Who Are Prime Carers?

PrimeCarers is a UK-based platform that connects people who need care (like the elderly, people with disabilities, or those recovering from illness) directly with self-employed carers. Instead of going through a traditional care agency, users can find, choose, and hire independent carers via PrimeCarers, often giving more flexibility, choice, and lower costs.

Here’s a quick summary of how PrimeCarers works:

  • Carers create profiles with details about their experience, qualifications, and rates.

  • Clients (or their families) search for carers based on location, skills, and availability.

  • Booking and payment are handled through the platform.

  • PrimeCarers also takes care of background checks, insurance, and contracts to make the process safer and more professional.

It’s popular among people who want more control over their care arrangements compared to traditional care agencies.

How Do Prime Carers Help?

PrimeCarers offers several home care services designed to help people live independently and safely in their own homes, instead of moving into care homes or hospitals. Here’s a breakdown of what they offer and why it’s helpful:

  • Hourly Visiting Care: A carer comes to your home for a few hours to help with tasks like washing, dressing, cooking, cleaning, medication reminders, and companionship.

  • Live-in Care: A carer moves into the home to provide 24/7 support, which is ideal for people who need constant help but want to stay at home.

  • Overnight Care: A carer stays overnight to assist with things like bathroom trips, medication, or just to provide reassurance and supervision during the night.

  • Respite Care: Temporary care provided to give a regular carer (like a family member) a break.

  • Specialist Care: Carers with training in areas like dementia care, palliative care, or disability support are available for more complex needs.

  • More Choice: Clients can browse carers’ profiles and choose someone they feel comfortable with, based on skills, personality, language, or specialisms.

  • Affordability: Since carers are self-employed, fees are often lower compared to using a traditional agency.

  • Flexibility: You can arrange care for a few hours a week, full-time, or anything in between, depending on changing needs.

  • Consistency: Instead of different agency workers visiting, clients usually get to build a relationship with the same carer over time.

  • Trust and Safety: PrimeCarers carries out identity checks, DBS (criminal background) checks, and offers insurance, making the process safer than hiring privately without support.

  • Simple Management: The platform handles contracts, payments, and admin, so families and carers can focus on the care itself, not paperwork.
