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

Is any help free after a hospital stay?

Often, yes. Ask the ward about reablement: short-term support at home to help someone get back on their feet. In England it's free for up to six weeks; elsewhere, ask the hospital or the council.

Can a carer collect Dad from hospital?

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

Is it free for families?

Yes, completely. We never take a cut of what you pay a carer or cleaner.

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.
