About overnight care

How a self-employed carer can help

Questions worth asking

- How do you charge if you're woken several times?

Questions families ask
What's the difference between a sleep-in and a waking night?
With a sleep-in, the carer goes to bed and gets up only if needed. With a waking night, they stay awake and alert all night. Sleep-ins usually cost less.
Can we try one or two nights a week first?
Yes. Many families start that way, so the family carer gets some unbroken sleep.

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.
