While you were sleeping - a guide to overnight care

As one’s golden years unfold, the veil of night often brings forth additional uncertainty.

Worries about falls, unexpected events, and tomorrow’s plans can often disturb one’s beauty sleep – causing stress and more eye bags than necessary for both our esteemed seniors and their families.

And unfortunately, this is one issue that counting sheep cannot solve. Acquaint’s overnight care services, on the other hand, are what dreams are made of.

What is overnight care?

Overnight care is when a carer stays with you at night to support your care needs.

What are the types of overnight care for the elderly?

Acquaint’s overnight care comes in all shapes and sizes – each of them premium, passionate and personal.

Active overnight care

You know what they say… no rest for the wicked. And in active overnight care, Acquaint is as wicked as they come. Awake, aware and always ready to respond to any of your requests.

Inactive or sleepover care

Call it a sleepover or a soiree under the stars, Acquaint’s inactive overnight care is as versatile as can be. Our carers sleep at your home yet remain readily available to assist you whenever you need them. Now, that’s what we call flexibility.

About Acquaint’s overnight care service

Why choose silk over polyester? Because some things just feel better.

Acquaint’s overnight care service gives you the peace of mind and companionship necessary for a peaceful night’s sleep.

In fact, the reasons one might engage Acquaint’s overnight service are many – we’re glad you asked.

Enhanced safety and security

Like a light in the darkness, our highly trained and compassionate carers will be there to help you with whatever you need.

Improved sleep quality

Say goodbye to all the tossing, turning and holding in nature’s calling for fear of falls. You will get your rest, and that’s a promise!

Reduced stress and anxiety

We’ve all heard the scary stories about things that go bump in the night.

That’s why Acquaint will be there to check under the bed, in the closet – and clear a path from your room to the rest of your home – to ensure you get a peaceful night’s sleep.

Personalised care

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: when it comes to home care assistance, one size does not fit all.

That’s why at Acquaint, we tailor our overnight services to you and your needs.

Maintaining independence

It’s your world (the rest of us are merely living in it).

Here at Acquaint, we know and understand that. Which is why we’d never presume to take away your autonomy – day or night.

3. Communication and responsiveness: Have any questions or concerns? Your Acquaint team will communicate with you clearly, concisely and compassionately to clear it all up.

Don't just take our word for it

“As a physician (and a son), I am acutely aware of the challenges of aging – and finding the right support to keep patients (and parents) independent at home. The team at Acquaint have been invaluable in this regard, and for that, I have nothing but praise for them. I really appreciate the personalised attention to detail they provide. Nothing is too difficult!”
