How these carers were chosen

Of the 13 carers near Caerphilly with a photo on their profile, 12 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.

Overnight care and live-in care
In Osei’s words

“I once worked with the same client for a whole year, and that steadiness says a lot about how I approach care. I'm based in Cwmbran and offer hourly, live-in and overnight support. People tell me I explain things clearly and stay calm, which matters when routines need to be understood and trusted.”

Overnight care and live-in care
In Clarieta’s words

“Care found me through hospital wards rather than a career plan, and it stuck. Over 16 years I moved from support work into more advanced nursing duties, which taught me how much steadiness matters when someone is frightened or in pain. That grounding still shapes how I work today, based in Newport and offering hourly, overnight and live-in care.”

Outside work, Clarieta lists walking, socialising, reading and watching TV.

In Katharine’s words

“Painting and reading are how I unwind, though after fourteen years of hourly care in Pontypridd, I still find the work itself deeply rewarding. I have supported people living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis, among many other conditions, and I have learned that every person's needs are different, so I never assume one approach fits all. Day to day, my work covers the practical and the personal.”

Overnight care
In Tim’s words

“My working week these days is built around homecare, spending time one to one with people in their own homes rather than in a residential setting. That's where I feel I do my best work: sitting with someone over a cup of tea, hearing their stories, and making sure they feel like themselves in familiar surroundings.”

Experience Tim writes about

  • Dementia
  • Parkinson's

Outside work, Tim lists walking, gardening, DIY and music.

Overnight care
In Hannah’s words

“When I'm not working, you'll usually find me out walking, dancing, or quietly working through a puzzle or a knitting project. I bring that same calm, unhurried approach to my care work, offering hourly and overnight visiting care across Cardiff. Fifteen years spent working across supported living, care homes and nursing homes has given me a steady, adaptable way of working, whatever a household needs.”

“When I am not working, I like to spend time painting or pottering in the garden, and I find those quiet, unhurried activities suit the way I approach care too. I am based in Pontypridd and offer hourly and overnight care, and over the past two years I have supported people with a wide range of needs, including dementia, Parkinson's, stroke recovery, anxiety and depression, and end of life care. Companionship sits at the heart of what I do.”

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Caerphilly

The carers above have the strongest records near Caerphilly, 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 Caerphilly

    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 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 Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly, 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 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 £18.50 to £25.80 an hour, with our fee included. Across Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly works through what a week of visits comes to.

10 of the 11 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.

The carers on this page all list English only, but the search can filter by language across a wider area, and each profile lists the languages the carer speaks.

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 Caerphilly is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
