Live-in care in Harrow gives you or a loved one the opportunity to carry on living in the home you love, with a professional carer providing support at all hours. As one of the UK's longest established live-in care providers since 1962, Consultus Care and Nursing delivers exceptional care services across Harrow and the wider north-west London area.

Live-in care services in Harrow
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
Through our introductory live-in care service, we identify and introduce a self-employed carer who works in your home for you, independently of Consultus. In contrast to our managed service, we do not direct, supervise or manage the carers we introduce, and you pay your carer directly. This option is well suited to those who would like a greater degree of personal involvement in how their care is organised and delivered.
Managed live-in care
Our fully managed live-in care service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, with regular inspections to uphold the highest standards of care. We take complete responsibility for managing the service, meaning carers are supervised, directed and monitored by us throughout their time in a client's home.
Live-in nursing
Our live-in nurses are fully qualified registered nurses with a minimum of three years of post-qualification experience. Each nurse is carefully selected for their specific clinical skills and depth of knowledge, bringing experience across community nursing, acute settings, and palliative care.
What is live in care?
Live-in care is a fully personalised service where a trained, professional carer moves into your home and provides one-to-one support at all hours of the day and night. It is a genuine, people-centred alternative to a care home, allowing you to stay surrounded by the familiar comforts, faces, and routines of your own home rather than adapting to an unfamiliar setting. We believe wholeheartedly that life is better at home, and that conviction shapes everything we do.
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.
What our live-in care includes
Live-in care is tailored entirely to the individual and covers a comprehensive range of everyday needs. A live-in carer provides both practical, hands-on support and warm companionship, helping your loved one to live as fully and independently as possible in their own home.

Medication management and routine health monitoring

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 remain connected to your neighbourhood and community, without the disruption 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 remain living together in your own home while both receiving 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 Harrow
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.
Remain independent: Keep your routines, your preferences, and your sense of self, with a carer who is there to support you rather than take over.
Consistency and continuity: As your needs change over time, your care plan adapts with you, ensuring the level of support you receive always reflects your current situation.
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.
Cost-effective for couples: For couples who both need care, live-in care with a single carer is often considerably more cost-effective than two separate residential placements.

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.

Harrow live-in care FAQs
Where care is needed at short notice, we can often have a live-in carer in place within 24 to 48 hours. For planned arrangements, we work to whatever timescale suits you, taking the time to ensure everything is properly in place before care begins. There is never any pressure to make decisions before you feel ready.
Our carers are experienced in supporting people living with a broad range of conditions, including dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, cancer, heart disease, reduced mobility, and palliative needs. Where clinical nursing care is required, our live-in nursing service provides fully registered nurses with specialist expertise to match.
Matching the right carer to the right person is one of the most important things we do. We consider personality, shared interests, communication style, and care requirements carefully before making any introduction. If a placement does not feel right for any reason, we will act promptly to find someone better suited. Your comfort and confidence in your carer is central to everything we do.
