Questions families ask

Is a full-time carer still self-employed?

Not always. With a live-in or full-time arrangement, check the carer's employment status. HMRC's free online tool, Check Employment Status for Tax, can help.

Is live-in care an alternative to a care home?

For many people, yes. It keeps them at home with one-to-one help. Whether it suits depends on their needs, the home, and whether there's a spare bedroom.

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.
