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.

Can the carer help with repeat prescriptions?

Many will. The pharmacy or the NHS App can make ordering easier, with your loved one's agreement.

Why are some listings marked Sponsored?

Providers can pay to appear first in their area. They're always labelled, and only shown first if they offer what you asked for.

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.
