The Benefits of Overnight Care for Seniors and Their Families in Calgary

Caring for a senior loved one can be a 24/7 responsibility, and overnight care is often a crucial component in ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being. At Home Instead, we understand the importance of providing overnight care that not only benefits seniors but also provides peace of mind to their families. Let's explore the invaluable advantages of overnight care and how our dedicated caregivers ensure a safe and nurturing environment for seniors in Calgary.

1. Safety and Security:
• Overnight care provides an extra layer of safety and security for seniors, especially those who are at risk of falls or require assistance during nighttime activities. Falls play a major risk to seniors, especially overnight when seniors may be tired, unsteady and there may be reduced light in the high-risk fall areas like bathrooms.
• Our caregivers are trained to respond promptly to any needs that may arise during the night, ensuring seniors feel secure and supported. Each Caregiver must stay awake and alert at all times of the night to be ready to help support the senior when they need it.
2. Enhanced Sleep and Rest:
• Seniors often experience sleep disturbances due to various factors, such as medical conditions or cognitive changes. They may be confused overnight and having a Home Instead Caregiver can help redirect them back to bed so that they get the rest they need.
• Our caregivers promote a calming and comforting environment, assisting seniors with nighttime routines, and encouraging better sleep and rest.
3. Reduced Family Burden:
• Overnight care alleviates the burden on family members who may have been managing the nighttime care of their loved ones. This allows the family caregiver to get the rest they need so they can be at their best for their other responsibilities.
• Families can rest assured knowing that our caregivers are professionally trained and capable of handling any nighttime needs.
4. Peace of Mind for Families:
• Knowing that a compassionate caregiver is present overnight brings peace of mind to families, even when they are not physically present. Your senior loved one is safe when Home Instead is there!
• Our online portal, the Family Room, allows families to access shift notes, pictures, and updates, fostering transparency and communication.
