Insights into the Waking Nights Service in Domiciliary Care

Posted on : November 27, 2024
Blogs /Insights into the Waking Nights Service in Domiciliary Care
picture

As an establishment that operates professional domiciliary care services, we've seen first hand how Waking Nights services are valued especially for individuals that require dedicated overnight support.  


This arrangement requires the carer/caregiver to stay awake and alert for the entire night, providing their active support and assistance to the patient ensuring peace of mind and service for their clients and families through continuous care and supervision. This service has also proven to reduce the risk of night time accidents or medical emergencies. 


During a waking nights shift, the tasks that are performed vary from individual to individual. However, these tasks do cross a line in which they are generally able to pin down which tasks they all have in common. 


One of which is the Assistance of Mobility and Transfers, as some individuals find difficulty in moving around safely in their own home, whether it's going to the bathroom or changing positions in their bed.  While having mobility aids and hoists are a great way to start, especially for clients with limited mobility, it is always far safer to have a carer actively assist them. 


For individuals that are bed-bound or immobile, repositioning is vital to maintain skin integrity, prevent pressure sores, and discomfort from laying in the same position. 


Personal Care is also something that carers provide to individuals in need of assistance. From toileting, including catheter, continence care, as well as Hygiene such as washing and even changing their clothes if required. 


This comes along with Medication Management where the carer administers prescribed medications at designated times while monitoring for side-effects or changes in the client's conditions, observing for signs of distress, discomfort or medical emergencies. 


One last thing that the carers do while on their waking nights duty is one last thing that the carers do while on their waking nights duty is carrying out light domestic duties if there is time for it. These involve preparing morning drinks, tidying up and ensuring that the environment around them is safe and clean for them to live.
