Questions families ask

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.

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.

What does self-declared mean?

The provider has told us, but we haven't seen any documents. It's fine to ask to see certificates or proof of insurance.

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.
