You are not alone in this
When someone you love is living with a serious or advancing illness, everything feels heavier. You want them comfortable, free from pain and treated with dignity, and you want to feel confident you are making the right choices for them.

A short look at how Consultus Care and Nursing supports families across the UK.
Home vs. a hospice or nursing home
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."
"The carers are wonderful and go that extra mile, supported by a great team at head office. I highly recommend this company."
Recognised for the quality of our care, our training and our people.
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 care is a separate option, for when clinical care is needed.
Families often choose this if:
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.
Families often choose this if:
How it works: we employ, train, supervise and support the carer, with a dedicated care consultant overseeing everything. A CQC-regulated service rated 'Good', with clinical expertise behind it.
Families need this when:
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.
