Waking nights is when our care practitioners are on duty throughout the night from 10:00 pm to 07:00 am, making sure our service users and patients are sleeping or resting and safe and secure.
Waking nights cover means the care practitioners must be awake all night to undertake any care needs that may arise.
If you wake at regular intervals during the night to change position due to injury, or if you have to administer medication at regular intervals, the care practitioners can undertake those tasks, but during the rest of the time, the care practitioners can undertake domestic duties such as laundry, cleaning, etc. as necessary.
In these service types, the service user or patients are required to provide sleeping arrangements for your care practitioners .
