PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL LIVE-IN CARE IN THE KENT AREA
Live-in Care in Kent
We provide excellent care in the Kent area for clients who wish to stay in the comfort of their own homes. By remaining in familiar surroundings with family, friends, and pets all whilst receiving expert support and care, Consultus is on-hand 24/7 to ensure you and your loved ones receive the highest possible quality of life.
In addition to helping our clients live independently and safely, our live-in carers and live-in nurses can work closely with families to liaise with GPs and other medical professionals, to help alleviate the stress of coordinating external appointments.
With such enriching surroundings, your loved one or relative may wish to remain living in their Kent home with their family and pets around them, rather than moving to a care home. We have many live-in carers across Kent who are there to provide live-in care, as well as our Managed Care at Home service, which covers the South East area. Consultus carers are also able to help with shopping and day trips in Kent and can liaise with other healthcare professionals.
Kent, which is also known as the ‘Garden of England’ for its abundant hop and fruit agriculture, is a south-eastern county bordering London and Northern France through the Channel Tunnel. Kent is home to lots of history and heritage, including Canterbury Cathedral, Hever and Tonbridge Castle, and Knole House. Also in this county are the magnificent white cliffs of Dover, which, on a sunny day, you are able to see France from.

We provide tailored care for specialist conditions, such as dementia, Parkinsons, Motor Neurone Disease and cardiovascular disease. Our highly-qualified live-in carers and nurses can also provide cancer care and compassionate palliative care, empowering clients to remain in their homes and improve their quality of life.

The Benefits of Live-In Care
- Personalised Attention: Live-in care allows for one-to-one support, tailored to the individual needs of your loved one, ensuring they receive undivided attention.
- Comfort of Home: Remaining in their own home allows clients to stay in familiar surroundings with personal belongings and cherished memories. This is particularly important when a loved one is navigating a condition such as Dementia.
- Enhanced Independence: Live-in care helps maintain independence, enabling clients to stick to fond routines and preferences, unlike the more regimented schedules often found in residential care homes.
- Cost-Effective: For those requiring extensive care, live-in care can be more affordable than residential care alternatives, as it eliminates the costs associated with larger staff teams.

I adore working with carers that go above and beyond to make their clients smile and who have the kindest of hearts.
I am here to support you and your family every step of the way – please do not hesitate to contact me anytime:

I started with Consultus during Covid in August 2020.
What I love most about my job is the opportunity to meet the most amazing people. It is such a wonderful feeling to know that you are able to make a difference and allow someone to remain at home in their familiar surroundings with all their memories.
I take great pride in supporting our carers and the difference they make to a person’s life. It takes a special type of person to do what they do and so well.
