How did you choose the best home carers in Merseyside?

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 Merseyside, 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 vetted?

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.

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 Merseyside charge?

The carers profiled on this page charge £19.50 to £25 an hour, with our fee included. Across Merseyside carers charge £19 to £20 an hour, typically £19. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Merseyside works through what a week of visits comes to.

Are there carers in Merseyside with dementia experience?

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.

Do any of the carers in Merseyside speak a language other than English?

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Afrikaans, Bulgarian, 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.

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, 6 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 Merseyside is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.

Rodrigo Javier B.

Client rating: 5.0from 1 review
Hourly rate: £20.50 an hour, our fee included
Also offers: 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.

Client rating: 5.0from 1 review
Hourly rate: £25 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 896 hours of care

In Trudi’s words

“I am a mother of seven grown up children and a bubbly caring compassionate person. Most of my care/support role has been in the clients home. Ranging from dementia, stroke, palliative care, learning disabilities and vulnerable adults. I can drive, cook, clean, iron, support with medication and mobility. I also love gardening, needlework, crosswords, painting and decorating and I am very IT literate enabling me to assist with emails, accounts etc.”

It was clear that she genuinely cared and her warm approach really helped put our minds at ease. We’re thankful for all her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable carer.

Hannah Jayne D.

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

Sharon F.

Client rating: 5.0from 1 review
Hourly rate: £23.10 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 484 hours of care

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.”

Elaine Caron F.

Client rating: 5.0from 1 review
Hourly rate: £25 an hour, our fee included
Also offers: 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.”
