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
One-to-one support that lets someone stay in their own home, with their own things and routines. Many live-in carers work in turns with a second carer who covers their breaks.
Questions worth asking
- How long do you usually stay before a break?
- Who covers your breaks, and can we meet them?
- 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?

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 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 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.
