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.
Ask each agency for two written prices, sleeping and waking, and what it charges on weekends and bank holidays. Sleeping nights are usually charged at a flat rate; waking nights cost noticeably more because they are based on the hourly rate.
Common reasons for overnight care
- Returning home after a hospital stay
- Repeated falls during the night
- Dementia that disrupts sleep
- Care at the end of life
- A daytime carer, often a partner, needing unbroken sleep
Bookings range from one or two nights a week to every night.
