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.

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.
