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.

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.
