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 worth asking
- Have you looked after someone with dementia before?
- What do you do if someone becomes confused or upset?
- How would you let us know if something seemed different?
- Who covers when you're ill or on holiday?
- Are you happy to be around pets?

Helpful guides
Questions families ask
My mum doesn't want a stranger in the house. What can we do?
That's very common. Many families start small, with an hour or two of company, a cup of tea or a walk, and the same person each time. Once they've become a familiar face, they can gradually help with more.
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.
How does an introduction work?
Choose up to five people from your shortlist and confirm your email. We send each of them your enquiry, and send you their email and phone number, so you can talk directly.

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.
