Overnight home care
Are you worried about being alone at night? Our overnight home care service guarantees support for you or your loved one when other carers can’t be there. Like all our services, it’s 100% tailored to your requirements. As a Novus Care client, you get a bespoke care plan that focuses on the support you need and what you want to achieve. It’s all about making sure you can stay independent and comfortable in the home you love – 24/7.
We provide flexible overnight care at home from 10pm to 7am. We can also offer specialised overnight care for the elderly, for people with dementia and for a variety of physical and mental health conditions. All our carers take part in regular refresher sessions and are trained in manual handling techniques to help keep you safe and mobile at night.
What is overnight care?
Overnight care is when a carer stays overnight to make sure you have a helping hand if you need it. It’s sometimes known as night care or nighttime care.
At Novus Care, we focus on providing overnight care at home between 10pm and 7pm. This means extra reassurance for you and your family. With an overnight caregiver by your side, you can sleep soundly in your own bed, safe in the knowledge that help is only moments away.
What can overnight carers help with?
We know that everyone’s needs are different. That’s why our overnight carers are trained to help with a variety of health care and support needs. That includes:
• Toileting
• Administering medication
• Helping you get in and out of bed
• Helping you move positions in bed (helpful if you have reduced mobility or are recovering from surgery or an illness)
• Helping you get around without tripping or falling
• Personal care, including dressing and undressing for bed
• Specialised support for people with dementia, who may feel confused about their surroundings or be unaware of the time
• Providing companionship and reassurance
Overnight home care services from Novus Care
Sleeping night care
Choose sleeping night care and an expert carer will sleep in your home between 10pm and 7pm. If you need support, your sleep-in carer will be happy to get out of bed to assist you. This option is best for those who might need help once or twice at night and want the reassurance that someone’s there to provide it.
Waking night care
Need someone around who’s ready to help at a moment’s notice? With this option, a waking night carer visits your home between 10pm and 7am but doesn’t go to sleep. Waking night care might suit you if you need specialised care throughout the night or want extra peace of mind in case there’s an emergency.
Overnight respite care
Do you have a regular carer who needs a break or wants to take night times off? Our overnight respite care service can help. We’ll send a highly trained carer to cover these breaks so you have the 24/7 support you need. This might be for a few nights, a few weeks or even just a few hours if you need emergency cover.
What are the benefits of overnight care at home?
• It’s ideal for caregivers who provide support during the day but can’t be there at night.
• It offers peace of mind for families, as they know their loved one has professional care and support during the night.
• It means someone is always there in case of an emergency.
• It provides reassurance for loved ones who feel anxious and lonely during the night.
• Knowing someone is there helps us get a good night’s sleep – essential for our mental health and well-being.
