Two kinds of overnight care
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 sleeping night is normally a fixed fee. Waking nights are priced nearer the hourly rate and cost noticeably more. Get both figures in writing, with rates for weekends and bank holidays.
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.
Paying for night care
If the care needs assessment identifies needs at night, night care can go into the council care plan, and Telford and Wrekin council must carry out that assessment for free. Separately, Attendance Allowance pays its higher rate, £114.60 a week, to people over State Pension age needing help by day and by night, regardless of savings.
