Overnight Live-In Care
Specialised care for your loved one overnight.
Considering Overnight Live-In Care for Your Loved One?
As live-in care provided by a family member is often a 24/7 job, it often leaves little to no time for the carer to take care of themselves. This can render them tired and unable to best provide the specialised attention their loved one needs, especially overnight. We understand the toll this can take mentally and physically, which is why we created overnight live-in care. This way, everybody involved receives the help they deserve.
Overnight live-in care involves a care companion working overnight, as opposed to during the day. This is usually only required when a person’s health is such that they require ongoing support during the night, as well as during the day. This service means that the family carer can rest during the night, in the knowledge their loved one’s care is in safe hands, and the person requiring care can remain in their own home, where they likely feel their most comfortable.
With overnight live-in care, the carer can rest overnight so that they can have time to themselves and recharge for the following day. Knowing an experienced care companion is available overnight allows the person to feel more relaxed, get better sleep, and rest assured that their family is looking after themselves, too.
How Does Overnight Live-In Care Work?
Overnight live-in care includes any assistance you or your loved one may require overnight. We understand this can be a challenging time. You’re not alone— we know this scenario well, and can gently guide you through the process together.
We’ll talk through any and all of your requirements to ensure everybody is on the same page. The care included will typically differ between individuals, as it is a personalised service that is tailored to your needs. Depending on your circumstances and requirements, overnight live-in care generally includes overall monitoring, repositioning and turning in bed, administering medication and pain management, assistance with toileting and/or pad changes, and general companionship and compassion.
The Benefits of Overnight Live-In Care
The benefits of overnight live-in care are plentiful for both the person requiring care and their usual, or daytime, care companion. These benefits include:
Staying at home
Where the person feels most comfortable, surrounded by their personal items and comfort of any pets.
One on one care
Unlike at care homes, where one care companion could be supporting up to eight residents during the night.
Personalised plan
No need to conform to rigid schedules.
Carer relief
Allows the person’s usual carer to rest and recharge overnight.
Staying together
Enables couples to stay together as opposed to being split up as may be the case in a care home.
Medication management
Provides on-time medication during the night.

Frequently Asked
Questions About
Overnight Live-In Care
What is overnight live-in care?
Overnight live-in care involves a live-in care companion working overnight instead of during the day in the person’s home to provide assistance wherever it may be needed. With benevolence and understanding, we provide practical help and emotional support for the person requiring care and their family.
Who benefits from overnight live-in care?
Everybody involved in a person’s care can benefit from overnight live-in care. It can be a challenging time to realise overnight live-in care may be the best option, so the first step is to gently help everybody understand its benefits. While the person requiring care benefits from overnight assistance in any area they need while remaining in the comfort of their own home, their usual carer receives a much-needed break so they can rest and recharge.
How does overnight live-in care work?
The way overnight live-in care works varies between each person. Typically, this arrangement is a night-shift version of live-in care, the care companion will live in the customer’s home and work overnight, and sleep during the day, and provide assistance wherever it’s required, from medication to toileting to general companionship.
How is overnight live-in care different from domiciliary care?
While domiciliary care also allows the person requiring care to stay in their own home, this is much less flexible and may be composed of rigid visiting periods during the night or a waking night. Overnight live-in care offers an even more personalised approach, guaranteed continuity of care and the benefit of support throughout the whole night, and seeing the same person for the duration of the live-in assignment.
What does overnight live-in care include?
Overnight live-in care can include assistance with personal care medications, repositioning in bed, toileting and pad changes, general companionship, and anything else that may be required overnight – even playing a game or support reading a book.
