Can housework and care be in the same visit?
Yes. Just agree enough time so the care itself is never rushed.

Light housework keeps on top of things during a care visit. A cleaner does a more thorough job. Many families use both.

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.
