Helpful guides
Questions families ask
How can we make medication simpler?
Ask the pharmacist about blister packs and a medicines review. A simple chart by the kettle helps everyone.
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 does self-declared mean?
The provider has told us, but we haven't seen any documents. It's fine to ask to see certificates or proof of insurance.

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.
