See what compassionate live-in care looks like

A short look at how Consultus Care supports families across the UK.

Which live-in care service fits your family?

For most families the choice is between introduced and managed live-in care, and it usually comes down to how hands-on you are able to be. Live-in nursing is a separate option, for when clinical care is needed.

Introduced live-in care

A family spending time together at home

Families often choose this if:

  • You live close by and can pop in regularly
  • You are happy to take calls from the carer yourself
  • You want to keep full control of your loved one's care
  • You have the time to manage the day to day

How it works: we match you with a trained self-employed carer, who you supervise, manage and pay directly. It is our most cost-effective option, but when something comes up, the carer calls you rather than us.

Live-in nursing

Families need this when:

  • Your loved one has complex medical needs
  • Care has to be delivered by a qualified nurse
  • There is post-surgical, palliative or complex condition care
  • A nursing home is the only other option

How it works: a CQC-regulated service delivered by fully qualified, NMC-registered nurses with at least three years' post-qualification experience across community, acute and palliative care.

Real reviews from families we've supported.

★★★★★

"It was necessary for me to contact a care service to look after my wife with 24-hour care, and after reviewing a couple of companies I settled on Consultus. I consider it one of my best ever decisions. Every member of staff I have met is just wonderful and so understanding, and the caring teams are truly compassionate in every aspect of their role."

"I have used Consultus to provide live-in carers to support several family members in their own homes over the last 19 years. In general we have been well matched with carers in terms of personalities and experience. I have recommended them to friends who have also become long-term clients."
