How did you choose the best home carers in Havering?

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 Havering, 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.

Are the carers on this page checked?

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.

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 Havering charge?

The carers profiled on this page charge £18.10 to £21.80 an hour, with our fee included. Across Havering carers charge £19 to £20 an hour, typically £20. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Havering works through what a week of visits comes to.

Are there carers in Havering 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 Havering speak a language other than English?

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Afrikaans, Bulgarian, French, Hausa, Lingala, Russian 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.

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, 4 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 Havering is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.

Mathilda Wuraola O.

Client rating: 5.0from 2 reviews
Hourly rate: £20 an hour, our fee included

In Mathilda’s words

“Once, a client of mine was frightened during a fire alarm that went on far too long. She was bedbound and kept asking me not to leave her, so I held her hand, kept my voice steady, and phoned the porter to find out what was happening while she calmed down. Staying calm and solutions focused in moments like that is simply how I work.”

Matilda looked after my mother for almost 3 years after her stroke left her bed bound. The bond the 2 of them built together was very special and my mother loved and trusted Matilda above all others. All our family will be forever be grateful to Matida for her care and love on all levels.

Marieta R.

Client rating: 5.0from 2 reviews
Hourly rate: £21.80 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 769 hours of care

In Marieta’s words

“There's nothing I enjoy more than a long walk followed by an afternoon of baking, and I find gardening keeps me settled on quieter days. Those simple pleasures shape how I approach care too: steadily, patiently, and with real attention to what makes someone feel comfortable in their own home. Before I moved into care, I spent thirty years working in a hospital imaging department as a fully qualified radiographer.”

Also offers: Overnight care

In Oladunni’s words

“Over ten years of visiting and overnight care, I have sat with people through the quiet hours of the night as much as the busy mornings, adjusting a ventilator, checking a catheter, or simply staying close so someone did not wake alone. That steadiness is what I try to bring into every home I work in across Dagenham.”
