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.

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.

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.
