In nursing homes, the presence of a nurse to watch over the residents at night is not required. The residents' sleep is thereby usually in the hands of a nursing assistant and a hospital housekeeper. It is thanks to their skills that they assure the continuity of care and the safety of the elderly people, without overstepping the boundaries of their roles.
