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?
Who covers your breaks, and can we meet them?

What do you need from the room and the household?
Are you happy to be around pets?

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.

What does a live-in carer need?

Their own bedroom, use of the kitchen and bathroom, a daily break, and food or a food allowance. Agree the details at the start.

Is it free for families?

Yes, completely. We never take a cut of what you pay a carer or cleaner.

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.
