Overnight Care in Tadley: Costs, Funding and 56 Local Agencies (Oct 2026)

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.

Expect to pay noticeably more for a waking night, which agencies price close to their hourly rate, than for a sleeping night, which is usually a flat fee. Request written prices for both, covering weekends and bank holidays.

Funding overnight care

Council: Hampshire 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.

Requesting an assessment from Hampshire council.

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.
