What is Sleeping Night Support?
Sleeping Night Support is a form of overnight care where a trained carer stays in the home throughout the night. They sleep in a designated room but are on-call to assist if needed — whether it’s helping with toileting, offering reassurance, or responding to disturbances.
This service is ideal for individuals who don’t need constant monitoring but benefit from the peace of mind that someone is nearby. It’s especially helpful for those who may be anxious at night, prone to falls, or recovering from illness, providing safety and reassurance for both clients and their families.

Sleeping Night Care FAQs
Everything you need to know to sleep soundly — with confidence and care nearby.
Service Overview
Q: What’s the difference between waking night and sleeping night care?
A: In Sleeping Night Support, the carer is allowed to sleep but is available if needed, typically responding once or twice during the night. Waking Night Support involves a carer staying awake and alert throughout the shift to provide constant supervision.
Q: How long is a typical night care shift?
A: Our standard night shift is 9 hours, usually from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. This can be adjusted based on your needs.
Suitability & Client Needs
Q: Who is Sleeping Night Support best suited for?
A: It’s ideal for clients who are largely independent during the night but may require occasional assistance — for example, help to the toilet or reassurance due to confusion or anxiety.
Q: Can it support individuals with dementia?
A: Yes. If night-time disruption is minimal, sleeping night care can offer both comfort and safety for clients with early-stage dementia.
Scheduling & Flexibility
Q: Can I book a carer for just a few nights a week?
A: Absolutely. We offer flexible scheduling — from one-off bookings to regular or rotational night care.
Q: How quickly can services start?
A: In many cases, we can arrange care to begin within 24–48 hours of your initial consultation and assessment.
Carer Expertise & Safety
Q: Are your overnight carers trained and vetted?
A: Yes. All our carers are fully trained, DBS-checked, and regularly supervised to ensure safe, high-quality care.
Q: What happens in an emergency during the night?
A: Carers are trained to handle emergencies and will follow your agreed care plan — including contacting family or emergency services if needed.
Pricing & Costs
Q: Is Sleeping Night Support more affordable than Waking Night Care?
A: Yes. Because the carer is sleeping and only on-call when needed, the cost is generally lower than waking night care.
Q: Do you offer custom quotes?
A: We do. Pricing is based on your specific needs and schedule — reach out for a free, no-obligation consultation.
