How did you choose the best home carers in Wandsworth?

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 Wandsworth, 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 checked?

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.

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 Wandsworth charge?

The carers profiled on this page charge £18.50 to £22.90 an hour, with our fee included. Across Wandsworth carers charge £19 to £20 an hour, typically £20. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Wandsworth works through what a week of visits comes to.

Are there carers in Wandsworth with dementia experience?

11 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.

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

Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Amharic, Arabic, Jamaican and Tigrinya 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, 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 Wandsworth is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.

Mario Da Assuncao N.

Client rating: 5.0from 1 review
Hourly rate: £20 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 431 hours of care

In Mario’s words

“Being calm under pressure has always come naturally to me, and it is that steadiness that I try to bring into every home I work in. I have spent four years as a professional carer across Greater London, offering hourly and visiting care, live-in support, and overnight cover, and I hold an up to date DBS so families can feel confident about who they are welcoming in.”

My father was an intelligent man with a good sense of humour and Mario was an amusing and affectionate companion - he for example looked out my father's favourite music music, engaged him in conversation and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. Mario is generous, capable, kind and entirely reliable. He engaged with my father in a warm and thoughtful way. My father was extremely lucky to have him.

Michael B.

Client rating: 5.0from 1 review
Hourly rate: £18.50 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 18,576 hours of care

In Michael’s words

“Hello, my name is Michael. I started assisting care for my gran 3 years ago. I always make sure that my client has the opportunity to walk, in some cases with a wheelchair in the park. I find that fresh air is great for well being. Although the daily routine can be demanding I take pride in the fact that I am maximising someone's comfort and care. I finally have a purpose and I am content. I cherish the few but significant moments of laughter and intrigue.”

I would like to thank Michael for his outstanding commitment to caring for our mum. He is demonstrating to the family on a daily basis, an excellent professional attitude. In using hoists to move mum, administrating medications, food preparation and feeding, cleaning and bathing mum and his all round general care for our mum.

Maureen L.

Client rating: 4.8from 4 reviews
Hourly rate: £20 an hour, our fee included
Through PrimeCarers: 774 hours of care

In Maureen’s words

“My week is a mix of visiting care and overnight stays across London, and the part I enjoy most is simple company: sitting down for a proper meal together, chatting over a cup of tea, or heading out for some fresh air if that is what someone fancies. After seventeen years in this work, I have learned that good care is as much about conversation and companionship as it is about the practical side of things.”
