What is Waking Night Support?

Waking Night Support involves a dedicated care professional staying awake and alert throughout the night, ready to assist the client as needed — whether it’s help with toileting, medication, mobility, or reassurance.

This is different from sleep-in care, where a carer sleeps and is only woken when necessary. With waking night care, your carer is fully available all night.

At ICare Resource Limited, our flexible respite solutions are tailored to fit your routine and your loved one’s needs — with compassion, safety, and respect at the heart of everything we do.

What Does a Waking Night Carer Do?

Alert. Compassionate. Dependable — All Night Long.

Our night carers can assist with:

Toileting Support

Discreet help with bathroom needs during the night.

Medication Reminders

Prompts for any scheduled overnight medications.

Mobility Assistance

Help getting in/out of bed or moving safely.

Emotional Support

Reassurance for those who feel anxious or confused.

Safety Monitoring

Constant supervision to prevent falls or wandering.

Night Reports

Detailed notes for family or day staff handover.

Hygiene Care

Help with pads, clothing, or urgent personal care.

Fully Awake Care

Care workers remain alert all night (10 PM – 7 AM).

Whether it’s reassurance, mobility support, or safety monitoring, our waking night carers are here to ensure comfort and care through every hour of the night.

Who is Waking Night Care Suitable For?

Waking night care is ideal for:

  • Individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s who are active or disoriented at night
  • People with sleep disturbances or requiring frequent repositioning
  • Clients recovering post-surgery or undergoing palliative care
  • Individuals with seizures, diabetes, or fall risks
  • Families who need peace of mind that their loved one is safe through the night
  • No one should feel vulnerable or alone at night. Our waking night care offers the reassurance and safety your loved one needs — giving families peace of mind, and clients the comfort of knowing help is always nearby.

After Mum started waking up multiple times each night due to confusion and discomfort, ICare stepped in and provided a carer who was so calm, patient, and attentive. Their presence brought us peace of mind and allowed us to finally rest, knowing Mum was in safe hands. It truly changed everything for our family.

Client's Daughter
They supported my husband during his final months with such kindness, professionalism, and quiet reassurance. The waking night carers were respectful, gentle, and always alert, making those difficult nights more manageable for both of us. We are forever grateful for their compassionate care and all they did for my husband.

Waking Night Care FAQs

Everything You Need to Know About Night-Time Care.

Service Differences

Q: What’s the difference between waking night and sleeping night care?
A: Waking night carers stay awake the entire shift, while sleeping carers only wake if needed and may have limits on how often they can be disturbed.

Q: Is waking night care available for temporary needs only?
A: No — we offer both short-term (e.g. post-surgery) and ongoing waking night support, depending on your needs.

Q: How many hours is a typical waking night shift?
A: Usually between 9 to 10 hours, often 10 PM – 7 AM, but we’re flexible.

Q: Can I request specific times for the night care to start and end?
A: Yes — we work with you to match your preferred schedule and routines.

Q: Can I combine night support with daytime visits?
A: Absolutely. We offer blended day and night care plans tailored to your needs.

Q: Is waking night care suitable as part of a live-in care plan?
A: Yes — some clients require a waking night carer in addition to a live-in carer for round-the-clock attention.

Q: Are your waking night carers trained for emergencies?
A: Yes — all carers are trained in first aid, manual handling, and emergency response, including escalation protocols.

Q: Will I have the same carer each night?
A: We aim to provide continuity of care, assigning regular night staff where possible for client comfort and consistency.

Q: Is waking night care more expensive than sleeping night care?
A: Yes — since carers stay awake and alert throughout the shift, waking night care is priced slightly higher to reflect the level of support.

Q: Can I get help with funding for night care?
A: You may be eligible for funding through local authorities or personal budgets. We can guide you through the process.
