How these carers were chosen

Of the 36 carers near Kingston upon Hull with a photo on their profile, 34 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 Leanne’s words

“What I love most about this job is knowing that I'm going to get up each morning and help someone stay dressed, tidy and still fully themselves, dignity intact, for the day ahead. That feeling hasn't faded in twelve years of hourly and visiting care around Scotter, and it's still the reason I do this work.”

Leanne helped look after my grandma when she was suffering with dementia. Leanne was a breath of fresh air and very professional covering all aspects of care for my grandma. It was a real pleasure to have leanne care for my grandma and we all fealt that she was in the best care possible. I would highly recommend leanne to anyone who wants the very best care for their loved ones.

In Emma’s words

“I'm an experienced Complex Care Practitioner specialising in spinal cord injuries, neurological conditions, dementia and end-of-life care. I believe the best care is calm, respectful and centred around maintaining independence wherever possible. Whether supporting rehabilitation after injury, providing companionship, or delivering palliative care, I focus on dignity, safety and building trusting relationships with clients and their families.”

What truly stands out is how mindful and attentive she is to all of my medical needs, always going above and beyond to ensure I’m comfortable and well cared for. Her compassion and dedication mean the world to me, and I genuinely appreciate having such a supportive and reliable presence in my daily life.

Overnight care
In Elizabeth’s words

“Families tell me they value having someone reliable and calm around, someone who takes the time to understand what really matters to them and their relative. That feedback means a lot, because building that kind of trust is what I've worked towards over ten years of care work in Hull.”

Elizabeth was a ray of sunshine coming into our lives, always positive and very gentle but persuasive when Dad could be difficult and needed to be guided into whatever every day activity (dressing, washing, eating etc). Elizabeth was reliable, punctual, understanding of Dad's changing needs and willing to spend time with myself to update me on why Dad was as he was, or suggesting options when I was at my wits end.

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Kingston upon Hull

The carers above have the strongest records near Kingston upon Hull, 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 Kingston upon Hull

    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.

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 Kingston upon Hull 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 Kingston upon Hull 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 Kingston upon Hull, 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 £19 to £26 an hour, with our fee included. Across Kingston upon Hull 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 Kingston upon Hull 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, South Ndebele 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.

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 3 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Kingston upon Hull is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
