Waking nights and sleeping nights
- Sleeping night: the carer sleeps in a spare room and can be woken, normally a time or two at most.
- Waking night: the carer is awake all night, for people who wander, need turning, toileting or medication overnight, or are very likely to fall.
Ask each agency for two written prices, sleeping and waking, and what it charges on weekends and bank holidays. Sleeping nights are usually charged at a flat rate; waking nights cost noticeably more because they are based on the hourly rate.
When families use overnight care
Common reasons are coming home from hospital, a run of night-time falls, dementia that disturbs sleep, end-of-life care, or simply giving a partner who cares during the day a few unbroken nights each week. Some families book one or two nights a week; others need every night.
Funding overnight care
- Council: Devon council assesses free; night-time needs found in the assessment can be met in the care plan.
- Attendance Allowance: the higher rate of £114.60 a week is for people over State Pension age who need help day and night, and savings do not matter.
