Live-in care services in Greenwich
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 needs 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.
What is live in care?
A live-in carer moves into your home and becomes a trusted presence in your daily life, providing attentive, one-to-one support whenever you need it. For many people, it is the most natural way to receive care, allowing you to stay in the home you have built your life around, keep the connections that mean the most to you, and avoid the significant disruption of a move into residential care. At Consultus Care, we have believed for over 60 years that people are happier, more comfortable, and better supported at home, and everything we do reflects that.
As well as supporting you with personal care, meals, household tasks, and medication, they bring a level of individual attention and companionship that simply cannot be replicated in a care home setting. Overseeing everything is a dedicated care manager who stays in regular contact with you and your family, reviewing and refining your care plan as your needs shift over time.

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 rooted in your local community, without the upheaval of moving into a residential care home.
You or a family member is living with a progressive condition such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, or multiple sclerosis, and needs consistent, specialist ongoing support.
You are returning home after a hospital stay and need immediate, continuous care to support a safe and comfortable recovery.
A family carer needs a planned or emergency break, and trusted respite care is required to ensure there is no gap in support.
You are a couple who wish to stay living together in your own home while both receiving individually tailored personal care.
You require palliative or end-of-life care in the comfort, privacy, and dignity of the home that is most familiar to you.
Benefits of live-in care in Greenwich
Stay in your own home: Stay in the place where you feel most at ease, surrounded by familiar comforts, cherished belongings, and the people who matter most.
One-to-one personalised care: Unlike in a care home, your carer's full attention is on you alone, taking the time to understand who you are and what makes your day go well.
Keep your independence: Maintain your own routine and carry on making your own choices each day, with a carer on hand to support rather than take over.
Consistency and continuity: Your care plan is never fixed. As your needs develop, the support you receive develops with them, keeping your care relevant and responsive at every stage.
Reassurance for families: Family members can feel assured that their loved one is being looked after by a trained, dedicated professional, at every hour of the day and night.

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.

Greenwich live-in care FAQs
A care home requires you to move into a shared environment and adapt to its routines, staffing, and timetables. Live-in care works the other way around: a dedicated carer comes to you, fits around your life, and provides support that is shaped entirely by your preferences. You keep your home, your community, and your independence.
As involved as you would like. Some families prefer to stay closely informed and take an active role in reviewing the care plan, while others are happy to leave the day-to-day management with us. Our care manager keeps in regular contact with whoever you nominate, and we welcome family input at every stage.
Yes. Live-in care does not have to be a permanent arrangement. Some people need support for a defined period, such as following surgery or during a family carer's absence, while others find that what begins as a short-term arrangement suits them so well that they continue. We are equally happy to help with both.
Every live-in carer is entitled to regular breaks, and we plan for this from the outset. For our managed service, we arrange cover so that your care continues without interruption. You will always know in advance who is coming, and any cover carer will be fully briefed on your needs and preferences before they arrive.
