The weekly shop, collecting prescriptions, trips to the post office, returning library books, and the small jobs that pile up.

How a self-employed carer can help

They can shop for your loved one or, better still, with them, which keeps them involved and gets them out of the house.

Helpful guides

Questions families ask

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.

How should we handle money for shopping?

Keep it simple: a set amount of cash, receipts kept, and a notebook to jot it down. Never share a PIN or bank card details.

What do you do with my details?

We use them only to make your introductions and send any guides you've agreed to. They're deleted after 12 months without activity, or sooner if you ask.

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.
