Questions families ask

Do we pay for travel time?

Agree it up front. Some carers charge mileage or for time spent travelling.

Can a carer collect prescriptions?

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

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.
