What is night care?

Night care is support provided during the night to help with safety, comfort, and routine. It can be helpful for people who wake frequently, feel anxious overnight, are at risk of falls, or need assistance with toileting or comfort through the night.

Our aim: A safe, calm night — with the right level of support and reassurance.

When night care can help

Night care may be suitable if someone:

  • Wakes regularly and needs reassurance or supervision
  • Is at risk of falls when moving at night
  • Needs help with toileting or personal comfort overnight
  • Is living with dementia and becomes unsettled at night
  • Has family carers who need rest and peace of mind
