In Aman’s words

“Working as a carer takes initiate which can be in a fast-paced changing environment and need to utilizes exceptional analytical skills to overcome challenges and achieve results. I have experienced working within medical services at St Georges hospital as a scientist in the Central pathology department. I am a enthusiastic, highly self-motivated individual who now puts all my skills and knowledge into looking after other people.”

Aman came to support my Dad's care when we were at crisis point. We have really appreciated his calm and professional approach. Without his support we wouldn't have been able to navigate bringing and keeping Dad at home.

“When I'm not working, you'll usually find me with a paintbrush in hand, out on a long walk, or pottering in the garden. That same steady, creative energy carries into my care work, which I've been doing for eight years now from my base in Chessington. I speak both English and French, and my experience spans residential and nursing homes as well as supporting disabled children, which has taught me to adapt to whatever a household needs.”

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Kingston upon Thames

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

    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 Kingston upon Thames 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 Thames, 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. 4 of the 6 carers profiled here have client reviews, averaging 4.9 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 an hour, with our fee included. Across Kingston upon Thames 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 Thames 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 Bulgarian, Dari, French, Persian (Farsi) and Sign Language 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, 4 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 Thames is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
