Award-winning care you can trust
For those seeking care at home, live-in care provides a compassionate alternative to residential care homes. Consultus Care and Nursing has been delivering professional home care services since 1962, supporting individuals throughout Islington to remain in the comfort of their own home. Our experienced live-in carers provide round-the-clock support, enabling you or your family member to continue living in familiar surroundings whilst still receiving high-quality care.
Our live-in care services in Islington
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 involves a professional carer residing in your home, providing continuous personal support throughout the day or night to improve your quality of life. This allows individuals to remain in the comfort of their own, in a familiar environment, instead of facing the upset and uncertainty of moving into a care or nursing home.
Your dedicated carer will support you with everything from personal hygiene and meal preparation to medication and emotional companionship. Each care plan is developed around your specific requirements, following a multidisciplinary approach.
What our live-in care includes
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.

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.
