The process

What to expect

01

Needs assessment

The coordinator agrees the hours, priority tasks (monitoring, transfer assistance, medication) and the right caregiver profile with you.

02

Shift handover

The caregiver arrives on time, reviews the care file, sets up monitoring equipment and introduces themselves to the patient.

03

Continuous monitoring

Regular rounds, vital-sign checks, repositioning, and help with overnight needs — toileting, hydration, medication.

04

End-of-shift handover

A written summary is passed to the family and to the next caregiver: events, vital signs, and the patient's overall condition.

The benefits

You can finally rest

A qualified watcher takes the night or the day shift so exhausted relatives can sleep, work or simply step away with their mind at ease.

A safe pair of eyes through the night

Falls, agitation and changes in breathing are noticed the moment they happen, not hours later, and acted on straight away.

Flexible cover that fits your week

Book a single night, alternate nights or round-the-clock relays; the rota adapts to your family’s situation and budget.

Patient profile

Who is this for

Fragile post-hospitalisation

Your loved one has just left hospital and the first nights at home need close monitoring to prevent complications.

Night-time fall risk

Your parent gets up at night and risks a fall. A reassuring presence prevents fractures and emergency-room visits.

Respite for the family carer

You watch over a dependent relative every night and need sleep to keep going without burning out.

Five steps, zero grey areas.

From first contact to the final report, every moment is documented, traceable and transparent.

Clinical details

A day or night watch at home provides the continuous presence of a professional trained in monitoring and emergency response. Vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, temperature) are checked according to the medical prescription. The caregiver follows the protocol for preventing bed-rest complications: repositioning every 2 to 3 hours to prevent pressure sores, urine-output monitoring, regular hydration and early detection of confusion or disorientation. In the event of an unexpected incident (fall, fainting, respiratory distress), the caregiver provides first-response care and immediately contacts the coordinator, who activates the care chain according to severity.

Frequently asked questions

  • A standard shift runs 8 to 12 hours, typically covering the night so the family can sleep. For continuous cover we organise relays so a fresh, alert professional is always present.

  • It depends on the patient. A care assistant suits company, mobility and comfort needs, while a nurse is assigned when there are medical tasks such as monitoring, oxygen or injections during the shift.

  • Yes. The professional follows an agreed plan: they provide first care, telephone the family and, if needed, call our 24/7 coordinator or SAMU 141 without delay.

The first nights after my father came home from hospital, the care assistant watched over him. He slept peacefully — and so did I, for the first time in weeks.
