About overnight care
What it usually involves
A carer in the home overnight. With a sleep-in, they sleep there and help if needed. With a waking night, they stay awake the whole time.
How a self-employed carer can help
Help with the toilet in the night, reassurance after a bad dream, and someone there if your loved one wanders or falls. For the family, it often means the first proper night's sleep in a long time.
Questions worth asking
- Do you offer sleep-ins, waking nights or both?
- How do you charge if you're woken several times?
- What do you need: a bed, a room, somewhere to make a drink?
- Are you happy to be around pets?

Questions families ask
Does the carer need their own room?
For a sleep-in, a bed in a private room is usual. For a waking night, a comfortable chair and somewhere to make a drink.
What's the difference between a sleep-in and a waking night?
With a sleep-in, the carer goes to bed and gets up only if needed. With a waking night, they stay awake and alert all night. Sleep-ins usually cost less.
Is it free for families?
Yes, completely. We never take a cut of what you pay a carer or cleaner.

Why I started Carers & Cleaners
When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
