How these carers were chosen

Of the 15 carers near the Vale of Glamorgan with a photo on their profile, 15 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. Reviews come from clients who booked through PrimeCarers, screened before they appear and never edited; references carers have added from past clients are not verified.

  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 Justine’s words

“My week is split between office work and visiting clients' homes across Cardiff, and it's the hands-on visits I look forward to most, the chance to sit with someone, help with their day and simply be good company. I started out as a nanny years ago, and that early experience shaped how I care for people now: with patience, warmth and a genuine interest in who they are.”

In Robert’s words

“A client's daughter once told me that without my support, her mother would not have coped living at home. That kind of feedback means a lot to me, and it is why I keep doing this work. I am based in Bridgend County Borough and offer hourly visiting care, overnight care and live-in care. Over 15 years I have supported people with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, heart disease, and conditions like COPD and rheumatoid arthritis.”

Overnight care and live-in care
In Clarieta’s words

“Care found me through hospital wards rather than a career plan, and it stuck. Over 16 years I moved from support work into more advanced nursing duties, which taught me how much steadiness matters when someone is frightened or in pain. That grounding still shapes how I work today, based in Newport and offering hourly, overnight and live-in care.”

Experience Clarieta writes about

Outside work, Clarieta lists walking, socialising, reading and watching TV.

I'm based in Cardiff and have two years of professional care experience here, alongside three years working in care abroad, so I've supported people through a wide range of needs, including dementia, Parkinson's, stroke recovery, respiratory illness and end of life care.”

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in the Vale of Glamorgan

The carers above have the strongest records near the Vale of Glamorgan, 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 the Vale of Glamorgan

    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 their identity, right to work and enhanced DBS, and they record an online interview; 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 recorded online interview, answered in the carer’s own time, about their experience and how they approach care. It is not a test of skills or a guarantee of suitability.

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 check carers sets out each check in detail.

Questions

Questions families in the Vale of Glamorgan 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 the Vale of Glamorgan, 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. 1 of the 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 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.

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 £24 an hour, with our fee included. Across the Vale of Glamorgan carers charge £19 to £22 an hour, typically £20. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in the Vale of Glamorgan works through what a week of visits comes to.

10 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.

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Afrikaans, Luganda, North Ndebele, Shona and Zulu 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 4 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in the Vale of Glamorgan is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
