this is a question for those that do these sort of things
how often do you clean them
are these in and out
who pays you
are they good money or not
which do you prefer to clean nursing or care
-
i do a care home, yes its very quick money, i only do the outside , and its once a month....
they normaly pay within 14 days, but this month they payed late :-[
i had to go and pick up the cheque in person.... i got talking to the manager... he said that their heating bill is £3000 a month :o

who would you be looking for in the homes to enquire if they have a window cleaner ect

Cut throat unless your lucky,i know someone that does about 20 a month.If you do about 4 of them for free it looks like your earning good money.

What i mean is the price that he has to do them for,to make it pay when quoting your almost making it look like there getting 4 done for free,therefore 4 of them homes only get a quick brush over once a month.This is the thing with this type of work,if you take your time you will lose money.

Residential care homes provide support to people who cannot be supported in their own homes, even with a comprehensive package of care. They provide trained care staff, and residents have access to visiting District Nurses.
Nursing homes have qualified nursing staff on duty 24 hours a day to support people's needs, where these are too complex to be met within residential homes
Taken out of my daughters works handbook as she works in a nursing home

We have some very poor responses on this thread.
'They smell so I turn the work down' and that there is an expectaton to charge them cheaply.
My experience over the last 8 years of cleaning nursing homes
Nursing home 1 = 40 mins work = £50.00 - 6 weekly
Nursing home 2 = 40 mins work = £40.00 - monthly
Nursing home 3 = 20 mins work = £30.00 - monthly
Nursing home 4 = 15 mins work = £20.00 - monthly
These nursing homes were sold with my residential work in March 08 and they were all long term cleans, I know the prices on them have been increased.
We know have 15 nursing homes on a 6 weekly cycle I would defy anyone to say they would not do the work on the above grounds. The price is not important - I put it in high and got the maintenance order emailed to me the next day.
Nursing homes can be very good earners - you need to know how to approach them and service them!!!

m.b.s who do you address your letters to at the homes
you need to try and find out who is inchage of the window cleaning part
a phone call is best way to find this out
then address the letter to them
bit of messing around but could be worth 5 mins of your time ;)

i have got my nursing homes and care homes through word of mouth, i wouldnt know who to go to to get the work or if they already have a wc but i think there good money (not the best but good) and gives you a good break from other stuff, if you have a long day on residential its always nice finishing on this sort of thing.... (well thats what i think anyhow) mine pay instantly by cheque..
