Live in care in Reading
If you're looking for live in care in Reading, Consultus Care and Nursing has been supporting families like yours since 1962. We understand you’ll want dependable care for someone you love, especially as you may need to juggle many responsibilities.
As a family-owned live-in care provider with 60 years of experience, we understand the pressure you're under and want to help.
Our live-in care and nursing services provide your loved one with round-the-clock care in the comfort of their home. It allows seniors to enjoy a familiar routine, more independence, and ensures they’re surrounded by memories as they grow older.
What is live-in care and how does it work?
Live-in care is a great option for seniors who want to remain at home without compromising on care.
Unlike residential care that requires seniors to move, a live-in care service provides round-the-clock support while allowing your loved one to stay in familiar surroundings. This means an elderly person can maintain their daily routine and independence and keep their pets.
We provide two service models to suit different needs: introductory and managed care. Managed live-in care in Reading means our team supervises, manages, and monitors a carer during their time in your loved one’s home. However, introductory care means we’ll recruit a self-employed carer to live and work in a senior’s home, who is independent of us.
Live-in care services available across Reading
Consultus Care provides fully managed live-in care in Reading, meaning we’ll match, manage, and monitor carers we employ, rather than those arranged through an agency model.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates managed live-in care in England, meaning you can trust we’ll deliver the highest standard of 24-hour care in your loved one’s home.
Our live-in care agency in Reading can tailor a care package to your loved one’s specific needs, which could vary from extra help around the house to specialist care or post-operative recovery. Whatever a senior’s needs, our highly trained nurses provide quality one-to-one care and companionship on your terms.
