Maz would take mum out in her wheelchair either to the shops or to the village pond to feed the ducks which mum loved to do.

Since Stella has been looking after Margaret her health and mobility has improved significantly from hardly being able to take a few steps to being able to go out for walks and climb the stairs.

Vetted means we check identity and right to work and require an enhanced DBS certificate before a carer can use the platform, and we interview carers about their experience and approach to care. 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.

She is a wonderful, kind and considerate carer who looked after my mother with great compassion and patience. She sat and talked to her at night and saw to her every need. Guylène was there to help at the end of my mom’s life and was very helpful and practical with her support.

The Checks

How Do We Check
Private Carers?

Full ID Check

A Full ID check including right to work in the UK. We use a government approved service called Yoti to verify carer ID applications online.

Enhanced DBS Certificate

We ask carers on the platform to hold an enhanced DBS certificate on the update service, and we re-check those certificates against the update service for any new items.

Professional Interview

We interview every carer online to 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.
