What is overnight care?
For many people, their care needs continue into the night, particularly for those that live with a complex condition. Overnight home care allows clients to receive the support they need whilst being able to remain safe and cared for in their own home.
Trinity Homecare’s overnight home care assistance is tailored to the client’s personal needs, whether they require extra support at home before bed or during the night. A TrinityCarer will visit and stay in your home throughout the night to ensure that you have access to any assistance that may be needed to sleep restfully.
What are the different types of overnight care?
Whilst you sleep your overnight carer can stay awake throughout the night to ensure they are always available to offer regular support. Alternatively, carers can sleep whilst you sleep, in which case, they would require access to their own bed and then be on call at any time you require assistance.
Sleeping Nights
Also known as asleep care, sleeping nights are where a carer will arrive in the evening to then go to sleep in a room provided – they are purely there to provide reassurance and should not be regularly disturbed at night.
Waking Nights
Also known as awake care, waking nights are where a carer will arrive in the evening, staying awake all night to support the client as many times as they need.
Whether you are looking for overnight home care for yourself or a loved one, Trinity Homecare delivers a care service which is tailored to your individual needs. Our TrinityCarers work with you to ensure that you are able to sleep safely and comfortably at home whilst providing any care that you require during the night time.
What support can you receive from overnight home care?
Overnight home care services are available to provide as much support throughout the night as a person may require. Some clients may only need overnight care assistance to step in for when a person’s family member has to go away. Other individuals may require overnight care every night, particularly if they live on their own to ensure they can retain their routine and wellbeing at all times.

Overnight home care supports the clients directly receiving our assistance along with close friends and family that may not be able to visit often. Ensuring that your loved one is being cared for even through the night can bring much peace of mind for the family. Knowing that they are able to live happily and safely at home, even whilst they sleep.
Overnight care for the elderly FAQs
With out night shifts for either service typically spanning 10pm – 7am, overnight care is an affordable live-in care option for you or your loved one with sleeping night starting from £21 p/h (£189.00 per night) and waking nights from £23 p/h (£216.00 per night).
We will always complete a full home care assessment in person before crafting a bespoke care plan. This can take up to 1-2 weeks but can be completed before then depending on the circumstance. Understandably there are fewer carers that work unsociable hours and support clients that need care overnight thus arranging overnight care takes longer than care in the daytime due to limited carer availability.
Sleeping Nights carers will need a bedroom as they will be asleep during the night.
Waking Nights carers will not need a bedroom as they will be awake during the night.
