24 Hour Care Cambridge

Based just a few miles north of Cambridge, we offer a range of outstanding yet affordable homecare services, including dementia care for private clients in and around the city, in Cambridgeshire and North Hertfordshire.

Our team recognises that staying safe and secure in the privacy of your own home isn’t just important; its cosiness and familiarity mean absolutely everything to you.

So, get in touch with Eaton Home Care and we can start to make it happen.

Well-established, with a wealth of specialist management knowledge, our business is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission.

We also manage a robust recruitment, training and ongoing development programme for all our carers. Equally, we always sensitively match each carer or care team to a client to ensure balance, harmony – and your happiness.

Nightly At Home Care

Our night care team could be the lifeline that makes all the difference to your wellbeing and sense of safety. At night, you may feel vulnerable and could benefit from extra support. Perhaps you may have a health condition that requires continuous care.

Alternatively, you may be a concerned relative losing sleep over your elderly Mum or Dad.

Engaging night carers at home from Eaton Home Care could be what’s missing. Read more here about overnight home care.

However, the cost of overnight care in the UK, and in Cambridgeshire generally, could be a worry. Our services are affordable and, we think, excellent value for money compared to residential care costs.

Cost of Overnight Care at Home

We keep things simple, with custom plans from eight, ten or 12 hours.

All our fees are fixed and all-inclusive, with no unexpected extras; what you see is what you will pay.

 Eaton Home Care will create and agree with you an overnight care package based around your needs or those of your loved one. This involves a full assessment of how best to support and care for you during the night.

Your overnight care package can include getting you ready for bed and helping you get up, washed and dressed the following morning. Also, your carer can be present should you wander during the night, or feel agitated at that time. In addition, they can help you find a comfortable position back in bed, help with nighttime medication and offer support with toileting or using your commode.

Equally, they can be there just in case of an emergency.  

Your carer’s presence could simply be to provide comfort or companionship if you get upset or distressed.

And, while you sleep they can quietly take care of any household tasks you may need seeing to.

Overnight Care - Payment Options

  • Fees will be payable monthly, either by credit card or BACS transfer (unless otherwise agreed).
  • Look out for a monthly statement of your fees.
  • Eaton Home Care will review our fees annually but offer full flexibility to enable you to change your package to reflect your care needs. We may need to change our costs to comply with any legislative, statutory or regulatory requirements, and we will consult with you should this arise.

Funding for Night Carers at Home

Currently, we only offer home care for those who are self-funding. If you’re considering this option but concerned about finance, Eaton Home Care can introduce you to a financial adviser, who can offer you advice on equity release – one of the choices you may wish to discuss with them.

What are the different types of overnight care available to you?

We offer two services of overnight care; sleeping night care and waking night care, depending on your needs.
