Many families are able to provide care for their senior relatives during the day, but the nighttime presents a challenge. It is difficult for families to designate a family member who can spend the night in the home of your elderly loved ones and leaving them alone through the night is not an ideal option. Emergencies tend to happen at the worst times, including the middle of the night, and the consequences are always worse if no one is there to provide immediate assistance. Even if a family member can stay in the home, they will most likely be asleep in the middle of the night and won’t react fast enough if there is an emergency.
Assisting Hands Home Care can help your family cover the nighttime with our overnight care services in Aurora, IL. We will assign a licensed caregiver who will stay awake in your loved ones’ home and provide them with care and assistance from the evening until the next morning. The presence of our caregiver through the night will help ensure the safety of your loved ones and cover them in case of a middle of the night emergency.

We recommend that you consider overnight care services for senior citizens with the following issues:
- Vision Loss: If your loved ones have experienced any loss of vision, moving around the house at night can be dangerous. We can help your loved ones through the home at night by guiding them and turning on lights.
