Overnight Care for Peace of Mind
Whether you need a carer who stays awake through the night or one who sleeps on-site to assist as needed, we’re here to ensure continuous care and support.
Waking and Sleeping Nights Care: Overnight Support for Peace of Mind
At LSR Care, we understand the importance of overnight support for your loved ones. That’s why we offer both Waking Night Care and Sleeping Night Care services, ensuring the appropriate level of care and attention is provided based on individual needs.
Waking Night Care At LSR Care
Our Waking Night Care service provides continuous, awake support throughout the night. A dedicated carer remains alert and available to assist individuals who require constant supervision to ensure their safety and well-being.
This service is ideal for those who:
- Require regular or constant assistance during the night
- Are at risk if left alone due to health or safety concerns
The Waking Night Care carer can assist with various tasks, including:
- Personal care (e.g., evening and morning hygiene)
- Toileting assistance
- Repositioning for individuals who are bed-bound
- Medication administration
- Regular monitoring (e.g., hourly checks or as required)
With our Waking Night Care, the carer stays awake to monitor and assist the individual, ensuring their safety and providing immediate support if needed. This service minimizes the risk of accidents or emergencies, offering peace of mind for both the individual and their family.
Sleeping Night Care
For those who don’t require constant attention but still feel more comfortable with someone nearby during the night, our Sleeping Night Care provides a flexible option. The carer stays within the home overnight, ensuring help is available if necessary while getting rest themselves.
Our Sleeping Night Care is ideal for individuals who:
- Do not need regular support but appreciate the reassurance of having someone nearby
- Have concerns about sleep deprivation or experience nighttime anxiety
While the carer sleeps for a minimum of 8 hours, they remain on-call and ready to respond to any needs, including:
- Monitoring call alarms or bed safety fall pads
- Responding to any requests for assistance during the night
Our Sleeping Night Care offers peace of mind, ensuring your loved one is supported and safe, while also allowing both them and you to enjoy a more restful night’s sleep.
