Personal and live-in care
Overnight care
A carer in the house through the night.
From £180/night
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.
About this service
Overnight care is for the hours when families are most frightened: a parent who wanders, a recent discharge, or a palliative night. We agree whether the carer is waking or sleeping. We do not pretend a sleeping night is a waking night.
Is this right for me?
- Nights that have become unsafe
- A short block after hospital
- Respite for a family carer

Pricing
From-price for a night. Waking nights and sleeping nights are quoted differently.
After your visit
A run of nights is often more useful than a one-off. We will say if live-in would be kinder.
Where we cover
Home visits across Lurgan, Craigavon, Portadown and Banbridge as core cover, with Lisburn, Armagh, Dungannon and Belfast arranged with a travel note. Call with a postcode and we will confirm. A family member can book if the patient consents to be seen.
FAQs
What is the difference between a waking night and a sleeping night?
A waking night means the carer stays up. A sleeping night means they sleep in the house and get up if needed. Prices differ because the work differs.
