Helpful guides
Questions families ask
What's the difference between light housework and cleaning?
Light housework keeps on top of things during a care visit. A cleaner does a more thorough job. Many families use both.
Can the carer do housework while Mum rests?
Yes, that's often a good use of the time.
Do you check the carers?
No. We're an introduction service: carers tell us about their experience and checks themselves, and these are shown as self-declared. After an introduction we send short guides on what to check and how.

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.
