Carers
Here is information and general advice on organising personal and domestic care at home, including price, quality, health and safety, training and contracts.
Private agencies can provide carers to help you with personal care, housework, shopping and pension collection.
The amount each agency charges is different depending on whether you want someone to help you with personal care (washing and dressing) or with domestic help (housework and shopping). It also depends on whether you want help at the weekend or on a weekday and before or after 7pm.
