Questions families ask
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.
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.
What does self-declared mean?
The provider has told us, but we haven't seen any documents. It's fine to ask to see certificates or proof of insurance.

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.
