Trusted home care services in Bristol
Finding the right home care in Bristol can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. At Consultus Care and Nursing, we specialise in live-in home care, a dedicated, one-to-one service where a professional carer lives with you or your loved one, providing round-the-clock support in the comfort of home.
Unlike other forms of home care that may offer only brief, time-limited visits, our live-in care model ensures continuous, personalised attention throughout the day and night. For many families, this makes live-in care the most reassuring and effective form of care at home available. It offers consistency, companionship, and safety that short visits simply cannot match.
As one of the UK's longest-established care providers, founded in 1962, and still proudly family-owned, we understand that every person's needs are different. That is why we carefully match each client with a dedicated carer based on their individual requirements, personality, and preferences. This ensures your care feels truly personal from day one.
Our home care services in Bristol
We offer a range of live-in care and nursing options, each designed to be tailored around the specific needs of you or your loved one. Whether you need short-term respite support or long-term, ongoing care, we have a service to suit.
Introductory live-in care
With our introductory live-in care service, we recruit a self-employed carer who works in your home for you, independently of us. In contrast to our managed live-in care service, with introductory care, we do not direct, supervise or manage the carers we introduce to you, and the carers are paid directly by you.
Managed live-in care
Our fully managed live-in care service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, which results in regular inspections to ensure the care we provide is of the highest standard. We fully manage the service, which means carers are supervised, managed and monitored by us when working in a client’s home.

Mirella
I joined Consultus in 2018 and spent a year at Head Office before deciding to join the Managed Care Department and work remotely as a Local Consultant.
My role as a Local Consultant is varied every day and I love that my role enables me to meet and work with our lovely clients and carers. My role as a Local Consultant is incredibly rewarding and I feel privileged to help people to remain in their homes and to provide them with outstanding care.

Frequently asked questions about home care in Bristol
Live-in care involves a professional carer living in your home, providing continuous personal support throughout the day and into the night. Your carer assists with everything from personal hygiene, meal preparation, and medication management to companionship and supporting you with your daily routine. Each care plan is developed around your specific needs following a thorough assessment, ensuring the care you receive is truly personal.
The cost of live-in home care depends on your specific care needs and circumstances. Our services start from approximately £1,092 per week. For couples, live-in care can be particularly cost-effective, as two people can often share one carer, making it more affordable than two individual residential care home placements. We are happy to discuss costs and funding options in detail during an initial conversation.
We take great care in matching each client with the right carer. We consider your care needs, personality, interests, lifestyle preferences, and any specific requirements. With over 60 years' experience, we have refined this process to ensure a genuinely compatible match. To provide continuity, you will have a small team of carers who rotate, each getting to know you and your routines well.
Yes, you will need to provide a private bedroom with basic amenities, including a bed and somewhere to store clothes. Your carer will also need access to a bathroom (it does not need to be a personal one) and WiFi for administrative tasks. Most of our carers enjoy cooking and eating with their clients, and meals or a food allowance should be agreed between you and your carer.
We understand that care needs can arise quickly. While the exact timeline depends on your specific requirements and the availability of a suitable carer, we work as quickly as possible to arrange care. In many cases, we can have a carer in place within a few days. For planned care, we recommend getting in touch as early as possible so we can take the time to find the best possible match for you.
