Helpful guides

Questions families ask

What if Dad keeps skipping meals?

A carer can encourage him, and sitting down to eat together often helps. Losing weight without trying is worth mentioning to the GP.

Is one visit a day enough?

It depends on the person. Some families find a hot lunch plus a tea left ready works well; others need two shorter visits.

Why are some listings marked Sponsored?

Providers can pay to appear first in their area. They're always labelled, and only shown first if they offer what you asked for.

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.
