Going with your loved one to the GP, hospital, dentist or hairdresser, and on outings to a café, club, place of worship or the seaside.

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.
