What is Overnight Care?
Overnight care at home is designed to provide essential support during the night in your home overnight.
It can be as simple as having someone on hand for reassurance or as active as delivering full personal care and assistance with mobility.
There are two main types of night-time care:
Waking night care
A waking night carer will stay awake throughout the night to provide hands-on assistance whenever needed. This is known as a waking night service and is ideal if your loved one wakes frequently or needs help with medication, toilet visits, or turning in bed.
Sleeping night care
A sleep-in carer or night sitter sleeps in your home but is available if assistance is required. This option, often referred to as sleeping nights, typically involves a carer staying for a minimum of eight hours, providing reassurance with only occasional waking assistance. This offers reassurance at a lower cost.
We also offer private overnight carers for those who prefer a one-to-one service
and can arrange tailored overnight care packages in the UK based on individual needs.
Who is Overnight Care For?
Our overnight carers support anyone who needs extra help or reassurance during the night, including:
- An elderly person who may benefit from overnight care, especially if they are anxious or wake frequently
- People with dementia who may become disoriented overnight and require specialized dementia care
- Individuals recovering from illness, injury, or hospital treatment
- Those with mobility issues needing regular turning or repositioning, or who require frequent assistance during the night
- Anyone who feels safer with a professional night-time carer present
For those with complex needs, two carers or a live in carer may be arranged to provide comprehensive support.

Benefits of Overnight Care
The benefit of overnight care is that it enhances well-being, safety, and independence for individuals and their families. Below, we explain these benefits in more detail:
Having a dedicated overnight caregiver offers:
- Peace of mind for families, knowing a loved one is safe through the night
- Reduced hospital admissions, as carers can respond to health concerns immediately
- Better rest and recovery for individuals who may feel anxious alone at night
- Personalised care in the comfort of home, avoiding the stress of residential care
- Offering support and extra support for those with complex care needs, ensuring safety and reassurance throughout the night
Overnight care can also include complex care and specialist care, especially for those living with degenerative conditions such as dementia or Alzheimer’s. This ensures individuals are fully supported at home, with carers able to provide more support as needed.
Whether you need short-term help, long-term support, or emergency overnight home care, Careline provides flexible care tailored to you.
Night Time Support
Night time can be a challenging period for those who require assistance, but with the right support in place, it’s possible to enjoy a restful and safe night. An overnight carer or a team of night time carers can make a huge difference by providing support throughout the night, ensuring that any needs are met promptly and compassionately.
Whether it’s help with mobility, reassurance after a bad dream, or assistance with personal care, a night carer is there to offer support during the night hours. For some, a sleeping night carer is the perfect solution—sleeping in the home and ready to help if needed, providing peace of mind for both the care recipient and their family. For others who require more frequent assistance, waking night care ensures a carer is awake and alert, ready to respond at any moment.
Night care is not just about practical help; it’s about creating a sense of security and comfort so that individuals can sleep soundly in their own home. With the presence of a dedicated overnight carer, those who might otherwise struggle with broken sleep patterns or anxiety can rest easier, knowing that support is available whenever it’s needed. This level of care is especially important for people who may be at risk of falls, require medication during the night, or simply need the reassurance that someone is there to help.
By choosing night time support with Careline Home Support, families can be confident that their loved ones are cared for throughout the night, allowing everyone to enjoy a better night’s sleep and a brighter start to the day.
