OVERNIGHT CARE

Overnight care is when a caregiver is able to be there a few hours before your loved one goes to bed. The caregiver will sleepover and is available a few times during the night, in case your loved one needs help. They are also there for a few hours when they wake up.

This ensures that your loved one has the care they need during the nighttime sleeping process. If your loved one does not need care during the day, but you prefer that a caregiver be there for them at night, overnight care may be the right fit for your needs.

Overnight care is about knowing someone is there to help if a loved one needs fluids, snacks, or help using the restroom. It’s perfect for people who have trouble sleeping through the night or tend to wake up disoriented.

With overnight care, a caregiver comes by the house to provide a few hours of care before bed and in the morning. In addition to providing homemaking and companionship services, overnight caregivers can provide a number of personal care services, including:

• Bathing
• Skin care and make-up
• Continence care
• Dressing and grooming
• Personal hygiene
• Restroom assistance
• Active range-of-motion assistance
• Transfer and ambulatory assistance
• Accompaniment
• Medication reminders
