Overnight Care in Enfield: Costs, Funding and 116 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.

Locally, expect about £190–£230 for a sleeping night and £240–£320 for a waking night.

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: the London Borough of Enfield 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.
