Common questions from Canvey Island families

What if we don’t click with the carer?

We re-match within a week, no charge. Our coordinator visits in person to ensure the right fit, and we keep two backup profiles ready.

Do we need a spare bedroom?

Yes — a private room with a bed and lockable storage. Carers also need a meal allowance and 2-hour daily break.

How long does it take to start?

Most Canvey Island live-in placements start within 7–10 days. Urgent cases (e.g. hospital discharge from Basildon University Hospital) can start within 48 hours.

Can the carer drive?

Most of our Canvey Island live-in carers drive. We can specify driving requirement at the matching stage if your relative still uses their car or attends regular appointments.
