Helpful guides

Questions families ask

Can a carer collect prescriptions?

Usually, yes. Let the pharmacy know who will be collecting.

Is it better to shop together?

If your loved one is up to it, yes: it's an outing and they get to choose. On harder days, a list works fine.

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.
