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.
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 it free for families?
Yes, completely. We never take a cut of what you pay a carer or cleaner.

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.
