night care
Nocturnal patient monitoring
Night care refers to caregiving services provided during overnight hours, typically for children, elderly people, or those with medical needs.
Childcare facilities offering night care accommodate parents who work evening or overnight shifts.
For adults, night care often involves monitoring and assistance in nursing homes or home health settings: The hospice provides night care so family members can rest.
