Overnight Home Care

Free Consultation: (773) 207-3767

Assisting Hands Home Care provides non-medical senior care in Palos Heights and the surrounding area with a full range of elder care services (See All Served Areas). Our caregivers are highly trained and will treat your loved one with compassion.

Many families are able to provide some care and assistance for their senior loved ones to help them throughout the day. However, it may be difficult for families to provide their loved ones with attentive care during the night. If you have reached a point where you are unable to safely leave your loved ones at home overnight, it may be time to hire an overnight caregiver. Most accidents happen at night when there is no one nearby to help. An overnight caregiver will be awake to take care of your loved one and be there in case of an emergency.

Assisting Hands Home Care provides overnight home care services to seniors who need it most in Palos Heights, IL, and the surrounding areas.

Make sure to call us at (773) 207-3767 to schedule a free in-home consultation.

What Do Overnight Caregivers Do?

Our overnight caregivers can help seniors with the following:

  • Home Care After Surgery: People that have had a recent surgery usually have issues sleeping as they may be uncomfortable and in pain. Our licensed staff is trained to help them get in and out of bed and change positions during the night if needed.
  • Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care: Those affected by dementia or Alzheimer’s may have issues during the night as they may wake up confused and wandering. Our caregivers can help them find their way back to bed.
  • Prevention of falls: Seniors usually wake up to go to the restroom at night. An overnight caregiver can help them to the bathroom to make sure they avoid falling and injuring themselves.
  • Vision Issues/Loss: Many seniors have vision issues which can increase their risk of falling at night. Overnight caregivers can help guide them during the night so they can find where they need to go.

Overnight home care services include the following:

  • Getting in and out of bed
  • Personal hygiene, dressing etc.
  • Reminders to take medications
  • Assistance with going to the bathroom at night

Assistant Hands has went above and beyond their call of duty. Ms Ernestine is truly a gem. For over the past year and a half they have met the needs of my family to help with my grandmother. The patience and understanding with our schedules, short notice needs, schedule changes, etc.were met at all times. Thank you to the wonderful staff for all your hard work.

I'm so grateful for the excellent quality of service Assisting Hands provided for my 84 year old mom who is a resident at Waterford Estates Senior Living Community. Michala was patient and professional in the conversations to determine the package that was best suited for my mom's needs. The caregivers went above and beyond with their attentive care for mom and their emotional support of her during a difficult time of transition in her living arrangements. I'm very grateful for Assisting Hands.

Does Medicare cover in home care for seniors?
Medicare coverage for in-home care for seniors is limited and typically requires meeting specific criteria. While Medicare may cover some home health services, such as skilled nursing care or therapy, it typically does not cover custodial care, which includes assistance with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation. However, Medicare Advantage plans may offer additional benefits beyond what Original Medicare covers, including some in-home care services. Seniors seeking clarity on their Medicare coverage for in-home care are advised to review their plan details comprehensively and explore supplemental insurance options to ensure alignment with their individual needs and circumstances.

Is home health care and home care the same?
Home health care and home care may seem alike, but they serve different needs. Home health care involves skilled medical services provided by licensed professionals like nurses or therapists, including tasks like wound care and medication management. Home care, however, focuses on daily activities and household chores, often provided by non-medical caregivers.
What do when a dementia patient refuses care?
When a dementia patient denies care, they might be afraid of unknown people and the environment. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Stay calm and patient.
  • Try to understand the reason for refusal.
  • Offer choices and alternatives
  • Use reassuring language and build trust.
  • Simplify instructions and break tasks into smaller steps.
  • Use simple and clear explanations to help them understand why care services are necessary and how they can benefit from them.
  • Allow the individual time to process information
Does the VA pay for in-home care?
Yes, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) does provide coverage for in-home care services for eligible veterans through various programs. These programs, such as the Veterans Directed Care Program and the Aid and Attendance Benefit, offer financial assistance to veterans who require assistance with activities of daily living or have medical conditions that necessitate in-home care. Eligibility criteria typically include service-related disabilities, income thresholds, and other factors, and the specific benefits provided may vary depending on individual circumstances.
Does hospice cover 24 hour care at home?
At Assisting Hands, our hospice care includes 24-hour support at home for patients in the end stages of a terminal illness. This continuous home care provides round-the-clock nursing assistance to manage pain, offer emotional and spiritual support, and ensure comfort and dignity during the final days. However, the need for 24-hour care is assessed by the doctors and nurses based on the patient’s condition and needs.
How long is respite care?
Respite care typically lasts for a short period, ranging from a few hours to several days or weeks. It offers much-needed relief to family caregivers who require a break to rest, handle personal matters, or simply recharge. This temporary care can be arranged on a scheduled basis or in emergency situations
How can senior companionship improve the quality of life for seniors?
At Assisting Hands, our companionship services go beyond just providing company. We strive to uplift seniors’ spirits, improve their mood, and foster a sense of well-being through positive interactions. Our companions offer valuable social interaction and emotional support, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation. By engaging seniors in meaningful conversations and activities, we aim to keep them mentally stimulated and engaged, promoting cognitive health.
