About help after a hospital stay

What it usually involves

Help in the first days and weeks at home: settling back in, meals, washing and dressing, shopping, collecting prescriptions, and someone checking in while confidence returns.

How a self-employed carer can help

Visits can often be arranged quickly, then reduced as your loved one recovers. Clinical needs such as wound care are for the district nurses.

Questions families ask

Can a carer collect Dad from hospital?

Many can. If they're driving, ask whether their car insurance covers business use.

When should we start looking?

Before discharge, if you can. Hospitals can discharge at short notice, and having someone lined up makes the first days much easier.

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.
