About the Night Visiting Team

The Night Visiting Service is available to service users who are unable to be left unattended for the whole night.

The team consists of  Home Care Assistants who are supported by a designated manager working across the whole borough of Doncaster. Based at Barclay Court, our specialist team pride themselves on working closely with multi agencies, to provide a holistic approach to home care. The Night Care Team provides a service to adults on a long term basis depending on their individual needs.
