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.
