Award-winning live-in care since 1962
Consultus Care and Nursing have extensive experience providing families with live-in care across Sussex, from Brighton’s urban communities to the rural hinterland of Weald and the coastal towns of Eastbourne and Worthing.
Sussex has one of the oldest age profiles in the Southeast, as 22% of the county’s combined 1.75 million population are aged 65 and over, and the proportion is rising. As most seniors have a deep attachment to their homes and communities, many would prefer to remain in their familiar surroundings rather than moving into residential care.
We make quality one-to-one care at home possible. For over 60 years, we’ve been providing families across the UK with our fully managed live-in care service, helping loved ones live well at home.

Live-in care services in Sussex
After carrying out a consultation and assessment, a professional carer moves into your loved one’s home to deliver round-the-clock support. Our live-in care services offer more than a visiting care arrangement, as a live-in carer is consistently present, providing your family member with dedicated, one-to-one support day and night.
As your loved one’s surroundings and routine matter greatly, we carefully match a live-in carer to their needs, personality, and lifestyle. This ensures your family member receives assistance from the same familiar face who’ll support their schedule and hobbies day after day.
Consultus Care is unlike other live-in care agencies in Sussex, as we offer something more: a fully managed service where every aspect of the arrangement — recruitment, vetting, matching, and ongoing oversight — is handled for you. This provides your family with ongoing peace of mind, as we manage, monitor, and support your parent or partner’s care around-the-clock.

Areas we cover for live-in care in Sussex
Consultus Care serves families across Sussex, ensuring every senior across the historic county has access to high-quality support at home.
East Sussex
East Sussex has the oldest age profile of the three authorities. Approximately 26% of residents are aged 65 and over, which is well above the national average. Many of its coastal towns, such as Eastbourne and Bexhill-on-Sea, have particularly concentrated older populations. Various inland, rural communities in High Weald and South Downs also have an ageing population.
As most older residents would prefer to remain in the home they’ve lived in for many decades, there’s a greater demand for live-in care in East Sussex. This allows seniors to remain in their familiar surroundings while staying close to the community they love.
West Sussex
West Sussex is the largest authority in the Sussex area with a population of approximately 885,000. The diverse ceremonial county combines communities close to London, coastal towns including Worthing and Littlehampton, and rural areas where residential care can cause significant disruption to a senior’s established community life. As some localised parts reportedly have 50% of residents who are aged 65 and over, live-in care in West Sussex is becoming increasingly popular across the county.
Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove is a vibrant city with a distinct character, as it offers a young urban centre alongside a sizable older community. Consultus Care provides live-in care in Brighton and Hove for residents who wish to remain in their homes regardless of age or care need.
