About respite care
What it usually involves
Someone stepping in so the family carer can rest, get to an appointment, see friends or go away. It can be a few hours a week, a regular day, or a longer block of time.
How a self-employed carer can help
Reliable cover at agreed times, from someone your loved one gets to know. For longer breaks, a carer who also does overnight or live-in care may be able to cover.
Questions worth asking
- Can you cover the same time every week?
- Would you stay overnight if needed?
- What would you like from me before I go out: the routine, contacts, medication notes?
- Are you happy to be around pets?

Questions families ask
How much notice does a respite carer need?
Agree it at the start. A regular slot is set once; for a holiday, ask a few weeks ahead.
Should the carer meet Mum before I go away?
Ideally, yes, a few times while you're there, so she knows them and they can learn her routine.
How does an introduction work?
Choose up to five people from your shortlist and confirm your email. We send each of them your enquiry, and send you their email and phone number, so you can talk directly.

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.
