Consultus on the BBC

A Consultus Client and Carer were featured on the BBC2 television programme "Working Lunch".

Sheila Latimer of London told the interviewer why she preferred receiving the care she needs at home. Her daughter Claire talked about the "very reasonable price" of Live-in Care and added that her mother was "so happy at home; she's got her friends around her, her daily routine…her life has gone on, even though Dad has died".

Also appearing on the programme was Mrs Latimer's Carer, Carol Schoultz who talked about the satisfaction she got from being a Live-in Carer and companion. "We're here to look after you, care for you, give you the things you want and need, and feel comfortable with it", said Carol.

The programme discussed the relative costs of long term care and nursing, and made clear how competitive is the cost of private Live-in Care. Care at Home Department Manager, Celia Hoare, appeared talking about the costs of the service and accommodation for Carers.
