At Carewatch, we provide reliable Waking Nights care for individuals who require extra reassurance during the night time, and to allow loved ones to take a well needed break.
We understand that sometimes everyone needs a break. This benefits both you and your family.
Our Highly trained Care Assistants would be with you from 10pm until 7am, attending to any needs you or your loved ones may have. This can include, drinks, changing catheters, changing pads, repositioning to ensure comfort, and also providing reassurance for the family.
Our Waking Nights care services are designed to provide temporary and long-term relief to primary caregivers.
Why Choose Waking Nights
Familiar and Comfortable Environment
Receiving waking nights care at home means the person being cared for can stay in familiar surroundings with their own routines, belongings, and comforts. This reduces anxiety and confusion, especially for individuals with dementia or complex needs.
Personalised, One-to-One Support
Unlike in care homes where staff care for multiple residents, home-based relief care provides undivided attention. Carers focus solely on the individual’s needs and preferences, delivering more tailored and responsive care.
Minimises Disruption to Daily Life
Waking Nights care at home maintains normal routines such as sleep, meals, activities, and medication schedules. This stability is particularly beneficial for individuals who may find change unsettling or stressful.
Supports Family Well-being Without Guilt
Family caregivers can take time to rest or attend to other responsibilities, knowing their loved one is safe, happy, and receiving quality care at home. This reduces burnout and provides peace of mind without the emotional strain of a care home stay.
Flexible and Scalable Support
Home relief care can be arranged for just a few hours, overnight stays, or several days—offering flexibility to suit each family’s needs. It’s ideal for both planned breaks and emergencies.
Encourages Trust and Continuity of Care
Using Waking Nights care at home helps build familiarity with professional carers, making future care transitions smoother if longer-term support is needed. It also promotes trust and confidence for both the individual and their family.
