Compassionate overnight support that helps seniors stay safe, comfortable, and cared for at home.
Find an overnight caregiver near you who stays awake, present, and attentive through the night — so your loved one is safe at home and your whole family finally sleeps.
Quick answer: Overnight senior care is an in-home caregiving service where a trained caregiver stays awake and present through the night, helping with toileting, fall prevention, medication reminders, repositioning, and reassurance if your loved one wakes confused or anxious. LivePeace 24/7 provides overnight care across Greater Vancouver — as a standalone nightly service, as overnight respite for family caregivers, or combined with daytime and live-in care.
Overnight senior care means a trained caregiver stays awake and present in the home through the night — not simply sleeping nearby "on call," but actively available for toileting assistance, fall prevention, medication reminders, and reassurance if your loved one wakes confused or anxious. Families sometimes search for this service as "night care for the elderly" or an "overnight caregiver near me" — it's the same service, and it covers the highest-risk hours of the day: the hours when most families aren't watching and most incidents happen.
We serve families across Greater Vancouver — including Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Delta — with additional coverage in Victoria and Nanaimo. Call 604-442-1746 or book a free assessment to find the right overnight care plan for your family.
Overnight care is worth considering if your loved one shows any of the following:
Every overnight care visit is built around keeping your loved one safe, comfortable, and calm until morning.
Our overnight caregivers provide hands-on support throughout the night, not just a check-in — so your loved one is genuinely never alone.
For seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's, overnight supervision is especially important — sundowning and nighttime wandering call for a steady, trained presence. We prioritize matching one long-term caregiver rather than rotating staff, since consistency helps reduce nighttime anxiety and confusion.
Overnight care can be arranged as a standalone nightly service, or combined with daytime support for seamless 24-hour coverage. Many families start with overnight-only care and add daytime hours as needs grow — you're never locked into one arrangement.
The first nights home after a hospital stay carry real risk — new medications, unfamiliar mobility limitations, and disrupted sleep patterns. Same-day placement may be available for urgent situations, subject to caregiver availability, so overnight support can begin as soon as possible after your loved one arrives home.
Overnight care isn't one-size-fits-all. LivePeace offers both an Awake Overnight option, where the caregiver remains alert and active all night, and a Sleep Overnight (flat-rate) option, where the caregiver sleeps on-site but is available if needed. Here's how they compare:
| Awake Overnight | Sleep Overnight | |
|---|---|---|
| Caregiver status | Remains awake all night | Sleeps on-site, available if needed |
| Frequent toileting/assistance | ✓ Well suited | Depends on needs |
| Nighttime wandering / dementia | ✓ Better suited | May not be appropriate |
| Repositioning (bedridden clients) | ✓ Well suited | Depends on needs |
| Occasional reassurance only | ✓ | ✓ Often sufficient |
| Typical pricing model | Hourly, from $27/hr | Flat nightly rate |

Falls are a leading cause of senior injury, and many happen during unsupervised overnight bathroom trips.
A consistent, familiar caregiver can help reduce nighttime anxiety for seniors living with cognitive decline.
Overnight support is one option families use to help address nighttime safety concerns while remaining at home.
Note: general guidance only, not a substitute for medical advice. Speak with your loved one's physician about specific health and safety concerns.
"I cannot say enough good things about Ricky and her staff. She responds quickly and the caregivers she has sent so far for my elderly mom's care have been phenomenal — like a second, instant family at a time when it is very badly needed. Thank you so much, Ricky and staff!"
"It changed the quality of my life and, more importantly, my wife's life. The people LivePeace provided were attentive, loving, and amazing. I continue to use their services and will always appreciate what they have done for us. Highly recommend."

What is overnight senior care?
A trained caregiver stays awake and present in the home through the night, providing toileting assistance, fall prevention, medication reminders, and reassurance if your loved one wakes confused or anxious.
Is the overnight caregiver awake all night?
With our Awake Overnight option, yes — the caregiver remains alert and available throughout the shift. With our Sleep Overnight flat-rate option, the caregiver sleeps on-site but is available if needed.
What's the difference between overnight care and live-in care?
Overnight care covers nighttime hours only. Live-in care provides continuous day-and-night support. Many families start with overnight-only care and move to live-in care as needs increase.

Why is overnight care important for seniors with dementia?
Sundowning and nighttime wandering are common in dementia and Alzheimer's, and a steady, trained presence can help reduce the risk of falls or the senior leaving the home unsupervised.
Can overnight care be combined with daytime support?
Yes. Overnight care can be arranged as a standalone nightly service or combined with daytime visits for seamless 24-hour coverage.
How quickly can overnight care start?
Many families are matched with a caregiver within days. Same-day placement may be available for urgent situations such as hospital discharge, subject to caregiver availability.
Can I arrange overnight care after a hospital discharge?
Yes. The first nights home after a hospital stay carry real risk from new medications and disrupted sleep. Same-day placement may be available, subject to caregiver availability.
Can I get overnight respite care for a few nights only?
Yes. Overnight respite care can be arranged short-term — for example, after a hospital discharge or during a family caregiver's recovery — or as an ongoing nightly service.
Will my loved one have the same overnight caregiver each time?
Yes, wherever possible. Consistency helps reduce nighttime anxiety and builds trust, especially for seniors with cognitive decline, so we prioritize matching one long-term caregiver.
Is overnight care the same as hiring a night nurse?
Not quite. A night nurse is a licensed medical professional for clinical needs like IV lines or wound care. Overnight caregivers provide non-medical support — toileting, fall prevention, mobility assistance, and reassurance — which covers what most families need at a lower cost.
