A carer who lives in your loved one's home, usually for a few weeks at a time, helping through the day and there at night.

How a self-employed carer can help

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.
