Night Care
Our Night Care Support
“We are here to support you through the night.”
At Apex Healthcare Services Ltd, we understand that an individual’s need for care does not end once the sun sets; rather in some cases, individuals will continue to need care and support throughout the night for various reasons. And so, we offer a Night care service, to help provide reassurance and peace of mind to both clients and their family members. We offer a flexible service giving individuals options to change the level of support to suit their needs. We know that an individual’s needs are constantly changing, and we recognize the importance of individuals having control over their own care and support, giving them the reassurance that the service can adapt to their needs.
The process generally begins after an assessment is carried out to establish the level of care and support needed, then we discuss what outcomes you would like met, followed by discussing how you would like your care and support to look like. Once all this has been established, we are then able to provide one-to-one night care, alleviating any stress and anxiety of being without any support at night.
Who may need Night Care?
Individual’s needing this type of support service are often looking to stay in the comfort of their own home, but due to health challenges require extra care to do so
What is Included and Who Can Benefit from Night Care
Challenges of dementia or Alzheimer’s: Helping clients manage the challenges faced by certain progressive conditions such as Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Supporting client’s manage anxiety levels, risk of wondering and providing reassurance for family members, by ensuring, a well-trained and professional carer is be available to look after their loved one.
Following surgery and/or recovering from an accident or incident: which may limit an individual’s mobility or ability to carry out certain tasks and as result they require monitoring and assistance at night.
Risks of falls: falls are more likely to occur due to the darkness of night. Having a carer available at night who can assist and/or guide you when you need to get out of the bed, will help in keeping you safe and reducing the risk of falls.

Night Care Services We Offer
At Apex Homecare, our night care services are categorised into “Sleeping Night Care,” and “Walking Night Care.”
Sleeping Night Care
Sleeping Night Care involves having a carer sleep over to assist during the night. This type of support is popular with individuals who may have a progressive condition like Dementia or Alzheimer’s and who become anxious and are looking for a carer to sleep over to provide them with reassurance if they were to need any assistance e.g. assistance to bathroom, support changing continence pads, or to be available if the client is wondering, unsure of where they are etc.
Sleeping Night Care is a more affordable option when compared to Waking night care, however they are certain limitations to the support. For example, during a sleeping night, a carer would be able to assist up to 3 times, after which time, the support would be considered a Waking Night and would be charged at a higher rate.
Waking Night Car
Waking night care requires the carer to be awake throughout the night to cater to any care needs you might have at that time. This requires the carer to be alert all night, providing care at regular intervals, and to check-in on the clients’ condition. This level of night care would better suit one with larger support needs e.g. having under gone surgery, needing continuous emotional support and reassurance e.g. challenges of dementia. Waking night care is an optimal solution for clients with dementia who are prone to wandering off, causing higher risks of falls that could possibly result in accidents and injuries.
Overnight or Night Care Costs
The cost of night care will depend on the level of care needed and duration. At Apex Healthcare Services Ltd we strive to ensure that at the assessment stage, we provide options for individuals allowing for a flexible, tailored approach to matching the service to individuals’ requirements and needs. Please contact us and we can arrange to come and carryout an assessment to establish the level of support we can provide and the likely cost of that support.

Trusted by Clients and Caregivers
We have been very grateful for the care my dad has received from Apex over the last few years. The dedicated care staff, office and management team have enabled her to stay in her own home as his support needs increased. Apex have always provided him with the highest standard of care, going the extra
mile to look after her, supporting him to be as healthy and happy as possible. My dad very much enjoyed seeing his carers each day, and would enjoy chatting with them, while they were looking after him. The Apex team were always happy to adapt to her needs, and when her health situation suddenly changed, made more care available to meet his increased need for care overnight, meaning he could feel safe overnight at home.
I cannot thank Apex enough for how they looked after my father. Knowing that she had such good care, meant that we could enjoy time together as a family and know that while we were not around my mum was as safe and well looked after as it was possible for her to be.
Joyce C (Daughter of Client)
Apex have provided care services to our elderly mother since 2017. Their level of care service has always been excellent and reliable which is necessary for our elderly mother given her anxiety/stress and immobility conditions. Apex carers have been wonderful, I have no idea how they find their amazing
team but they are always ready to assist and willing to do the bit extra. To back the care team, the management and administration team are brilliant in their attention not only to the clients but also in contacting family in case of emergency, and providing extra cover at short notice. I recommend Apex to prospective clients without hesitation. Thank you to the manager, director and the staff team.

Robert O (Son of Client)
The care my partner has received from Apex has continued to be outstanding. My partner has a small team providing his care and two main carers providing the majority of the care. The carers are dedicated, patient and understanding. The carers treat my partner with the utmost respect at all times and
never rush him. They allow time for him to complete the tasks he wants to himself. Recently my partner had a rapid decline in health. Apex responded quickly to his changing needs. They liaised with Social Services and had arranged for an immediate increase to two carers per call. They ensured that at each call a familiar carer was present.
