Overnight Home Care in Albuquerque
A trained caregiver stays the night and helps with bedtime and the 3am wake-ups. You get to sleep.
We Only Do Nights
Karin Ostrom worked eleven years of night shifts at a care home in the Northeast Heights. She watched families arrive worn out from months of broken sleep. In 2016 she started an agency for overnight care only. A caregiver arrives at bedtime, stays the night and hands over in the morning.

Overnight Care At Home
Non-medical help through the night, in your own home.
What Happens Between Bedtime And Breakfast
Every home is different. This is a typical awake night.
We Arrive Before Bedtime
Your caregiver hears how the day went and gets the house ready for the night.
Getting Ready For Bed
Help washing up and changing for bed, then a reminder for any evening medication.
When Someone Wakes
A walk to the bathroom and back, or a drink of water and quiet company until they settle.
The Morning Handover
A note on how the night went and a handover to you or the day caregiver.
Two Kinds Of Overnight Care
We'll help you choose on the first call, and you can change later.
Awake Nights
The caregiver stays up all night. This suits someone who wakes often or gets up and walks about at night.
Sleep-In Nights
The caregiver sleeps in a spare room and gets up if needed. This suits someone who wakes once or twice.
Nights Can Change
Start with sleep-in nights and move to awake nights if wake-ups grow, or the other way round.
So You Can Sleep Through The Night
Many family caregivers haven't slept a full night in months. Our caregiver takes the night watch, and you close your door and sleep. Most families start with two or three nights a week.

What Families Say About Our Nights
Mom was up four or five times a night and I was falling apart at work. Now Teresa is there Monday to Friday and I sleep again. Mom likes her, and that matters most.
When Dad came home from the hospital we booked two weeks of awake nights. Knowing someone was up with him at 3am meant I could stop sleeping in the chair.
I look after my wife, and they come three nights a week. I hear her get up, then I hear Luis with her, and I go back to sleep.

Overnight Care Questions
What's the difference between awake and sleep-in nights?
On an awake night the caregiver stays up the whole time. On a sleep-in night they sleep in a spare room and get up when needed. Awake nights cost more because the caregiver works every hour.
How much does overnight care cost?
Awake nights start at $30 an hour, for a 10-hour night. Sleep-in nights are a flat rate per night. We give you a written quote after the home visit.
Do we need a spare bed for the caregiver?
For sleep-in nights, yes. A private room or a sofa bed works. For awake nights, a comfortable chair near the bedroom is enough.
Can we book just one or two nights a week?
Yes. Many families start with two nights a week and add more later.
Does Medicare pay for overnight care?
Medicare generally doesn't pay for non-medical home care. Some long-term care insurance policies and Medicaid programs can help, so check with your insurer or New Mexico's Medicaid office.
Are your caregivers checked and trained?
Yes. Every caregiver is background-checked and trained before their first night.
