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

Can we try one or two nights a week first?

Yes. Many families start that way, so the family carer gets some unbroken sleep.

How do we know if we need overnight care?

Common signs are frequent calls in the night, falls, wandering, or a family carer who is exhausted. The GP or a council assessment can help you decide.

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.
