Personal Care in Hospital

Comfort, companionship and extra support, when you need it most

A hospital stay can be tiring and unsettling – for both patients and their families. While doctors and nurses focus on treatment and recovery, our role is to provide that extra layer of one-to-one personal care and companionship to make your stay more comfortable.

With the full approval and cooperation of hospital staff, our experienced carers can:

Rest assured, this is not about replacing or duplicating the vital work of hospital teams – it’s about complementing their care, giving you or your loved one the comfort, dignity and attention that only dedicated one-to-one support can provide.

Whether for a few hours a day or longer periods, we’re here to make every hospital stay less stressful and more reassuring.

Who will help me?

As with all our services you will be looked after by one of Nightingale’s fully trained carers, whose exact hours can be tailored to your needs.

Getting you up

We’ll help you start your day comfortably, offering gentle assistance with getting up, washed, and ready.

Bed making

We’ll make sure your bed is clean, tidy, and comfortable, just the way you like it

Washing and using the bathroom

Our carers can provide discreet, respectful support with washing, bathing, and using the bathroom.

Meal planning and preparation

We’ll help plan and prepare nutritious meals you’ll enjoy, taking into account your tastes and dietary needs.

Helping you to bed at night

We’ll help you settle in for a good night’s rest, making sure you’re safe, comfortable, and relaxed.

Medication assistance

We can remind you to take your medication or provide hands-on support with administering it as part of your care plan.

How much does night care cost?

As you’d expect with any after hours service, night care is more expensive than day care. But because we are transparent in our costs, and don’t have hidden charges, you will have the confidence of knowing the price will be fixed and agreed in advance.

Who will be looking after you?

You’ll be taken care of by a small team of our fully trained carers, each one of whom you’ll have personally approved. And we’ll review your daily home care on a regular basis.

What people say about our hospital care service

Anne Henry

I have always been treated very well by the staff at Nightingales when I have had occasion to telephone them. I am very satisfied with my carer, she is polite and does care about people.

Jhon Law

On behalf of my sister Margaret and me, I just wanted to thank you and your wonderful team for looking after our mother everyday for the past six or so years. It was always such a relief to know that she was so well cared for each morning and evening and that the Carers became familiar faces to her each day.

Mike Payne

I have thoroughly enjoyed dealing with Nightingales. Everyone I spoke to was kind, cheerful and helpful. I promise I’ll sing your praises to anyone in a situation like ours.

Your Services are an Asset to all the Families faced with the reality of co-ordinating Care for their Aging Parents, providing expert and compassionate Care. Your Carers’ ensured Mum was comfortable and safe while managing her Dementia and, not long after your Services were employed, we noticed how much more Mum was engaging and less confused.

Gemma duly arrived this morning and, despite your caution in setting the time for 8.45, she was bang on time at 8.30. For a girl who has to walk and take the ‘bus, that is quite an achievement. I hope it doesn’t sound patronising when I write that I found her work of the highest standard and we got on well together. I look forward to many more days of her coming here: thank you for sending her.

Sylvia Hoyle

Your help and willingness to make things easier made it possible for mother to stay at home. We cannot speak highly enough of the quality of care you gave, and will have no hesitation in recommending Nightingales in future.
