Chosen by PrimeCarers from carers’ profiles and client reviews  ·  Updated October 2026

How these carers were chosen

Of the 10 carers near Armagh with a photo on their profile, 10 have a studio portrait, an hourly rate and a profile full enough to quote. The six below are the strongest of them on three measures.

  1. 1

    What clients said

    Rating and number of reviews come first. Reviews come from clients who booked through PrimeCarers, screened before they appear and never edited; references carers have added from past clients are not verified.

  2. 2

    Their record with us

    How reliably they have worked through PrimeCarers, how long they have been caring, and how many hours of care they have given.

  3. 3

    A profile worth reading

    A clear portrait and enough written about their work to judge them by. The words under each name are the carer’s, and we have only shortened them.

In Wendy’s words

“When something unexpected happens, I deal with it slowly and calmly rather than panicking, and that steadiness has carried me through forty years of caring for both children and adults. Over that time I have supported people through dementia, stroke, Parkinson's, cancer, arthritis and osteoporosis, as well as anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, and I have sat with families through end of life care too.”

I cannot exaggerate the effect she has had on his quality of life and his daily mood. Wendy is a capable and caring lady who took the time to build a genuine relationship with my father and he sings her praises on an almost daily basis! I have found Wendy straight forward and trustworthy in every aspect of her job. She is discrete and reliable and her help has been invaluable to my family.

Overnight care
In Gemma’s words

“Between my studies as a student nurse, my shifts with the Trust and extra agency work each week, my days are full. I would not have it any other way. I have spent 14 years working in care around Antrim, and what I enjoy most has always been the company side of things: a proper chat, a shared meal, or a walk together if the weather allows. That long career, paired with my nursing studies now, gives me a steady head and a real fondness for people.”

In Olawande’s words

“I split my week between hourly visits, overnight stays and live-in care across Belfast City, and what I enjoy most is the quieter part of the job, simply sitting with someone and listening until they feel at ease. I have worked in care for seven years and speak English, French and Yoruba, which has helped me connect with a real mix of people and families.”

Overnight care
In Ariela’s words

“Clients often tell me I bring a calm, quiet energy into their homes, the kind that puts them at ease rather than adding to their day. One gentleman I care for is known for being verbally sharp with most of the team, but I noticed early on that too much talking or pressure made him tense. Having seen my father-in-law struggle with stress after his own stroke, I understood what was happening.”

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Armagh

The carers above have the strongest records near Armagh, but the right one for your family depends on the visits you need, so start from those.

  1. 1

    Write down the visits you need

    Half an hour
    What time of day, how long each visit, and what has to happen in it: getting up and washed, tablets, a meal, a walk to the shops. Add anything that has gone wrong before. This becomes your first message to every carer.
  2. 2

    Shortlist two or three carers near Armagh

    Free
    For visits, a short journey matters, because the early and late calls are the ones a long drive puts at risk. Look at where each carer is based, then read their reviews for specific things they did.
  3. 3

    Talk to each one

    This week
    A video call or a visit of twenty minutes is enough. Use the questions below, and let your relative meet them if they can, because how the two of them get on matters as much as experience.
  4. 4

    Start with a trial fortnight

    Weeks 1 and 2
    Agree the visit times, the rate and how you will hear from the carer after each visit. The booking, the agreement between you and the carer, and payments are all set up on PrimeCarers.

What they charge

What the best home carers in Armagh charge

Each carer sets their own rate. The carers profiled above charge £18.80 to £30 an hour with our fee included, a little above the typical £20 for Armagh.

Hourly rates for visits in ArmaghOur fee included
  1. The carers on this page6 carers£18.80 to £30
  2. Carers across ArmaghThe middle half of rates£19 to £22
  3. A home care agencyTypical charge for a visit£28 to £35

From carers' own profiles, October 2026. Agency figures are the range we quote across the site.

A visit is charged by the hour, and most families start with one or two visits a day. The cost of home care in Armagh works through what a week comes to, and funding care covers the help available from the council and the NHS.

What we check

What every carer on this page has passed, and what is yours to check

PrimeCarers is an introductory service. We check their identity, right to work and enhanced DBS, and they record an online interview; whether they are right for your relative is your decision, and the profiles above are there to help you make it.

Enhanced DBS, renewed every 2 years

Checked before a carer appears: an enhanced DBS (or PVG in Scotland, Access NI in Northern Ireland) issued within the last 2 years, and it has to be renewed every 2 years while they work through PrimeCarers.

Identity and right to work

Photo identity verified, and the right to work in the UK checked, before the profile goes live.

An online interview

A recorded online interview, answered in the carer’s own time, about their experience and how they approach care. It is not a test of skills or a guarantee of suitability.

What we do not verify

Training certificates, qualifications and references. Carers can list these on their profile; ask about them when you talk, and ask to see anything that matters to your relative’s care.

How we check carers sets out each check in detail.

Questions

Questions families in Armagh ask about choosing a home carer

By what their clients said first, then by their record. We start from every carer who offers visits and is based within about an hour of Armagh, and keep those with a studio portrait and a profile that says enough about them to be useful. They are ordered by their client rating and how many reviews they have, then by whether a client wrote a review we can quote, then by their record with PrimeCarers, their years of experience and the care they have given through us. 1 of the 6 carers profiled here have client reviews, averaging 5.0 out of 5.

Yes. Before a carer appears on PrimeCarers they have passed an enhanced DBS check, an identity check and a right-to-work check, and recorded an online interview. That DBS must have been issued within the last 2 years, and it has to be renewed every 2 years. Their skills, qualifications and training are for you to check with them. How we check carers sets out each step.

Yes, and it is worth doing. Message the carers you like through PrimeCarers with the visits you need and anything that has been difficult, then arrange a video call or a visit. Talking to a carer is free and nothing is booked until you say so. Most families speak to two or three carers before choosing.

The carers profiled on this page charge £18.80 to £30 an hour, with our fee included. Across Armagh carers charge £19 to £22 an hour, typically £20. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Armagh works through what a week of visits comes to.

9 of the 10 carers on this page list dementia on their profile. A tick on a profile is the carer's own description, so ask each one about the people with dementia they have cared for and what they found hardest. Dementia care at home covers what good support looks like at each stage.

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Afrikaans, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Yoruba as well as English, and the search can filter by language. For someone whose first language has come back to them with age or dementia, a carer who shares it can make visits much easier.

Then you choose another, and the same search shows who else is available. For visits, notice under the contract is 48 hours, and PrimeCarers makes no charge to stop or change carer. It helps to agree at the start that the first couple of weeks are a trial for both of you. Our team can help you find someone else in the meantime.

Some can, and their profile says so. Of the carers profiled here, 5 also offer overnight care and 2 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Armagh is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
