During a typical night, a caregiver might help your loved one to the bathroom and back, assist with repositioning or a change into dry clothing, bring a glass of water, and offer calm reassurance if they wake up confused or anxious. Depending on the care plan, the shift can also cover the bedtime routine and the first steps of the morning. For your family, it means someone is awake and with your loved one while you sleep, even if you live across town.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:140}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">When the Nights Become the Hard Part<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:220,&quot;335559739&quot;:100}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Many Brampton families tell us about a parent who manages well during the day but struggles after dark.

The Public Health Agency of Canada notes the World Health Organization estimate that about a third of older adults fall each year, and reports that falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations and injury deaths among people aged 65 or older (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-health\/services\/publications\/healthy-living\/surveillance-report-falls-older-adults-canada.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Public Health Agency of Canada, Surveillance Report on Falls Among Older Adults in Canada, 2022<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">). People who live with dementia are especially at risk of falling (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alzheimer.ca\/en\/help-support\/im-living-dementia\/living-well-dementia\/living-safely-independently\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Alzheimer Society of Canada, Living Safely and Independently<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">). The Public Health Agency of Canada\u2019s home-safety checklist asks whether night lights stay on in case you get up in the middle of the night, and whether there is a clear path from bed to bathroom (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/public-health\/services\/publications\/healthy-living\/safe-living-guide-a-guide-home-safety-seniors.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Public Health Agency of Canada, The Safe Living Guide<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">). An overnight caregiver can walk with your loved one on that route. A caregiver can help with safer movement and transfers, and if a fall occurs, is nearby to respond promptly, follow the care plan and get additional help when needed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:140}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dementia can also make evenings and nights harder. The Alzheimer Society of Canada notes that late-day confusion, sometimes called sundowning, is thought to affect as many as 66% of people with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or other dementias (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alzheimer.ca\/en\/help-support\/im-caring-person-living-dementia\/understanding-symptoms\/restlessness-or-confusion\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Alzheimer Society of Canada, Restlessness or Confusion, Especially Later in the Day<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">). It also explains that sleep disturbances affect both the person and their caregiver, and that a person who is awake at night may wander, be restless or call out (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/alzheimer.ca\/en\/help-support\/im-caring-person-living-dementia\/providing-day-day-care\/sleep\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Alzheimer Society of Canada, Sleep<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">).

Respite care is defined by why it happens: giving a family caregiver a break. The two often overlap, and respite can also be a few hours a week or a longer block while you travel, as our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/brampton\/respite-care-services\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">respite care in Brampton<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> page explains.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:140}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can Overnight Care Be Combined With Daytime Visits?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:220,&quot;335559739&quot;:100}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yes. Many plans mix the two, for example a morning visit for bathing and breakfast plus overnight care, with family covering the afternoon and evening. When the gaps between visits start to feel risky, that is usually the point to talk about 24-hour care.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:140}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Do We Need a Formal Assessment Before Care Can Start?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:220,&quot;335559739&quot;:100}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You do not need a government assessment for private care.
