Overnight care services
Our care is always based entirely on you and your family’s needs, so every package is completely bespoke. Flexible solutions, such as overnight care, are available for when you need an extra layer of support.
Night time nesters
Our night time nesters service offers peace of mind for you and your loved ones. Overnight care typically runs from 10pm to 7am and is available for anyone who needs extra support or respite during the night.
Personal and practical support
Overnight care covers many daytime visit tasks, adapted to overnight needs, including personal care, companionship, repositioning, and general reassurance.
Family respite
Overnight care gives family members or daytime carers the rest they need, while offering reassurance that someone is present and ready to help.
Medication management
Recording every step and following clear procedures, we can administer prescribed medicines, prepare doses or offer gentle reminders.
A consistent presence
We provide consistent support whenever you need it. Day or night, you can expect the same compassionate, skilled approach. When you choose us for your care, our support goes even further, as every act of care helps fund local hospice services.
A little longer
We don't rush our visits – every moment is used to support you.
Notice the small things
Paying attention to the details isn't extra, it's what compassionate care relies on.
Carry it together
Care can feel heavy, but you don’t need to do it alone – we're here to help.
Move with meaning
All our care is intentional, with comfort and dignity at its heart.

“Nestwell Home Care (formerly Martlets Care) professionals provide a great quality service of care to those who need assistance from their own home. I could not wish for better care to be provided to me and it has promoted my independence to continue to be able to live at home.”
“My Care Professionals from Nestwell Home Care (formerly Martlets Care) are amazing. I look forward to them coming as they help you with housework due to not being able to walk as far anymore. They help with lots of jobs I would no longer be able to do if it wasn’t for their assistance, which is a big relief to my worries.”
What I love about my job is the people you get to meet and the conversations you have. The difference you’re making to someone’s day….. it is priceless
“The care I have been provided by Nestwell Home Care (formerly Martlets Care) has been excellent. It gives me something to look forward to each day and I enjoy spending time with the superb Care Professionals. Having carers assisting me at home has improved my quality of life and enabled me to remain independent at home for as long as possible. It also gives me the company I miss greatly from my late Husband.”
I have always worked in Recruitment, but after leaving that to look after my children, and then looking after my Nan for a few years, I realised caring for others was something I could do.
Working for Nestwell Home Care (formerly Martlets Care) is very rewarding, knowing that I make a difference to someone’s day however small, is heartwarming.
-Nestwell have a great team of people in all areas, they all have the same ethos for person centred care. We are well supported, and all take care of each other, as well as our clients. Also, knowing that all profits are going back into the Hospice is a huge bonus too.
“My care professionals always assess my needs carefully and are never invasive. They always ask my permission and suggest ideas to help me. Due to my poor eyesight, I need help with admin tasks and reading letters. They help me input alerts into my Alexa so I know who is visiting me and when. I would not otherwise be able to do this so I am very grateful to have Nestwell Home Care (formerly Martlets Care).”
