About personal care

What it usually involves

Help with washing, bathing or showering, dressing, shaving, hair, going to the toilet and continence care, done in a way that protects dignity.

How a self-employed carer can help

They can come at times that suit your loved one rather than a rota, and it's the same person each time, which matters for something this personal. Lifting with equipment such as a hoist needs training, so ask about it.

Questions worth asking

How much experience do you have with personal care?
Have you had moving and handling training?
How do you help someone feel comfortable and in control?
Are you happy to be shown how Mum likes things done?
Are you happy to be around pets?

Questions families ask

What if Mum would prefer a female carer?

That's a completely reasonable thing to ask for. You can choose by gender when you search.

Do we need special equipment?

Not always. An occupational therapist, usually arranged through the council or GP, can look at the home and suggest grab rails, a shower seat or other aids. These are often free or low cost.

Why are some listings marked Sponsored?

Providers can pay to appear first in their area. They're always labelled, and only shown first if they offer what you asked for.

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.
