Award-winning live-in care since 1962
Live-in care in St Albans makes it possible to receive dignified support at home. As the cathedral city, which is a stone’s throw from London, is bursting with history and culture, it makes sense that your loved one would want to remain in the property they’ve lived in for many decades.
By arranging a highly trained live-in carer from Consultus Care and Nursing, your family member will never need to move out of their home. Thanks to their 24/7 support, your parent or partner can stay close to their pets, belongings, and memories, and continue to feel part of St Albans’ strong community.
Founded in 1962, we have over 60 years of experience providing families across the UK with the highest standard of live-in care. Our careful matching process ensures the right carer moves into your loved one’s home to provide around-the-clock support and companionship.

Home care in St Albans
Unlike hourly home care in St Albans, which offers visiting hours from a rotation of carers, live-in care provides your family member with round-the-clock support at home with no shift handovers.
A highly trained carer moves in with your loved one on an agreed date to provide one-to-one support and attention. To help your loved one live well at home, a carer assists with personal care, medication management, housekeeping, meal preparation, mobility support, and more.
In addition to providing everyday support at home, our live in care in St Albans service also includes specialist care for complex conditions, such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and post-surgery recovery.
As they’ll spend day and night together, our team carefully matches a carer to your loved one’s specific care needs, personality, and lifestyle. Our live-in care service ensures your family member receives the appropriate support and develops genuine companionship with their carer. Whether you live close to your loved one or far away, you can relax knowing that the same carer offers a reassuring presence day after day, night after night.

Home care in St Albans
Families can choose from many home care in St Albans options to match their needs. While visiting hourly care is right for some, live-in care is the most comprehensive form available.
Unlike visiting care that has hourly visits from rotating carers, our fully managed live-in service in St Albans provides 24/7 support and companionship from the same highly trained live-in carer.
It provides greater peace of mind that your family member always receives continuity of care, as your loved one always has access to reliable one-to-one support in the comfort of their home. We carefully monitor, manage, and supervise a live-in carer, ensuring your parent or partner is never left without cover.
Why choose live-in care in St Albans?
Many parents are initially reluctant to receive professional care, as they might fear giving up their home, belongings, pets, and even their identity. However, live-in care in St Albans allows your family member to stay close to what matters most while receiving 24/7 support and companionship. As a compassionate carer is by their side, your parent can maintain a safe, independent lifestyle, stay connected to their community, and enjoy much-loved hobbies and activities at their leisure.
Unlike a care home, which divides rotating carers’ attention between residents, your loved one receives one-to-one support day and night. As a live-in carer understands your family member’s needs and gets to know them personally, they’ll quickly identify any changes to their health and wellbeing, ensuring the person you love receives the appropriate help.
For the above reasons, live in care could be a smarter choice for the family, as the cost is typically comparable to a care home, especially for couples. As a result, you can relax in the knowledge that one or both of your parents are well-cared for as they grow older.
