About live-in care
What it usually involves
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

Questions worth asking
- How long do you usually stay before a break?

- How much time off do you need each day?
- What do you need from the room and the household?
- Are you happy to be around pets?

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.
