Overnight Care in Beeston: Costs, Funding and 225 Local Agencies (Oct 2026)

Sleeping night or waking night?

On a sleeping night the carer goes to bed in a spare room and can be woken if needed, usually no more than once or twice a night. On a waking night the carer stays awake throughout, which suits people who wander, need turning, toileting or medication during the night, or who are at high risk of falls.

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.

Help paying for it

Night care can be part of a council care plan if the assessment finds night-time needs. Nottinghamshire council must offer the assessment free. Attendance Allowance is paid at the higher rate of £114.60 a week to people over State Pension age who need help both day and night, whatever their savings. How to ask Nottinghamshire council for an assessment.
