The Circle of Care
At Consultus Care and Nursing, we understand how deeply personal and complex the journey of supporting ageing parents can be. To gain deeper insight into the realities faced by families across the UK, we have commissioned a national survey of adults aged 50+ with living parents.
The results reveal a powerful shift in family roles and responsibilities:
68% of respondents worry about their parent's physical health
39% feel more like a caregiver than a child
And an overwhelming 94% believe it’s important their parent stays in their own home
These findings reflect the emotional weight and practical challenges many face, and reinforce our commitment to providing care that supports independence, dignity, and peace of mind—for both parents and their families.
How to talk about care at home
We know that talking about care can be difficult. Especially before a crisis point is reached. That’s why we’ve created a practical guide to help you start these important conversations with your loved ones.
Whether you're unsure how to begin, or you're looking for ways to approach the topic with sensitivity and clarity, our guide offers supportive advice and actionable steps to help you make plans with confidence.
