As our loved ones age, their needs for assistance and support may extend throughout the day and night. For seniors in Calgary, overnight care offers invaluable benefits, providing peace of mind to both seniors and their families that they are safe at night. At Home Instead in Calgary, we understand the importance of overnight care in enhancing safety and quality of life for seniors by providing trained staff who are awake to respond to any need that senior may have during the night. Let's explore the significant advantages of overnight care and how it helps prevent falls and ensures seniors' well-being during the night.

  1. Preventing Falls and Ensuring Overnight Safety:
    • Statistics show that seniors are at a higher risk of falls during the night, often due to factors like reduced visibility and mobility challenges. These falls lead to increased chances of hospitalization.
    • Home Instead's overnight care services include trained caregivers who remain awake and alert throughout the entire night, providing continuous supervision and assistance to prevent falls and accidents.
  2. Personalized Care and Assistance:
    • Overnight care from Home Instead in Calgary is tailored to meet the unique needs of each senior based on their overnight routine and needs.
    • Our caregivers offer personalized assistance with tasks such as toileting, medication reminders, and mobility support, ensuring seniors feel comfortable and secure throughout the night.
  3. Promoting Better Sleep and Rest:
    • Quality sleep is essential for seniors' overall health and well-being.
    • With overnight care, seniors can rest assured knowing that a professional caregiver is there to provide support, allowing them to sleep more soundly and wake up feeling refreshed.
    • This level of support also helps the spouse of the senior who needs support as they are able to fully rest knowing that their loved one is being cared for. This helps prevent burnout and injury.
  4. Alleviating Family Concerns:
    • Family members often worry about their senior loved ones' safety and well-being, especially during the night.
    • Home Instead's overnight care services alleviate these concerns, offering families peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are in capable hands. They can fully rest knowing that their loved one is being attended to.
