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 families ask

What happens when the carer needs a break?

Usually a second carer takes over. Meet them before the changeover so it isn't a stranger arriving.

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.
