We're here to answer any questions you may have

How soon can I receive care?

Once we know your needs, we will approach our local Hitchin carers, who usually respond within 24-48 hours.

As soon as we know their availability we will send you their profiles. It’s then up to you to decide which carer you like and we can book that carer straightaway.

We recognise that it is helpful to meet a carer in advance of agreeing to an engagement. Where this cannot be easily arranged in person, we encourage you to arrange a video call (e.g. via Zoom) with your recommended carer.

How much does home care from TrustonTap cost?: Prices range from £20 – £30/hour depending on your care needs and carer experience.

How do I find the right carer?

We will send you a selection of profiles for carers in the Hitchin area, and you choose your carer dependent on your specific requirements.

We will ensure that you have the same carer each time, we will not send you different carers without contacting you first. This is usually only due to sickness or leave.

What checks are done on TrustonTap carers?

We carefully screen and interview all our trusted carers via a multi-stage recruitment process to ensure that all our carers are competent, compassionate, kind, honest and reliable.

Everyone is fully-vetted and DBS background checked.

Plus, we obtain two references on all carers that we take on, to ensure the good character of the people who will be supporting you.

We also conduct thorough individual interviews.

Over the last 3 years, we have taken on less than 10% of carers that have applied to us.

We only list those individuals who we would be happy to recommend to our own relatives.

“At the moment, Yvonne's duties mainly comprise helping our very experienced live-in carer get Mary up. This she does to our satisfaction, and the carer rates her. Currently, Yvonne is driving c 25 minutes; from December, it will be 6 minutes. We and she look forward to that as it will improve both her punctuality (which is not bad) and her value for money, making one hour stays feasible.”

Advice & Support

Dementia

How to Look After Someone with Dementia: A Comprehensive Guide

Caring for someone with dementia involves balancing medical, emotional, and practical needs while preserving dignity and independence. A person-centred approach focuses on routines, preferences, and meaningful activities, supported by tailored care plans and networks of family, professionals, and community groups. Daily care covers communication, hygiene, nutrition, mobility, safety, and managing behavioural changes. Caregivers should adapt environments, use clear communication, and plan ahead for health, transport, and end-of-life decisions. Self-care for carers is essential to avoid burnout and ensure sustainable, compassionate support.

Safety in the home

How to prevent falls at home: a 10 step safety checklist

We know that most elderly people want to spend the rest of their lives living in a home of their own. The problem with that is that most houses simply aren’t built to be safe for the elderly. Falls are still the most frequent and serious type of accident in people aged 65 and over and a simple fall can lead to serious health problems. Falls destroy confidence, increase isolation and reduce independence.

Dementia

What is Dementia: A Comprehensive Overview

Dementia is a syndrome, not a single disease, marked by progressive decline in memory, thinking, and behaviour due to brain cell damage. It includes Alzheimer’s, vascular, Lewy body, and frontotemporal dementia, each with distinct causes and symptoms. Cognitive decline, mood changes, and loss of daily function worsen over time. Risk factors include age, genetics, and lifestyle, while prevention focuses on brain health, managing heart conditions, and staying socially and mentally active. Dementia remains a major global health challenge with rising prevalence.
