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

How these carers were chosen

Of the 53 carers near Cheshire with a photo on their profile, 51 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 Rodrigo’s words

“My week in Wigan can look quite different from one day to the next: a few hours here, a full night there, sometimes staying as live-in support for longer stretches. Over 22 years I have come to particularly value the steady, patient kind of care, the sort where you keep showing up until trust builds and someone feels genuinely at ease with you.”

He developed a close affinity with Terence, spending time talking with him before he retired to bed and looking after his needs during the night. He even accompanied Terence to hospital one night when an ambulance had to be called because Terence was experiencing sever chest pains, staying with him until his shift finished.

132 hours of care
In Veronika’s words

“There is something grounding about cooking a proper meal with someone rather than just for them, and it is one of the small rituals I bring into my visits. I have been providing hourly and visiting care around Manchester for six years, working with people living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke and a wide range of physical and cognitive conditions, and I speak both Czech and English, which has meant a lot to some of the families I have supported.”

I needed help with shopping in tesco. I needed the wheelchair and trolley with built in seat. So glad I had Veronica to help me. I found Veronica to be kind caring heart of gold. Veronica is a credit to the caring industry and a lovely person and will look forward to many more visits.

In Sharon’s words

“Families I've supported often say I'm the sort of carer who makes a house feel calmer just by being in it. After thirty years working across Chester as a self-employed carer, offering both hourly visits and overnight support, I've learned that steadiness and a friendly face matter just as much as any practical skill. For me, companionship sits right at the heart of the job.”

Overnight care
In Elaine’s words

“I have spent long stretches of my working life alongside district nurses in a client's home, making sure their visits fitted smoothly into the day even though I am not a nurse myself. One placement lasted over a year and a half, and that kind of steady presence is something I have built my career on, twenty five years of it now, working across Warrington offering hourly visits and overnight care. What I bring to a home is a calm, unhurried manner.”

Outside work, Elaine lists walking, card games, cooking & baking and puzzles.

In Nadya’s words

“Care has been my life's work for thirty five years, and in that time I have learned that good care is really about paying attention, noticing the small things that matter to someone and building routines around them rather than the other way round. I'm based in Newton-le-Willows and offer hourly, visiting and overnight care, and I speak both Bulgarian and English, which has helped me connect with a wide range of families over the years.”

Overnight care
In Orire’s words

“Care suits me because I am naturally calm and steady, even when things feel uncertain. I remember reassuring a client whose paperwork seemed complicated at first. I kept my tone even and explained things clearly, step by step. That same steadiness carries into every visit I make across Stoke-on-Trent, where I offer hourly and overnight care. Companionship matters most to me.”

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Cheshire

The carers above have the strongest records near Cheshire, 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 Cheshire

    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 Cheshire charge

Each carer sets their own rate. The carers profiled above charge £17 to £25 an hour with our fee included, close to the typical £20 for Cheshire.

Hourly rates for visits in CheshireOur fee included
  1. The carers on this page6 carers£17 to £25
  2. Carers across CheshireThe middle half of rates£19 to £21
  3. A home care agencyTypical charge for a visit£28 to £35

From carers' own profiles, September 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 Cheshire 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 18 months

Checked before a carer appears: an enhanced DBS (or PVG in Scotland, Access NI in Northern Ireland) issued within the last 18 months, and it has to be renewed every 18 months 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 Cheshire 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 Cheshire, 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 18 months, and it has to be renewed every 18 months. 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 £17 to £25 an hour, with our fee included. Across Cheshire carers charge £19 to £21 an hour, typically £20. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Cheshire 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 Afrikaans, Bulgarian, Czech, Herero, Hindi, Portuguese, Shona, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu 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 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 Cheshire is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
