Caregivers
Elderly care, recovery after surgery, special needs and overnight companionship — in your own home, by someone who has been identity-verified, police-cleared and referenced by phone.
Who we care for
Companionship, mobility support, bathing and dressing, meals, medication reminders and a written daily log the family can read.
Short-term cover through the weeks when someone cannot yet manage stairs, cooking or the bathroom alone.
Matched to the specific needs — mobility, communication, routine, sensory — rather than to a generic job title.
Overnight presence for someone who wanders, falls, or needs turning and toileting during the night.

Questions
You cannot know it from a CV, which is why we phone previous employers and ask directly about temperament and patience, not just competence. We also ask for a daily written log and we call at day 7 and day 30. If something is wrong, that is usually when it shows.
Yes, and for care placements we recommend it. A two-week paid trial, on a proper contract, tells you more than any interview. If it does not work, the 3-month guarantee still applies.
No, and any agency that says yes is selling you a problem. Round-the-clock care needs two people on shifts, or one live-in caregiver plus night cover. A single person working 24 hours is neither legal nor safe for the person being cared for.
Their needs, their routine, and the hours you want covered.
