Which kind of night care?

The question is how often help is needed after dark. No more than a couple of times? A sleeping night, with the carer in bed in a spare room, ready to be woken, is usually enough. Wandering, turning, toileting, night-time medication or a high falls risk point to a waking night, where the carer stays awake until morning.

A sleeping night is normally a fixed fee. Waking nights are priced nearer the hourly rate and cost noticeably more. Get both figures in writing, with rates for weekends and bank holidays.

Why families book night care

Families often turn to night care after a hospital stay, when falls at night start to happen, when dementia breaks up sleep, at the end of life, or so that a partner who cares all day can sleep through a few nights a week. Some book a night or two each week; others book every night.

Who pays for overnight care?

Attendance Allowance at the higher rate (£114.60 a week) is not affected by savings and goes to people over State Pension age who need help both during the day and at night. The council can also include night care in a care plan when its assessment shows night-time needs; ask Buckinghamshire council, which must assess for free.
