Questions families ask

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.

Who buys the food?

Agree it at the start: either you do the shopping, or the carer does and you pay them back against receipts.

Can you tell me when someone joins near me?

Yes. Join the waiting list and we'll email you as soon as someone covering your area joins.

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.
