Helpful guides
Questions families ask
Can a carer cook to a special diet?
Many can. Explain it clearly, and if there's advice from a speech and language therapist about swallowing, share it.
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.
