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.

How can we make medication simpler?

Ask the pharmacist about blister packs and a medicines review. A simple chart by the kettle helps everyone.

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.
