Home Care Advantage, LLC offers overnight professional home care services in Danbury, Connecticut, and the surrounding areas. There are many reasons why you might need an overnight caregiver for an aging parent or loved one. These caregivers can provide assistance with daily activities, medical monitoring, and personal care while your loved one sleeps.
The overnight caregiver will only sleep if it is agreed upon by the family and the home care agency. According to CHALEFF, REHWALD, PETERSON, in-home caregivers must be paid for all hours they are required to remain on the premises, under the control of their employer (the home care agency), even if they are sleeping, inactive, watching television or surfing the net.
There are many reasons why you might request overnight care for your parent or loved one. If you are the primary caregiver, you may need a break from the continuous supervision that your loved one requires. It’s important to get a good night’s sleep for your physical and mental well-being.
The overnight caregiver will typically stay at your home for eight to twelve hours, beginning in the late evening and continuing until dawn. Your family may need short or long-term care at night depending on your needs and your loved one’s needs. The most common challenges that prompt families to seek overnight care include critical medical conditions that require constant monitoring, memory problems, recovery from surgery, limited mobility, fall prevention, and companionship.
The overnight caregiver can also perform light housekeeping duties while your loved one sleeps, such as cleaning the bathroom, doing laundry, taking out the trash, and doing dishes. Additionally, the caregiver can assist with bathroom trips, medication reminders, and making quick snacks for your loved one.
The assistance of a nighttime caregiver is especially beneficial for seniors who suffer from sundowner’s syndrome and dementia. The caregiver can provide companionship and reorient your loved one if they become disoriented in the middle of the night.

With over 25 years of healthcare experience working with seniors, our model and approach to non-medical home care services are straightforward, providing you with the compassionate care you deserve. Providing care from the heart is what we are all about; we proactively work with you and your family to develop a care plan designed to meet your specific need for assistance and budget.
In addition to having an extensive work background in healthcare, my recent educational experience allowed me to earn my Doctorate Degree in public healthcare. This achievement enhanced my knowledge of the ever-evolving healthcare delivery system and heightened my awareness that you cannot go it alone to get the best outcome. Additionally, I have seen how some of my family members struggled and were overwhelmed with ensuring that their parents were safe and their needs were met. They did not know who to trust or where to turn for reliable and affordable help. I have made it our mission to be part of the solution allowing seniors to remain independent and be treated with the respect they deserve.
We are committed to providing excellent care for our clients, just as we would care for members of our own families. Please be assured that I will use my knowledge and background to protect and be a trusted resource for seniors and their families.
You can be confident that our caregivers are carefully screened, dependable, and selectively chosen to meet the specific needs of our clients. They are experienced and highly trained to provide excellent quality care and follow a strict professional code of conduct and ethics.
Our caregivers are competitively paid directly by our agency; there is no additional charge to you. Home Care Advantage files Social Security/Medicare, Federal and State Withholding Tax, and Unemployment Insurance for our employees. Workers’ compensation insurance and a fidelity bond cover the caregivers and supervisory staff.
Our caregivers are here for you and will work hard to assist you with your specific needs in the comfort of your own home. It is said that “Home is where the heart is.” Let Home Care Advantage provide care that will enrich your life and help you maintain an independent lifestyle in the comfort of your own home, “where you want to be.” Call us now! We look forward to working with you and your family.
