About end of life support

What it usually involves

Comfort and company in someone's final weeks or months at home: help with washing and changing, mouth care, gentle repositioning, sitting with them, and giving the family time to rest or simply be together.

How a self-employed carer can help

A calm, steady presence alongside the GP, district nurses and hospice team, who look after pain relief and clinical care. A good carer supports the whole family, not just the person who is ill.

Helpful guides

Questions families ask

Is any help free?

Often, yes. In England and Wales, someone nearing the end of life may qualify for fast-track NHS Continuing Healthcare; ask the GP or district nurse. Benefits can also be claimed quickly under special rules.

Is there support for us as a family?

Yes. Hospices often support the whole family, including after a death. Your local hospice is a good place to start.

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.
