Nights can be the hardest part. Evenings get lonely, sleep is restless, and families lie awake wondering if Dad is all right. Sometimes a parent just feels safer knowing someone is in the house.
With overnight companionship, a Bradley companion arrives in the evening, helps settle your loved one for the night, stays in the home while they sleep and is there when they wake. The evening routine, a light supper, a tidy kitchen and a calm start to the morning are all part of the visit.

How visits work
Overnight visits are scheduled as a block, for example 8pm to 8am. We agree on the evening and morning routines at the home visit so your loved one knows exactly what to expect.
Every Bradley companion is background-checked, reference-checked and insured, and one of the owners meets your family in person before care begins. There is no long-term contract; you can change hours or pause at any time.
Questions about overnight companionship
Does the companion stay awake all night?
It depends on what your loved one needs. On a standard overnight the companion rests nearby, stays within earshot and gets up whenever your loved one wakes. If your loved one is up often or should not be alone at any point in the night, we schedule an awake overnight, where the companion stays up the whole time. We agree on which one fits at the home visit.
Can you do overnights just for a few weeks?
Yes. Overnights can be booked for a short period, such as after a hospital stay or while family travels.
Is overnight companionship a medical service?
No. It is non-medical company and household support.
