How did you choose the best home carers in Cambridgeshire?

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 Cambridgeshire, 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.

Are the carers on this page vetted?

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.

Can we meet a carer before booking?

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.

How much do the best home carers in Cambridgeshire charge?

The carers profiled on this page charge £20 to £25 an hour, with our fee included. Across Cambridgeshire carers charge £20 to £22 an hour, typically £20. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Cambridgeshire works through what a week of visits comes to.

Are there carers in Cambridgeshire with dementia experience?

11 of the 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.

Do any of the carers in Cambridgeshire speak a language other than English?

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Bengali and Romanian 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.

What if the first carer is not right?

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.

Can one of these carers stay overnight or live in?

Some can, and their profile says so. Of the carers profiled here, 3 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 Cambridgeshire is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.

Sally H.

Client rating: No reviews on PrimeCarers yet
Hourly rate: £25 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 425 hours of care

In Sally’s words

“I see care as a privilege, and after twenty years doing this work in Clacton-on-Sea, I still mean that. I tend to see the people I support as friends rather than clients, and I find that being a bit older and more experienced often puts people at ease when they are getting used to having help at home. I genuinely enjoy sitting down and joining in with whatever someone likes doing, whether that is a quiet chat over a cup of tea or a proper afternoon out.”

Donna Elaine A.

Client rating: No reviews on PrimeCarers yet
Hourly rate: £20 an hour, our fee included

In Donna’s words

“Families often tell me I feel more like a familiar face than a visiting carer, someone who remembers what matters to them and just gets on with things quietly and properly. I have been offering hourly care around Peterborough for 17 years now, and in that time I have supported people with all sorts of needs, from dementia and stroke recovery to Parkinson's, arthritis and end of life care.”

Hena B.

Client rating: No reviews on PrimeCarers yet
Hourly rate: £25 an hour, our fee included

In Hena’s words

“Music and dancing have always been part of my life, and I still make time for both whenever I can, along with cooking, baking and losing an afternoon to a good book. I bring that same energy into my care work. I would rather a visit feel lively and genuine than dutiful, and clients often tell me the house feels brighter once the radio is on and something is cooking.”

Alero N.

Client rating: No reviews on PrimeCarers yet
Hourly rate: £20 an hour, our fee included
Also offers: Overnight care

In Alero’s words

“One family I supported told their father's care home how much they valued the way I had looked after him in his final days, and asked that my name be read out at his funeral. That kind of thank you has stayed with me through eighteen years of care work. I offer hourly, visiting and overnight care across the City of Peterborough, and I have come to believe that a calm, familiar presence often matters as much as anything written on a care plan.”
