Live-in care services in Hammersmith and Fulham
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?
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.

You are coming home after a period in hospital and require immediate, continuous care to support a safe and steady recovery.
A family carer needs a planned or emergency break, and you need trusted respite care to ensure continuity of support.

Benefits of live-in care in Hammersmith and Fulham
Stay in your own home: Remain in the place that matters most to you, your own home, with all its familiar comforts and the people around you.

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.

Hammersmith and Fulham live-in care FAQs
Care homes ask you to fit around their environment, their schedules, and their staffing arrangements, whereas live-in care puts you at the centre. A dedicated carer moves into your home, works to your preferences, and provides support shaped entirely around your life. You stay in your own home, close to your community, and maintain your independence.
As much as you and your family would like. We work with people who want a close, hands-on involvement in every aspect of the arrangement, and with others who prefer to leave day-to-day decisions with us. Your care manager will keep whoever you nominate regularly updated, and family members are welcome to contribute to reviews and raise questions at any time.
Yes. Live-in care can be arranged for a set period, whether that is a few weeks of recovery following an operation, cover during a family carer's holiday, or support through a more demanding phase of an ongoing condition. Many people begin with a short-term placement and find it suits them so well they choose to continue. We approach short and long-term arrangements with equal care and commitment.
We plan for carer breaks from the very start of the arrangement. Clients on our managed service will always have cover arranged in advance, so care continues without any interruption. Any carer providing cover will be fully prepared before they arrive, with a thorough understanding of your routine, your preferences, and your specific care needs.
