Day & Night Home Nursing in London

Private nursing support at home, delivered by NMC-registered nurses across North and Central London


About Our Day & Night Home Nursing

Our day and night home nursing service provides private nursing support for people who need a higher level of clinical care at home.

For many families, the priority is simple: keeping a loved one safe, comfortable and well cared for in familiar surroundings, while knowing that experienced nursing support is close at hand. At Golders Green Nursing, we provide nurse-led care at home across North and Central London, with support tailored around each client’s medical needs, routines and family preferences.

This service is suitable for clients whose needs go beyond standard home care, including those recovering from hospital, living with complex conditions, requiring regular clinical observations, or needing nursing input alongside personal care and daily support.

Where appropriate, our day and night nursing can be combined with experienced carers, district nursing visits or live-in support, creating a safe and practical care package around the individual.

All nursing care is overseen by our senior nursing team and documented using the PASS digital care platform, helping families stay informed and giving clear visibility over the care being provided.

Day Nurse Care (08:00–20:00)

Day nursing provides clinical support during waking hours, typically as part of a longer shift or planned daily routine.

A day nurse can help with:

  • Monitoring general health and wellbeing
  • Medication administration and clinical observations
  • Liaising with GPs, consultants and other healthcare professionals
  • Supporting recovery after hospital discharge
  • Managing catheter, continence, wound or stoma needs
  • Supporting nutrition, hydration and mobility
  • Recognising early signs of deterioration
  • Reassuring family members and providing regular updates


Day nursing can be particularly helpful when a client’s condition is changing, when family members are worried about managing care alone, or when a safe hospital-to-home transition is needed.

Night Nurse Care (20:00–08:00)

Night nursing provides reassurance and clinical support through the night.

This may be suitable for clients who:

  • Need regular repositioning or pressure area care
  • Require overnight medication or symptom monitoring
  • Are unsettled, confused or at risk of falls overnight
  • Need catheter, continence or comfort support
  • Are receiving palliative or end of life care
  • Have recently returned home from hospital
  • Require close observation after a change in condition


Depending on the client’s needs, night support may involve a waking nurse, planned nursing visits, or a combined package of nurse-led care and experienced carers.

We will advise honestly on what level of support is appropriate, safe and proportionate.

How Our Day & Night Home Nursing Care Works

Arranging home nursing with Golders Green Nursing is straightforward. We take time to understand the situation properly, then recommend a care package that is safe, practical and appropriate.

Step 1: Initial Nursing Consultation

Contact us by phone or email and speak with a senior member of our team. We will listen to your situation, explain the options and advise whether home nursing, district nursing, home care, live-in care or a combined package may be most suitable.

Step 2: Home Assessment

Where appropriate, we arrange an assessment at home, in hospital or with the family. We review the client’s health needs, mobility, medication, home environment and current support. 

Step 3: Personalised Nursing Care Plan

We create a care plan tailored to the individual. This includes nursing needs, daily routines, medication support, risk management, escalation arrangements and family communication preferences.

Step 4: Care Begins

Your nurse, carer or combined care team begins support in line with the agreed plan. Care notes are recorded digitally using the PASS platform, giving clear visibility of the support being provided.

Step 5: Ongoing Review and Communication

Needs can change quickly, especially after hospital discharge or during palliative care. Our nursing team keeps the care plan under review, liaises with healthcare professionals where required, and keeps the family informed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Day & Night Home Care

What is day and night home nursing care?

Day and night home nursing is private nursing support provided in the client’s own home, either during the day, overnight, or as part of a wider 24-hour care package. It is suitable for people who need clinical input, closer monitoring or nursing support alongside personal care.

Is this the same as district nursing?

Not exactly. District nursing usually involves shorter nursing visits for specific clinical tasks, such as wound dressings, catheter care or injections. Day and night home nursing is broader and may involve longer nursing shifts, ongoing monitoring and a more comprehensive nursing care package.

Can you provide 24-hour nursing care at home?

In some circumstances, yes. Where continuous or round-the-clock support is needed, we will assess the situation carefully and advise on the safest and most practical arrangement. This may involve NMC-registered nurses, experienced carers, planned nursing visits, or a combination of these.

Can home nursing be arranged after hospital discharge?

Yes. We often support clients following a hospital stay, particularly where they need help with mobility, medication, wounds, catheter care, observations, nutrition, hydration or general recovery. We can work with the family and medical team to help make the return home safer and less stressful.

Do your nurses liaise with GPs and consultants?

Yes. Where appropriate, our nurses communicate with GPs, consultants, hospitals and other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care. We believe joined-up communication is essential, particularly where needs are complex or changing.

Is home nursing suitable for palliative or end of life care?

Yes. Home nursing can be very helpful for palliative and end of life care, particularly where the priority is comfort, dignity and remaining at home. Our nurses and carers work sensitively with families and other professionals to provide calm, compassionate support.

How quickly can home nursing start?

This depends on the client’s needs, location and the level of nursing support required. In urgent situations, such as hospital discharge or a sudden change in condition, we will always try to respond as quickly as possible.

What if we are not sure whether we need a nurse or a carer?

That is very common. Please contact us and we can talk through the situation with you. Sometimes a client needs a nurse; sometimes an experienced carer with nurse oversight is more appropriate; and sometimes the best solution is a combination of both.
