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.
Do we provide the cleaning products?
Usually, for housework during care visits. Agree it at the start.
What does self-declared mean?
The provider has told us, but we haven't seen any documents. It's fine to ask to see certificates or proof of insurance.

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.
