Common questions from Washington 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.

Can the carer drive?

Most of our Washington 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.

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.
