Overnight care refers to support services provided to individuals during the night, usually between the evening and early morning hours. It is commonly included as part of aged care or disability support for people who require assistance or supervision while they sleep. Discover the different levels of support available in our guide on Home Care Packages Level 1–4.
With overnight care at home, individuals can receive flexible support ranging from a few hours to 24/7 care, helping maintain comfort, safety, and independence. To learn more about how these packages can support your needs, visit our overview of Home Care Packages.
Active overnight care means a caregiver remains awake throughout the night to provide ongoing support and assistance as needed. This service is ideal for elderly individuals who require constant attention, such as those with complex medical conditions, palliative care needs, or mental health concerns. Our caregivers help ensure medication schedules are followed and provide immediate support whenever required.
Inactive overnight care involves a caregiver staying overnight in the home while sleeping between 10 pm and 6 am. They are available to assist once during the night, with any additional support charged at an extra hourly rate. This service is suitable for individuals who may need assistance with bathroom visits, medication reminders, or reassurance and support if they wake during the night feeling confused or unsettled.
We provide a range of services as part of our active and inactive overnight care packages. Here are some of the key benefits:
Our caregivers assist clients safely in and out of bed and provide bathroom support during the night, helping reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
