Night care at home.
Sleep-in support and waking nights, so someone is there when the house is quiet.
Sleep-in or waking nights.
Live-in care relies on a simple setup. The client provides a private room with a bed, storage, and space for the carer’s belongings. Meals come from the household food supply. The carer follows a planned work pattern with set breaks each day. Most carers cover day support and remain nearby at night. Night hours often involve sleep-in support, which means the carer rests but can respond if the person needs help. Some care plans include waking nights when the carer stays awake. The plan depends on the person’s needs and daily rhythm.
- Sleep-in: the carer rests but can respond if the person needs help.
- Waking nights: the carer stays awake.
