How these carers were chosen

Of the 53 carers near Brent with a photo on their profile, 49 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. Every review is from a client who booked through PrimeCarers, screened before it appears and never edited.

  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 Rochelle’s words

“My name is Rochelle. I am a confident residential care manager with a proven track record of excellent leadership and care skills. Having previously registered with CQC and gaining over 11 years of experience in health and social care, developing, training, motivating, and implementing good strategies to ensure quality care standards are being maintained.”

Rochelle has been amazing with my disabled brother. Carl is profoundly deaf, has severe lymphedema and learning difficulties. He can be quite a tricky customer, but he loves spending time with Rochelle. As well as helping him with household tasks and massaging his legs, she is also a wonderful companion: engaging him in conversation, playing games and even going on short outings. I couldn't recommend her more!

In Marise’s words

“When things get difficult, I stay calm. I know how to deal with emergency situations and exits, and my first job is always to reassure everybody around me. That steadiness has carried me through 15 years of care work in and around Wembley, offering hourly, overnight and live-in support to people with a wide range of needs.”

There are carers who simply perform tasks, and there are carers who truly care — Marise unquestionably belongs to the latter. Her kindness, commitment, and natural empathy made a lasting difference not only to our father, but to our entire family. I would recommend Marise without hesitation and to the highest possible degree.

In Angela’s words

“Care giver with five years of experience working with private client. Passionate about elder care. Charismatic, caring and calm. Able to provide both physical and emotional support to clients. Culturally sensitive. Willing to transport clients to appointments and events. I enjoy taking care of elder family members that made me go into the care job and would like to help others in this way.”

Angela has been a godsend for our 96yr old mum. She is honest, kind, thoughtful and is a good time keeper in spite of having a busy life herself. Mum always looked forward to her visits and her company when she cooked mum's evening meal. Since mum has been in hospital the last couple of weeks, Angela has frequently texted to see how things are.

In Joy’s words

“Caring for people has always felt natural to me, the sort of work where patience and steadiness matter more than anything else. Over 15 years of visiting and overnight care around Wembley, I have found that the quiet, everyday parts of the job, a shared cup of tea, a proper conversation, are often what clients remember most. I speak English and Luganda, which has helped me build an easy rapport with a wide range of families.”

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Brent

The carers above have the strongest records near Brent, 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 Brent

    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 the best home carers in Brent charge

Each carer sets their own rate. The carers profiled above charge £18.80 to £25 an hour with our fee included, a little above the typical £20 for Brent.

Hourly rates for visits in BrentOur fee included
  1. The carers on this page6 carers£18.80 to £25
  2. Carers across BrentThe 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 Brent 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 that a carer is safe to introduce and caring; 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 conversation with our team about their experience and how they approach care. It is not a test of clinical skills.

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 vet carers sets out each check in detail.

Questions

Questions families in Brent 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 45 minutes of Brent, 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. All 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 had an online interview with our team. That DBS must have been issued within the last 2 years, and it has to be renewed every 2 years. We check that a carer is caring; their skills, qualifications and training are for you to check with them. How we vet 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 £25 an hour, with our fee included. Across Brent 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 Brent works through what a week of visits comes to.

All 12 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 Czech, Kikuyu, Luganda, Serbian, Shona, Slovak, Spanish and Swahili 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, 4 also offer overnight care and 1 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Brent is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
