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

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.

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.

Is it free for families?

Yes, completely. We never take a cut of what you pay a carer or cleaner.

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.
