Safe, Reassuring Care Through the Night
Night-time can be the most vulnerable time for individuals living at home with care needs — and the most anxious for their families. Our CQC-registered overnight care service provides a skilled, calm presence through the night, so that everyone rests with genuine peace of mind.
About This Service
What Is Overnight Home Care?
Overnight home care is a service in which a trained carer stays in the home from the evening through to the morning — providing either a sleeping presence that can be called upon if needed, or a fully awake and active night-time support role. It is designed for individuals whose needs, risks, or circumstances mean that being alone at night is not safe, appropriate, or comfortable.
For many families, overnight care is the critical missing piece. Daytime support is manageable — but the nights bring falls, confusion, incontinence, medication needs, and anxiety that family members cannot always be present to manage. An overnight carer removes that risk and replaces it with skilled, reliable presence.
At Premier23 Care Services, we offer two distinct overnight care options — sleeping nights and waking nights — and we work with each individual and their family to determine which is most appropriate. Both are delivered by trained, vetted professionals who understand that night-time care requires a particular kind of patience, attentiveness, and calm.
“Night-time should be restful — for the person receiving care and for their family. That is exactly what we are here to provide.”
Our Night-Time Options
Sleeping Nights or Waking Nights — Which Is Right?
The right type of overnight care depends on the individual’s specific needs, the nature of any night-time risks, and how frequently assistance is required through the night. We assess this carefully with every client.
Sleeping Night Care
A sleeping night carer stays in the home overnight in a designated room and is available to assist if needed — but is not expected to be awake throughout the night unless called upon. This is the most appropriate option for individuals who are generally settled at night but benefit from having skilled help close at hand.
Ideal For
- Individuals who sleep through the night but may occasionally need assistance
- Those at risk of falls or disorientation if they wake
- People with incontinence needs that arise infrequently overnight
- Family carers who need to sleep knowing help is present
- Those post-surgery or post-discharge who need reassurance nearby
Sleeping night rates are typically lower than waking night rates, reflecting the different level of active engagement required.
Waking Night Care
A waking night carer remains fully awake and active throughout the night — providing continuous monitoring, regular checks, and hands-on assistance as required. This is appropriate for individuals whose condition means they need frequent or unpredictable night-time support.
Ideal For
- People with dementia who experience night-time confusion or wandering
- Individuals with complex medical or nursing needs overnight
- Those requiring repositioning to prevent pressure sores
- People with high-frequency incontinence needs
- Individuals recovering from surgery who require clinical monitoring
- Those approaching end of life who need continuous overnight presence
Waking night rates reflect the fully active nature of this role. A full assessment will help determine which type is most appropriate and most cost-effective for your situation.

Who We Support
Who Benefits Most From Overnight Home Care?
Overnight care is suitable for a wide range of individuals — and for the family members who care for them. If any of the following situations describes your loved one or your family, we can help.
Older Adults at Risk of Night Falls
Falls at night are one of the leading causes of serious injury in older adults. An overnight carer provides immediate assistance and helps prevent falls from becoming emergencies.
People With Dementia or Sundowning
Night-time confusion, wandering, and sundowning behaviour are distressing and potentially dangerous. A waking night carer provides calm, consistent, safe redirection throughout the night.
Post-Surgery or Post-Hospital Recovery
The nights following hospital discharge or surgery can be the most uncertain. An overnight carer monitors for complications, manages medications, and provides reassurance during recovery.
Those With Complex Medical Needs
Individuals with conditions requiring overnight monitoring, repositioning, or clinical intervention benefit from a waking night carer with the appropriate training and competence.
People Approaching End of Life
For individuals in the final stages of life, overnight presence provides comfort, dignity, and the reassurance that they are never alone — and that their family can rest knowing they are cared for.
Family Carers Who Need to Sleep
Many family carers manage all night-time needs themselves — at the cost of their own health and wellbeing. Overnight care provides the rest that family carers need and deserve.

Sleep Better Knowing Someone You Trust Is There
One of the most common things families tell us after arranging overnight care is simply this: “I finally slept.” The relief of knowing that a trained, vetted professional is with your loved one through the night — ready to respond to anything — is profound. This is what overnight care is truly about.
Client Stories
What Our Clients Say
“My father has dementia and was waking up multiple times a night, confused and distressed. I was exhausted and frightened every evening. Premier23 arranged a waking night carer within days — someone calm, experienced, and completely dependable. Within a week, Dad was more settled and I was sleeping for the first time in months. I genuinely do not know how I managed without it.”
