Elderly care
Exceptional elderly care at home for over 60 years
Elderly care at home
As we grow older, the desire to remain in the comfort, safety, and familiarity of home becomes more important than ever. People naturally feel better in their own homes, and our live-in elderly care and nursing give more people the freedom to make their own choices and to live life their way. At Consultus Care and Nursing, we offer personalised, one-to-one live-in elderly care at home that enables older people to continue living independently at home - with dignity, compassion, and around-the-clock support.
Whether it’s a little help with day-to-day tasks or support of specialist conditions, our professional carers and nurses are here to ensure that life can continue as comfortably and safely as possible, in the place that means most - home. Because life is better at home.
What is elderly care at home?
Elderly care at home is a highly personalised service that supports older adults with everyday living, personal care, companionship, and in some cases, nursing. At Consultus Care, this service is delivered by carefully selected experienced carers.
Choosing live-in elderly care or nursing gives you one-to-one care and support, whilst keeping you in control of your life and your surroundings. It’s life as you want it, with all the care that you need. This service is available as a long-term arrangement or as short-term respite to afford a family carer a well-earned break with peace of mind.
What does elderly care at home cover?
We understand the importance of independence. Our elderly care at home service is as comprehensive as it is flexible, thoughtfully designed to support your loved one’s existing lifestyle and routines. Our experienced carers provide a wide range of services to support and improve quality of life:

Why choose Consultus Care and Nursing?
One of the longest-established and most trusted providers
Founded in 1962, we have always been innovators in live-in care and live-in nursing. With over 60 years’ experience, we are one of the country’s longest-established, most highly recommended and experienced providers.
Unrivalled choice and control over your care
We understand that every person’s needs are different and every family’s situation is unique. With our choice of fully managed live-in care and nursing, and our introductory service, we offer more flexibility and personalisation than any other provider.
Highly trained nurses and carers
We are nationally recognised for the quality of our nurses and carers. With market-leading training, delivered at our own, multi-award-winning training centre (a Skills for Care Centre of Excellence), they provide exemplary, compassionate care tailored to individual needs, offering total peace of mind for clients and their families.
Expert care and support, dedicated to you
Our Care Consultants oversee our nursing and managed care services supporting only a small number of families. This means our service is truly personal, with unrivalled support and continuity of care. Reassurance that we are there when you need us most.
Family-founded, family-owned
We continue to be a family-owned and family-managed business. The largest wholly family-owned live-in care provider in the UK, we focus on what our clients and their families need from a high-quality care service, not on meeting investors’ expectations.
How we provide elderly care at home
At Consultus Care, we offer three distinct live-in care services for those requiring additional support at home. We are committed to ensuring our clients receive the right level of care that meets their needs, whilst providing choice as to how their care arrangement is managed.
Introductory live-in care
With our introductory live-in care service, we recruit a self-employed carer who works in your home for you, independently of us. In contrast to our managed live-in care service, with introductory care, we do not direct, supervise or manage the carers we introduce to you, and the carers are paid directly by you.
Managed live-in care
Our fully managed live-in care service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, which results in regular inspections to ensure the care we provide is of the highest standard. We fully manage the service, which means carers are supervised, managed and monitored by us when working in a client’s home.
Live-in nursing
Our live-in nurses are fully qualified registered nurses, with a minimum of three years post qualification experience. They are carefully selected for their specific skills and knowledge and have a broad range of experience including community and acute nursing, and palliative care.
What our clients say
"Consultus Care allowed us to keep our Mum at home following a fall and a hip break. This meant that she had a really good quality of life; her friends could visit her easily. It made a huge difference to her to be in her own surroundings.
The quality of care was excellent throughout."
