About shopping and errands
What it usually involves
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.
Questions worth asking
- Will you take Mum with you, or shop for her?
- How do you handle money and receipts?
- Do you drive?
- Are you happy to be around pets?

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.
Do you check the carers?
No. We're an introduction service: carers tell us about their experience and checks themselves, and these are shown as self-declared. After an introduction we send short guides on what to check and how.

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.
