pain relief prompts
- Reassurance during confusion or sundowning
- Early morning routine and breakfast support
- Clear notes for family and day care staff each morning
24-hour reassurance: with waking night and sleep-over options, you can feel safe and supported throughout the night, and so can the family carer down the hall.
Who it’s for
Who night care helps most
Night care suits people at risk of falls, those with conditions that disturb sleep, dementia, Parkinson's, MS, anyone on night-time medication or turning regimes, and people nearing the end of life who should never face the night alone.
It is also the classic pressure-release for exhausted family carers: pair occasional respite nights with day support, or step up to full live-in care when nights and days both need cover.
