Questions families ask

What if Mum refuses her tablets?

A carer should never force them. They should let the family know, and the GP or pharmacist can advise.

What's the difference between a reminder and giving medication?

With a reminder, the carer prompts and your loved one takes it themselves. Giving medication means the carer handles it. Agree which, and write it down.

What do you do with my details?

We use them only to make your introductions and send any guides you've agreed to. They're deleted after 12 months without activity, or sooner if you ask.

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.
