How these carers were chosen

Of the 50 carers near Lancashire with a photo on their profile, 47 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 Tracy’s words

“I like my days built around visiting care, popping in to help someone get up and dressed, sharing a cup of tea and a chat, then coming back later to help with medication or getting ready for bed. Based in Morecambe, I've spent 14 years doing hourly care this way, and what I enjoy most is the rhythm of it, seeing the same faces regularly and getting to know how someone likes their day to run.”

I needed help with shopping in Sainsbury's. I found Tracy to be kind caring very helpful and punctual and heart of gold. As a patient / client. I felt comfortable in Tracy's care. Thank you so much for helping me and will look forward to seeing Tracy and helping me in new year.

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.

In Annamarie’s words

“A good walk clears my head, and a quiet evening with a book or some music does the same. I mention this because it is part of how I approach care too, I like to slow down, notice the person in front of me, and give them my full attention rather than rushing through a visit.”

She brings a ray of light, love and happiness to all around her.

326 hours of care
In Hannah’s words

“I am currently training to become a psychotherapist counsellor alongside my care work, something that grew naturally out of wanting to understand people more deeply and support them emotionally, not just practically. Based in Wigan, I offer hourly and overnight care, and over four years I have found that the two sides of my work, the practical and the emotional, tend to go hand in hand. I bring a calm, steady presence into people's homes.”

Hannah was the first carer we have used via PrimeCarers - and she has been a joy to work with! Her communication to arrange visits etc has been great, she is always punctual and has cared well for my Grandparents for both overnight and daytime care. She is very friendly and a joy to have around. She works hard and looks after both the physical and mental needs of her patients.

“Dancing and cooking are two things that never fail to bring a smile out of the people I look after, and I try to weave an activity into most visits, whether that's a card game or some baking, because keeping the mind busy tends to keep spirits up too. I'm Machema, known to most as Ema, and I offer hourly, visiting and overnight care across Bolton.”

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Lancashire

The carers above have the strongest records near Lancashire, 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 Lancashire

    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 Lancashire charge

Each carer sets their own rate. The carers profiled above charge £19 to £25 an hour with our fee included, close to the typical £20 for Lancashire.

Hourly rates for visits in LancashireOur fee included
  1. The carers on this page6 carers£19 to £25
  2. Carers across LancashireThe 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 Lancashire 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 Lancashire 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 Lancashire, 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 £25 an hour, with our fee included. Across Lancashire 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 Lancashire 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, Krio, Mandinka, Portuguese and Spanish 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 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 Lancashire is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
