About companionship and sitting

What it usually involves

Regular visits for company: a chat over a cuppa, a game of cards, a walk, reading the paper together, or simply being there so someone isn't on their own all day. Sitting can also mean staying with someone while a family carer goes out.

How a self-employed carer can help

The same person each visit, so a real friendship can grow. Many will happily make a drink or a sandwich while they're there. If they notice something worrying, they'll let you know.

Questions families ask

How long is a companionship visit?

Whatever you agree. Many families start with an hour or two, once or twice a week. Some carers have a minimum visit length, so it's worth asking.

What if they don't get on?

It happens. Start with a short first visit, ask how it went, and don't be afraid to try someone else. You can search and ask for new introductions at any time.

Can you tell me when someone joins near me?

Yes. Join the waiting list and we'll email you as soon as someone covering your area joins.

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.
