Chosen by PrimeCarers from carers’ profiles and client reviews  ·  Updated October 2026

How these carers were chosen

Of the 10 carers near Wiltshire with a photo on their profile, 9 have a studio portrait, an hourly rate and a profile full enough to quote. The four 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.

Four carers, best first

Overnight care
In Esther’s words

“My working week is a mix of hourly visits and overnight stays, based around Devizes. I enjoy both, but there is something special about cooking alongside a client. It turns a daily task into a shared moment, and often a joyful one. I have worked in care for 12 years. In that time I have supported people with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, heart disease, and cancer, as well as those recovering from surgery or a broken bone.”

  • Palliative care

  • Catheter and stoma care

Outside work, Esther lists cooking & baking, decorating, DIY and watching TV.

How to choose

How to choose between home carers in Wiltshire

The carers above have the strongest records near Wiltshire, 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 Wiltshire

    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 Wiltshire charge

Each carer sets their own rate. The carers profiled above charge £19 to £22.50 an hour with our fee included, a little above the typical £19 for Wiltshire.

Hourly rates for visits in WiltshireOur fee included
  1. The carers on this page4 carers£19 to £22.50
  2. Carers across WiltshireThe middle half of rates£19 to £23
  3. A home care agencyTypical charge for a visit£28 to £35

From carers' own profiles, October 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 Wiltshire 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 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 Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire, 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 4 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 £19 to £22.50 an hour, with our fee included. Across Wiltshire carers charge £19 to £23 an hour, typically £19. Agencies usually charge £28 to £35 an hour for a visit. The cost of home care in Wiltshire works through what a week of visits comes to.

All 8 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 Akan, Chichewa and French 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 1 offer live-in care. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Wiltshire is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
