Common questions from Woodford families
How long does it take to start?
Most Woodford live-in placements start within 7–10 days. Urgent cases (e.g. hospital discharge from King George Hospital) can start within 48 hours.
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.
Can the carer drive?
Most of our Woodford live-in carers drive. We can specify driving requirement at the matching stage if your relative still uses their car or attends regular appointments.
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.
