If you or someone else provides one of your loved ones with care during the daytime, you should also consider getting them an overnight caregiver.
Because of the stress caregiving can cause both mentally and physically, family caregivers cannot provide proper care at all times. The same goes for live-in caregivers, despite their training, because they’ll inevitably get tired as well.
Overnight Care — Who’s This Service For?
Unfortunately, the worst tends to happen during the nighttime, which is when many people are without care. Because of this, you should consider an overnight caregiver for your loved one. An overnight caregiver who is well-rested, energized, and alert ensures that your loved one will be properly and effectively cared for during the night if necessary.
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide overnight care services so that your loved ones in Des Plaines, IL can be covered at night.
We have found that our overnight care services are most beneficial for people affected by the following conditions:
- Dementia: People who are affected by dementia have been known to wake up in a confused state only to start wandering around aimlessly. They usually feel at ease when seeing their caregiver’s friendly face.
- Post-Surgery: Recovering from a surgery takes a lot of time and typically comes with a lot of discomfort and pain. As such, it can be tough for individuals in such a position to sleep. Our caregivers can help with getting in and out of bed and switching their sleeping positions to ensure their comfort.
- Fall Prevention: Elderly individuals tend to wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, so our caregivers will help with nighttime bathroom trips, reducing the potential for falls and other injuries.
- Vision Loss: Recent statistics have shown that 1 out of every 3 older adults has a disease that affects their vision. That said, nighttime can be especially dangerous for seniors who don’t have good vision. Our caregivers will assist them by being their eyes, guiding them to the bathroom and back in a safe manner.
Our experienced caregivers can assist with the following tasks:
- Getting washed up and dressed for bed
- Getting in and out of bed
- Getting to the bathroom safely in the middle of the night
- Reminding clients to take proper medication
- Helping with other nighttime tasks
