Live-in care for couples
Together at home - with live in care for couples
When it comes to ageing together, live-in care offers couples the opportunity to continue sharing their lives without the disruption of moving into a residential care or nursing home. Our flexible and compassionate care delivered by expert carers, means couples can stay in comfort of home with all the care and support they need.
What is live-in care for couples?
It can be worrying for all the family when you realise that one or both of you require more support with daily life. Maybe one of you is living with a condition like dementia, and the other is finding it difficult to provide the support needed. Perhaps you both require different levels of care to enable you to live well in your own home. We know that one of the most common concerns for couples is they may be separated if they move into a residential care setting.
In these situations, live-in care is proving to be the far preferred alternative to residential care, as you can avoid the unwanted disruption that moving out of a cherished family home often brings.
At Consultus, our live-in care for couples offers you, your spouse or partner, personal, dedicated care at home. One of our compassionate carers will offer continuous support and companionship whenever you need it, focusing on enhancing your quality of life. This may include managing household tasks, supporting your mobility, providing discreet personal care, managing medications, joining you on outings, running errands, or ensuring you remain active in your community.
Benefits of live-in care for couples
Our live-in care services for couples
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.

Costs of live-in care for couples
For couples, live-in care offers a cost-effective way to receive the support you both need. A care home will typically charge a weekly fee for caring for each individual based on their needs. In addition there will be a weekly fee for accommodation for two bedrooms. This means live-in care for couples is a far more attractive and affordable option when compared to a care home.
The weekly cost of your live-in care will depend on the level of care and support you each need. If both your care needs can be met by one live-in carer, the cost of live-in care for couples is very attractive, with only a nominal fee being added to one weekly cost of care.
If you wish to receive our managed live in care service, a Care Consultant local to you will conduct a thorough assessment of your individual needs, but also how you like to live as a couple. We would then be able to confirm the exact cost of care for you both.
