Our live-in care services in Bexley
Whether you need a carer introduced to you directly, a fully managed care arrangement, or a qualified nurse living in your home, we have a service to fit your situation and preferences.
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.
Understanding live in care
Live-in care is a fully personalised service in which a professional, trained carer moves into your home and provides one-to-one support around the clock. It is a genuine alternative to residential care, allowing you to stay surrounded by the familiar sights, sounds, and routines of your own home rather than adapting to a new environment. We firmly believe life is better at home, and the vast majority of people we speak with feel exactly the same.
Your carer works closely with you from day one, learning your preferences, your routines, and the small details that make your day comfortable. They provide practical support with personal care, meals, household tasks, and medication, as well as the everyday companionship that makes a genuine difference to wellbeing. A dedicated care manager oversees your arrangement and keeps in close contact with you and your family, adapting your care plan as your needs evolve.

Live-in care covers a wide range of daily needs, all tailored to each individual. A live-in carer provides both practical support and companionship, helping your loved one live life to the fullest at home.

When live in care is the right choice
Live-in care is suitable for a wide range of individuals and circumstances. You or your loved one may benefit from live-in care if:
You value your independence and want to stay active in your community, without the upheaval of moving into a residential care home.
You or a family member is managing a progressive condition such as dementia, Parkinson's, or multiple sclerosis and needs specialist support.
You are returning home after a hospital stay and require immediate, round-the-clock support to aid a safe recovery.
A family carer needs a planned or emergency break, and you need trusted respite care to ensure continuity of support.
You are a couple who wish to remain living together in your own home while both receiving tailored personal care.
You require palliative or end-of-life care in the dignity and privacy of the home you know and love.
Benefits of live-in care in Bexley
Stay in your own home: Remain in the place that matters most to you, your own home.
One-to-one personalised care: Unlike a care home, your carer's attention is focused entirely on you. Learning what matters to you and how you like things done.
Keep your independence: Keep your own routine and continue making your own choices, with a carer there to support, but not take over, your daily life.
Cost-effective: For couples who both need care, live-in care with a single carer is often considerably more cost-effective than two residential placements.
Consistency and continuity: Your carer builds a genuine understanding of your preferences, routines, and personality over time.
Reassurance for families: Family members can feel confident that their loved one is being cared for by a dedicated professional, every hour of the day.

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.
