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.

Do we pay for travel time?

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

Can you tell me when someone joins near me?

Yes. Join the waiting list and we'll email you as soon as someone covering your area joins.

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.
