Our history
“My late aunt, Mrs Anne Stephens, believed passionately that, particularly during older age, people are happiest and most content in their own home. She founded Consultus Care and Nursing in 1962 to offer older people and those living with conditions that impact their ability to live well a unique alternative to the regimentation of a care home or hospital. Today, we remain a family-run business based firmly on her vision of keeping alive people’s dreams of living independently at home, surrounded by the people, pets and memories that are most precious to them.
“Just as my aunt did, we see the opportunity to provide a friendly face to care every day for you or your cherished family member as a gift, and, as specialists in live-in care and nursing, it’s a privilege to be able to provide bespoke care. Like the many thousands of people we’ve cared for over the years, it was what my parents wanted, and it’s what I’d want for myself.”
Peter Seldon, CEO
Why choose Consultus Care and Nursing?

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.
