Overnight Care
At Triple Care Healthcare we know that a good night’s sleep is the foundation of good health and that is why we have two types of night services that are perfect for you if you or your loved one has need for regular support during the night. We have the Waking Night service and the Sleep in Service.
What is Waking Nights?
If you are unable to have a live-in due to space constraints or for any other reason then this service will work best for you. Waking night care is when we provide you with care staff who are awake throughout the night and actively giving you or your loved one care and support. A normal waking night shift will run for 9 hours, from 10pm to 7am, however the times can be adjusted according to your specific needs.
