During the day, senior citizens who need help in their home might have a family member who acts as a caregiver for them, or they may have a professional caregiver help them out. In many cases, the care might be limited to only the daytime. However, it is worth considering having a caregiver available during the nighttime as well.
Caregiving is a demanding job, so it’s nearly impossible for caregivers — be they family or professional — to provide effective care on a constant basis. Even live-in caregivers who are trained to work long hours get fatigued and need rest. Unfortunately, emergencies usually happen at night when no one is available to help. Knowing this, an overnight caregiver would be beneficial. There would be no need to worry as your loved one will have someone who is awake, alert, and available to help them at night.
Assisting Hands Home Care can help in such a situation with the overnight care services that we provide in Inverness, IL.
Our overnight care services are beneficial for elderly individuals who are affected by the following:
Dementia: Dementia patients tend to wake up during the night in a confused state. They begin to aimlessly wander around, which can be unsafe. When dementia patients wander, they often just need to see their caregiver to be comforted. The caregiver will then help them get back to bed.- Fall Prevention: Seniors may wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, but the risk of injury from a fall is high. Our caregivers will be available to help guide clients to the bathroom to prevent falls or resulting injuries.
- Post-Surgery: If an individual has surgery, it can take a long time to make a full recovery. The person is experiencing pain and discomfort and can have difficulties going to sleep because of it. Our caregivers will be around to help them get into bed, get out of bed, and switch sleeping positions.
- Vision Loss: Recent statistics state that 1 in every 3 older adults are affected by a vision-related disease. For these seniors, the nighttime is dangerous because it’s even more difficult for them to see. Our caregivers will act as your loved one’s eyes, guiding them throughout the house, to the bathroom, and back to bed.
Our experienced caregivers can provide assistance with the following tasks:
- Sleep/nighttime routine: Helping the client bathe and get dressed for bed
- Helping the client into and out of bed
- Helping the client get to the bathroom
- Reminding the client to take necessary medications
