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 worth asking

Questions families ask

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.

Can a carer collect Dad from hospital?

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

Why are some listings marked Sponsored?

Providers can pay to appear first in their area. They're always labelled, and only shown first if they offer what you asked for.

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.
