This form of care is specially designed for the elderly, those living with dementia, individuals facing mobility challenges, or anyone in recovery from surgery.

Our comprehensive overnight care services, including sleeping night care, waking night care, and overnight respite, are carefully customised to meet the unique needs of each individual, highlighting our dedication to personalised care.
What do overnight carers do?
A Class Care provides overnight care to clients in their own homes, allowing them to remain in a familiar environment. Our overnight carers ensure the safety of those who might need extra help during the night. This service provides peace of mind to family members who are unable to be present. Our carers are trained to cover nights, and we work closely with our clients and their families to create a detailed, person-centred care plan that ensures the best possible care.
Types of Overnight Care
Live-in Carers:
Offering continuous, comprehensive care, our live-in carers ensure that your loved ones are well looked after in the familiar environment of their own homes. These dedicated professionals work in shifts, providing a seamless care experience that reflects our commitment to independence, dignity, and superior care day or night.
Night-time Carers:
Focused on providing care during the nighttime, these carers offer vital personal care and companionship during the most critical hours. Whether it’s a sleeping or waking service, they are specially trained to meet the unique nighttime needs of our clients.
Understanding Sleeping vs. Waking Overnight Care
Overnight care is available in two forms: sleeping overnight care and waking overnight care.
Sleeping night care is suitable for those who need occasional assistance during the night, and is where the carer is sleeping during the night, and available if your loved one wakes up unexpectedly during the night.
Waking night care provides active support throughout the night for those who require continuous care, especially those at risk of wandering or falling and it is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from dementia, who tend to get agitated and wander at night (known as sundowning). Waking carers arrive late evening and are awake usually from 10 pm to 7 am.
Choosing between sleeping and waking night care depends on the specific needs of your loved one.

Our team works with you to identify the best care solution for your loved one, emphasising the significant benefits such care can bring to both our clients and their families.
What are the benefits of Overnight Care?
The primary advantages of overnight care lie in its ability to ensure safety, prevent emergencies, promote restful sleep, and most importantly, provide peace of mind for both our clients and their families. It goes beyond mere assistance—it enriches lives through compassionate, personalised support that acknowledges each client's individual needs and preferences.
Here are the top 8 benefits of overnight care -
1. Reassurance and Security: Having a friendly and reassuring presence during the night can help individuals with dementia feel safe and secure, reducing feelings of disorientation and confusion.
2. Promoting Mobility and Independence: Helping your loved one get in and out of bed and turning over safely.
3. Immediate Assistance: Overnight carers can provide immediate assistance if individuals with dementia wake up during the night and become disoriented, ensuring their safety and well-being.
4. Assisting with Medications: Making sure that any medications are taken at the right times and keeping track, aiding better sleep.
5. Prevention of Falls: Night-time can be particularly challenging for individuals with dementia, increasing the risk of falls due to disorientation. Overnight care helps lower the likelihood of accidents by providing support when individuals are most unsteady on their feet.
6. Companionship: Having someone to talk to and offer support at night can be invaluable for individuals with dementia, offering comfort and reducing feelings of distress during the night.
7. Management of Confusion: Overnight carers can assist in managing confusing episodes that individuals with dementia may experience during the night, ensuring they receive appropriate support and care when needed.
8. Promotion of Healthy Sleep Patterns: By providing personalised care and assistance during the night, overnight care for people with dementia can help promote better sleep patterns, contributing to their overall physical and mental health.
