Overnight caregiver duties cover a range of needs that a loved one may require at night:
Supervise older adults who sleepwalk.
Help seniors get up to use the bathroom.
Reassure seniors who experience nighttime disturbances.
Provide emotional support to seniors whose depression or anxiety spirals in the evening.
The goal of overnight care is to provide professional support, safety, and assurance to elderly adults during the evening hours. Ultimately, overnight caregivers provide peace of mind to both loved ones and their families.
