Home Care Solutions Provider Melbourne

Overnight Home Care Support

Your Care provides overnight in-home support when night time assurance is required. It is a cost-effective and flexible alternative to placing your loved one into a residential respite facility.

Clients can rest assured that a carer is sleeping in the next bedroom, available if needed on a low dependency basis. You can leave written or provide verbal instructions on commencement of the overnight stay. In the morning, expect handover of how the night went, information on what the carer has noticed. Your Care is about delivering seamless support.

Overnight Tasks

Night time support level vary and may include:

Reassurance or emotional support
Personal or continence care
Waking up to take medication
Being re-positioned or turned in bed
Toileting supervision/safety
Temperature control
Blood sugar checks
Staying hydrated

When booking the overnight stay, a care requirement assessment will be completed to ensure that overnight support is delivered in a safe manner. Higher levels of support may require active overnight care.

What is Live-in Home Care?

Live-In Home Care provides seniors with full-time, around the clock care. Clients and their families can have peace of mind with reliable, live-in Support Workers that monitor safety, attend to any immediate or daily needs and provide companionship.

Many people over the age of 65 report that they wish to age in place, at home. However, frailty, chronic illness or forgetfulness can make living alone too difficult. In these cases, live-in care allows your loved one to remain in the comfort of his or her home and maintain as much independence as possible while ensuring the highest level of safety. With full-time, around the clock care, a Support Worker is always watching over your loved one, offering emotional support, reducing fall risk and assisting in all activities of daily living including:

Cooking and light housekeeping.
Laundry and change of bed linens.
Grocery shopping and errands.
Companionship and range of motion exercise.
Bathing, dressing and grooming assistance.
Transportation to doctor appointments, supermarket, pharmacy.
Assisting with walking and transfer from bed to wheelchair.
Status reporting to family.
Medication reminders.

Who is it for?

Overnight support is ideal for the person who lives alone and wants to remain in their own home. It can also provide peace of mind for family members – to know that their loved one has someone in the house at night to monitor and care for them as needed.

Sleepover support is also a way to provide respite for the regular carer – who can enjoy a night out or away knowing that their loved one is well cared for. Your Care provides overnight support for NDIS participants and people who return home from hospital following surgery.

Where to from here?

No referral is necessary.

Overnight support can be extended to include additional early evening and morning hours. This is an efficient approach to achieving care consistency by engaging a single carer.

From our first contact, to the efficient lovelies in the office and to the wonderful carers that come to us , we have had nothing but professional , quality and caring support. The carers have been patient, encouraging and engaging with my mum . We would highly recommend TGC. Thank you TGC.

Mark Camberwell

We wanted to let you know that mum has improved so much that we no longer need to monitor her, she can now take herself to the toilet overnight. We also wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to you and your team of carers who helped us through these emotionally tough last few months.

Martyn Gilbert

Thank you to the team at The Good Companion. Their staff are so caring and easy to deal with. What could have been a very stressful situation was made so much easier to deal with because of the kindness and attention from the TGCA team. Would highly recommend this organisation.

Shannon Shelton

We have some of the best carers for my mum, they have become like friends to her and also her extended family and friends. They girls have been absolutely amazing in caring for all her needs. We are very lucky to have found this company to help us with our mothers needs.

Mariana Thom

We couldn't be happier with our carer John who goes out of his way, taking him out for a coffee, walk and general exercising at home. Dad is a quiet man but has built a good bond and enjoys Johns company on a weekly basis. Recommend this service highly and more so John. Very happy !!

Maryan Lovric

The team were easy to work with and I felt they really cared that mum was provided with the best possible care. The team of carers were lovely. Any concerns we had were quickly addressed. The carers always turned up on time and we were even able to arrange additional services at short notice.

Jenny Lower Templestow

Just got home from visiting Mum. She seems very happy with Sarah, who has managed to win her over by taking an interest in her garden. If there's one thing Mum loves it's tending to her plants, so Sarah is definitely a winner there.

Dion Glen Waverley

Hi Team, the three carers are brilliant! Mum is very happy and comfortable with all three. I know this because for the first time in a long time she is actually smiling. I attribute that all to Sarah, Ruth and Danielle and the companionship and care they provide. Your choice of carers has been spot on!

Client Review

We have had the pleasure of using HomCare service from the end of November until the beginning of March.

Communication was easy and efficient with excellent flexibility. John has made great recovery from his stroke so we are now looking to the future and what he may need. We would not hesitate to recommend HomCare. (Paulo Weribbee)
