The basic advice is that as soon as symptoms show, I’m to go in to self isolation. If symptoms show and I deteriorate further, then that is when I assume I will get admitted, they don’t want people turning up in A & E Departments unless symptoms are a threat to life.

Carers are selflessly putting themselves at risk by caring for those who might have the virus. Those who find themselves in a position where they have to self isolate obviously can't attend work.
This will be why volunteers and retired people are to be asked to care for people. However, these good people probably won't have the experience & qualifications that you and your colleagues have, so it will be interesting. They could unintentionally cause damage by not knowing how to use a hoist properly etc.
