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

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.

Typical local prices: a sleeping night costs £190–£230 and a waking night £240–£320.

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 the London Borough of Harrow, which must assess for free.
