Overnight Care ― Who’s This Service For?
If you care for a loved one or have a caregiver who cares for your loved one during the day, you still might need to get help from an overnight caregiver.
Overnight care services from Assisting Hands give you a peace of mind.
Because of the mental and physical toll caregiving takes on a person, it isn’t possible for family caregivers to effectively provide care at all times. Professional live-in caregivers will get tired, too, despite being trained.
Mishaps and accidents tend to happen during the nighttime, which is typically when live-in caregivers are fatigued, or family caregivers have gone to their own home. That said, it is worth it to consider getting an overnight caregiver who can assist a loved one in case of an overnight emergency.
In our experience, Assisting Hands Home Care is usually hired to provide overnight care for elderly individuals who have been affected by the following:
- Dementia: People who are affected by dementia have been known to wake up from their sleep in a confused state only for them to end up aimlessly wandering their home. A lot of times these individuals will feel at ease once they see their caregiver’s friendly, familiar face.
- Post-Surgery: When someone undergoes surgery, recovering from it tends to be a lengthy process. The surgery causes one to be in pain and feel discomfort, which can cause the person to have a difficult time sleeping. Our caregivers will be ready to help in such cases, helping the person get in and out of bed and switch positions whenever needed.
- Fall Prevention: During the night, elderly individuals often wake up to use the bathroom, but there’s a greater risk of falls and suffering from injuries at this time. Our caregivers will be there to help seniors and prevent such accidents from happening during bathroom trips.
- Vision Loss: Recent statistics say that 1 out of every 3 elderly individuals has a disease that’s related to vision. Because of this disease, the darkness that the nighttime presents can be dangerous. Our overnight caregivers will assist by being the seniors’ eyes, getting them to and from the bathroom in a safe manner.
Our Experienced Caregivers Can Help with the Following:
- Bedtime routines: helping one bathe, get washed up, and get dressed
- Getting in and out of bed safely
- Making nighttime bathroom trips
- Medication reminders
- Any other necessary overnight help
