On PrimeCarers you choose the carer yourself from the profiles of those who can reach Kingswinford, agree the rate on their profile, and we set up the contract and the weekly payments. Families arrange it after an operation or a hospital stay, for dementia, for a couple, or when visits are no longer enough. How live-in care works goes through it step by step.
