Care through the night

Sleeps / waking nights

A sleep or waking night is for when people need some company or help throughout the long night time hours. This can either be :

Sleep night

where the carer sleeps at the property for a minimum of eight hours and will expect to get a reasonable night's sleep but is on hand if required. If the carer has to get up more than twice during the night, then it will be considered a waking night.

Waking night

Where the carer is on duty throughout the night for approximately ten hours, but this is flexible.

Sitting Service

We are also able to provide a sitting service. This where a carer arrives at the property keeping the person requiring care company for between 2 - 4 hours, allowing the regular carer/family member to take a break.
