About dementia care

What it usually involves

Someone familiar who comes at the same times each week and gets to know your loved one: their routines, what they enjoy, and what unsettles them. That might mean company and conversation, help with meals and drinks, gentle prompts to wash and dress, a walk or a trip to a club, and noticing how they are from one week to the next.

How a self-employed carer can help

Their support is built around the person, not a rota. Often the biggest help is simply seeing the same face every visit. They aren't nurses, so clinical tasks such as injections or wound dressings are usually beyond what they can do.

Questions families ask

Is there help with the cost?

Attendance Allowance (Pension Age Disability Payment in Scotland) isn't means-tested, and a dementia diagnosis can also bring a Council Tax reduction. The local council can assess what support your loved one needs.

Will Mum have the same carer each time?

With a self-employed carer, usually yes: you're agreeing things directly with one person. Ask who covers holidays and illness, so that cover is someone she has met.

Do you check the carers?

No. We're an introduction service: carers tell us about their experience and checks themselves, and these are shown as self-declared. After an introduction we send short guides on what to check and how.

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.
