Questions families ask

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.

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.

Can you tell me when someone joins near me?

Yes. Join the waiting list and we'll email you as soon as someone covering your area joins.

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.
