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 Rickmansworth 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 Rickmansworth 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.

While Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type, there are others that people and families should be aware of. Each form of dementia brings its own symptoms and challenges, so understanding the differences can help you get the right diagnosis and support for your loved one.

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.

Rickmansworth is a town in southwest Hertfordshire, England, about 17 miles northwest of central London and within the M25 motorway’s perimeter. A large part of the town lies to the north of the Grand Union Canal (formerly the Grand Junction Canal) and the River Colne. Watford is the nearest large town, located about 5 miles to the east. Located in Three Rivers District Council, Rickmansworth is its administrative hub. The former market town of Rickmansworth is situated in the Three Rivers District of Hertfordshire, on the northwestern edge of Greater London. Rickmansworth is derived from the Saxon name “Ryckmer”, the local magnate, and “worth,” which means a farm or stockade. Rickmansworth has certainly one of the most fascinating histories of all English villages and towns, dating back nearly a thousand years As well as commercial offices and other corporate premises, the town now has a variety of manufacturing companies and service industries. Due to its geographical location, the town also acts as a commuter base for residents who work in London. Shops, pubs and restaurants aplenty serve the town and its locality. Rickmansworth grew rapidly during the Victorian era and during the 1920s and 1930s thanks to the extension of the Metropolitan Railway, and became a commuter town. In October 1862, Lord Ebury built a single-track railway connecting Watford and Rickmansworth, commencing construction on it in July 1860. There is an annual Ricky Week celebration in May, when Rickmansworth is shortened to “Ricky”. The Rickmansworth Festival, organised by the Rickmansworth Waterways Trust, celebrates the town’s canal history at the end of the week.We provide consistent home care, home help, and companionship carers across Rickmansworth from £20/hour.
