Questions families ask

What about hospital transport?

The NHS offers non-emergency patient transport to people with a medical need for it. Ask the GP or the hospital.

Who pays for parking and mileage?

Agree it beforehand so there are no awkward moments later.

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.
