About Us

Who are we?

A few years ago my family were looking for care for my grandfather. We tried agencies, but we found that they just sent over the carer that suited them. This led to a stream of poor carers and when we did find a carer that we liked, they swapped her out for someone new because of scheduling reasons. I started PrimeCarers to make it easy and safe for people like you to find and work with fantastic independent carers without all the hassle and risk that we faced

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We're here to help.

PrimeCarers is an online platform that connects individuals who require care and support with professional and experienced carers and personal assistants, who are often more cost-effective than agency carers. They are also vetted by PrimeCarers, ensuring a safe and reliable working relationship. Our platform provides a hassle-free and efficient way to find and hire compassionate carers who offer person-centred care tailored to your unique needs. To get started, you can easily search for carers in your area and contact them directly. Our advanced matching algorithm will also suggest potential matches based on your preferences, and we will share your requirements with them so they can get in touch with you. From there, you can communicate with them, assess their suitability, and eventually hire the best carer for your needs. Our platform offers a simple and effective solution to finding the right carer for you.

PrimeCarers provides a host of benefits for those seeking care, including:

  • Choice: You have the freedom to choose the carer(s) that best fit your preferences and needs.
  • Control: You can communicate directly with your carer, without having to rely on a third party to convey your needs.
  • Continuity: With the same carer every time, you can build a rapport and establish a consistent level of care.
  • Cost: You can save between 30% to 50% compared to traditional agency care, while still receiving high-quality, experienced care.

Our platform provides an intuitive, user-friendly experience that enables you to easily find and hire qualified carers who can deliver personalized care and support in the comfort of your own home.

Our platform allows you to easily search for and find carers who can provide specific services tailored to your unique needs. We handle all the contracting, payments, administration, and insurance on your behalf, so you don't have to worry about any of the administrative hassle. And if anything goes wrong, we are there to provide support and help resolve any issues that may arise.

Our platform provides access to a diverse and skilled pool of carers who specialise in various areas of care, including but not limited to mobility assistance, medication management, and meal preparation. These carers are able to provide a comprehensive range of services that cater to your unique care needs, whether you require live-in care, hourly care, overnight care, respite care, and can deliver on all of your needs, from personal care, dementia care, companionship, to more specialised care services like ventilator management. With our platform, you can easily connect with a carer who has the expertise and experience to provide personalized care and support that meets your specific requirements.

Working with a traditional care agency can often be expensive and impersonal, and you have little control over who provides your care. Additionally, the quality of care may not always meet your expectations, as carers may not be as experienced or well-trained as you would like. With PrimeCarers, you have the ability to search for and choose your own carer based on your specific needs and preferences. Our platform offers a more flexible and personalised approach to care, while still providing more affordable rates and fairer pay for the carers. Finally, we also handle all the administrative tasks such as contracting, payments, and insurance, making the process hassle-free for you.

Homecare provides the opportunity for individuals to remain in the comfort of their own home while receiving personalised care and support. This can lead to a better quality of life, greater independence, and increased feelings of security and familiarity. Homecare can also be more affordable and less disruptive to daily routines than care homes. Additionally, individuals with memory issues may experience significant worsening of their symptoms if they are taken out of their home environment. Homecare can provide a familiar and comfortable setting that can help to mitigate these issues.

Domiciliary care, also known as home care, refers to the provision of care and support services that are provided in an individual's own home. This type of care can be broken down into several categories, including hourly care, live-in care, and respite care.

  • Live-in care involves carers living with individuals in their own homes and providing continuous support and care. This type of care is ideal for individuals who require more intensive support, such as those with complex medical conditions, disabilities, or dementia.
  • Hourly care involves carers visiting individuals in their own homes for a set amount of time each day or week to provide support with daily activities, such as dressing, washing, meal preparation, and medication management. This type of care is ideal for individuals who require support to maintain their independence but do not require around-the-clock care.
  • Respite care involves providing temporary care and support to individuals who usually receive care from a family member or regular carer. This type of care allows the primary caregiver to take a break and recharge, while ensuring that their loved one is still receiving the care and support they need.

In all cases, domiciliary care services are designed to support individuals to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible, while also improving their quality of life and promoting their overall wellbeing.
