Overnight Care

As older adults age, they often feel uneasy without the presence of other family members during the nighttime hours. This can lead to heightened anxiety and stress. At Visiting Angels, our in-home overnight care services ensure that seniors are receiving the care and attention they need throughout the night, giving them and their family peace of mind. With a caregiver dedicated to being present during the night, seniors can feel secure, knowing help is always nearby.

Who Would Benefit From Awake Overnight Care?

Overnight care brings comfort and security to both seniors and they families, helping everyone enjoy a restful night's sleep. These services are ideal for seniors who have a range of care needs, such as:

• Post-hospital recovery: Extra support during the recovery process after a hospital or rehab stay.
• Personal care needs: Assistance with trips to the bathroom and help with other personal care tasks over night.
• Medication reminders: Ensuring medications are taken on schedule, even during the night.
• Sleep disturbances. Companionship and reassurance for those dealing with insomnia or nighttime anxiety.
• Fall prevention: Reducing the risk of overnight falls through mobility assistance and monitoring. 
• Cognitive challenges. Supervision, redirection and support for individuals with Alzheimer's or dementia. 
• Mobility limitations: Help for those who require mobility assistance, including wheelchair-bound individuals.

What Does An Overnight Caregiver Do?

Overnight caregivers provide much needed support to aging loved ones, providing peace of mind and ensuring their safety throughout the night. Unlike daytime care, our caregivers are specially trained to meet the unique challenges that arise during the nighttime hours. Some of the key tasks they may assist with include:

• Mobility and toileting assistance
• Medication reminders
• Light housekeeping that won't interfere with the client's sleep
• Prevention and gentle redirection for those who may wander
• Preparing meals for the following day
• Immediate assistance in the event of an emergency
