    Frequently asked questions

    How many night wakes justifies a waking-night carer?

    As a rough rule, three or more wakes a night, or any wake that involves transfers or personal care, is a strong case for a waking-night carer.

    Can a live-in carer cover nights too?

    Yes for up to two wakes a night. Beyond that, adding a waking-night carer on top of the live-in is the safe option.

    What does a waking-night carer do all night?

    Repositioning, toileting, medication timing, safety checks, gentle reassurance, and dealing with any incidents. Not just watching TV.

    Which is cheaper?

    A waking-night carer alone (~9 hours a night) in Staines typically costs less than 24-hour live-in — but doesn't cover daytime needs. It depends on your full picture.

    Can we do nights only, no daytime?

    Yes. Many families combine waking-night care with family daytime support, or with short daytime visits from us.
