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.
