NIGHT CARE IN SOUTHAMPTON
Reassuring overnight support in the comfort of your own home
Needing care does not always stop when the day ends.
We Care Together provides personalised night care in Southampton for people who need additional support, reassurance or supervision overnight.
An overnight carer stays in your home, providing support according to your individual care plan. This can include help with medication, toileting, repositioning, companionship and other agreed care needs during the night.
Whether support is needed because of reduced mobility, dementia, a progressive condition, complex care needs or end-of-life care, our night care is planned around the individual.
NIGHT CARE BUILT AROUND YOUR NEEDS
Everyone’s overnight care requirements are different.
Some people may need regular assistance during the night, while others may primarily benefit from knowing that a carer is there if support is needed.
Before care begins, we take time to understand your routines, health and care needs, mobility, medication requirements and the type of assistance you may need overnight.
This allows us to create a personalised care plan rather than applying the same night-time routine to everyone.
As needs change, the level and type of support can also be reviewed.
HOW CAN OUR NIGHT CARE TEAM HELP?
Depending on your assessed needs and agreed care plan, overnight support can include:
Toileting support
Sensitive assistance with getting to and from the toilet or managing other toileting needs during the night.
Medication support
Medication administration or reminders where appropriate and included within the agreed care plan.
Repositioning
Assistance with changing position during the night where this forms part of the person’s assessed care needs.
Mobility support
Practical assistance when moving around the home during the night.
Mouth care
Help with mouth care where this has been identified as part of the individual’s agreed care needs.
Companionship and reassurance
A calm, familiar presence for people who may feel anxious, unsettled or simply more reassured knowing someone is nearby.
Dementia support
Overnight care for people living with dementia who may experience confusion, anxiety or changes in their usual sleep patterns.
Support with progressive conditions
Personalised night care can form part of a wider package of support for people living with progressive conditions or more complex care needs.
End-of-life support
Compassionate practical and personal care at night for people receiving palliative or end-of-life support at home.
Support during periods of wakefulness
A carer can provide reassurance and appropriate assistance if someone wakes during the night and needs support before settling again.
REASSURANCE THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
Night-time can sometimes feel more difficult when someone is living with illness, reduced mobility, dementia or increasing care needs.
Tasks that may be manageable during the day can become harder when someone is tired, disorientated or needs assistance getting out of bed.
Having an overnight carer in the home means support is available according to the person’s agreed care plan.
For some people, that may involve practical assistance several times during the night. For others, simply knowing that someone is there can provide valuable reassurance.
Our aim is to provide the right level of support while respecting the individual’s privacy, dignity and usual night-time routine.
NIGHT CARE FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA
Changes in sleep patterns can sometimes be particularly challenging for people living with dementia and their families.
Someone may wake during the night feeling confused, anxious or unsure of their surroundings.
A night carer can provide a familiar and reassuring presence, offer companionship and support agreed care needs such as toileting, medication or mobility.
Where night care forms part of a wider dementia care package, our approach remains centred around the individual, their routines and the things that help them feel comfortable and reassured.
SUPPORT FOR COMPLEX AND CHANGING CARE NEEDS
Some people need more involved support overnight because of a progressive condition, reduced mobility or complex care needs.
Night care can form part of a wider personalised care package, providing agreed practical and personal support during the hours when family members or daytime carers may not be present.
The exact support provided will depend on the individual’s assessed needs.
Where medical or specialist nursing care is required, this should continue to be provided by the appropriate healthcare professionals. We Care Together provides personal and practical home care alongside other professionals where appropriate.
WHY CHOOSE WE CARE TOGETHER?
Local night care in Southampton

Care centred around the individual
Night-time support is planned around the person’s routines, preferences and individual care needs.
Compassionate, professional carers
Our carers are selected and trained to provide respectful, person-centred support in the home.
Dignity and privacy
Overnight personal care is provided sensitively, with respect for the individual’s privacy and choices.
Reassurance for families
Having a carer present overnight can help relatives feel more confident that support is available when they are unable to provide it themselves.
Flexible care
Care needs may change over time, so overnight support can be reviewed and adjusted where appropriate.
SUPPORTING FAMILIES AND UNPAID CARERS
Caring for someone overnight can be exhausting, particularly when interrupted sleep continues over a long period.
Family members may find themselves regularly waking to provide medication, help with toileting, offer reassurance or respond when their loved one becomes unsettled.
Overnight care can give family carers an opportunity to rest while knowing that their loved one has support available in the home.
This can be especially valuable when a family member is already providing significant support during the day.
Our carers can take responsibility for the agreed overnight care needs, helping relatives step back from some of the practical caring responsibilities and get the rest they need.
