Questions families ask

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.

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.

Do you check the carers?

No. We're an introduction service: carers tell us about their experience and checks themselves, and these are shown as self-declared. After an introduction we send short guides on what to check and how.

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.
