Questions families ask

Can a carer drive Mum in her own car?

Only if they're insured to drive it. Check with the insurer before the first trip.

Will the carer come into the appointment?

If your loved one is happy for them to, yes. The doctor will only share details with the carer if your loved one agrees.

What do you do with my details?

We use them only to make your introductions and send any guides you've agreed to. They're deleted after 12 months without activity, or sooner if you ask.

Why I started Carers & Cleaners

When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
