Find a home carer in Liskeard
Compare local carers who have passed our ID, right to work, DBS and interview checks, read reviews from families nearby and contact them directly.
Checked means we check identity and right to work and require an enhanced DBS certificate before a carer can use the platform, and carers record an online interview about their experience and approach to care. We do not check qualifications, training or references. You choose your carer, and remain responsible for checking their skills, training and documents suit your needs. See what we check, and what you check.

“Grace has a very mature and positive approach to care and caring for vulnerable people and brought a ray of sunshine to what was a dark period in our life.”
Grace is a lovely younger carer who arrived to help me care for my husband whilst my regular carer was on holiday. My husband was at end-of-life Alzheimer’s disease and although Grace’s time with us was cut short due to my husband’s rapid decline she still managed to help with care for my husband, while supporting me…

“She was on-time, immediately helping us to travel to an overnight hotel. She stayed overnight and kept a gentle watch on me until the next day.”
Linda was really great. I needed to be collected from hospital post-surgery, and to have support for the first 24 hours. Even before meeting her communication was very professional and friendly. Very attentive to my potential needs. As a former nurse, I was attracted to her wide range of skills and experience. She…

“She looked after my mum, who can be incredibly challenging, so well and so gently, and we always felt confident that my mum was getting the best care available.”
Dace Liepa came to us just before Christmas 2022, and took care of my mother, who has acute vascular dementia, as a 24-hour live-in carer, until mid-February 2023, taking a week off in early February.

The Checks
How Do We Check
Private Carers?
ID and right to work
We check identity online with Yoti, a digital identity service, and right to work in the UK with a Home Office share code or passport.
Enhanced DBS Certificate
We ask carers on the platform to hold an accepted criminal-record check (Enhanced DBS issued within the last 2 years, DBS Update Service, Scottish PVG or Access NI), with renewal or rechecks depending on the accepted route.
Online Interview
Every carer records an online interview, in their own time, so we can understand their experience, communication style and approach to care. This is not a clinical assessment or a guarantee of suitability. Check a carer’s skills, experience and training with them before booking.
PrimeCarers is an introductory platform and does not provide, manage, supervise or clinically assess care.
Clients remain responsible for checking carer documentation, interviewing carers, checking suitability for their specific needs, and agreeing the scope of care directly with the carer.
