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.
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.
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: Torbay council 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.
