Common questions from Newcastle upon Tyne families

Can the carer drive?

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

Do you cover holidays and emergencies?

Yes. Each long-term placement has a named relief carer who covers the primary carer’s 2-week breaks every 6–8 weeks. Our 24/7 on-call team handles anything urgent.

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.
