Overnight Care in Hillingdon: Costs, Funding and 83 Local Agencies (Oct 2026)

A sleeping night means the carer sleeps in the spare room and is woken only when needed, typically once or twice at most. A waking night means they stay up all night, the right choice for someone who wanders, needs turning, help to the toilet or medicines in the night, or has a high risk of falling.

A waking night typically costs £240–£320 here, and a sleeping night £190–£230.

Who uses overnight care

Some need it every night; others book one or two nights a week. The usual triggers are a discharge from hospital, falls at night, dementia that unsettles sleep, end-of-life care, and a husband, wife or partner who provides care by day and needs a few full nights' rest.
