Live-in Nurses, Carers and Companions
From Great Britain’s Premier Home Care Management Service
As a wise young lady once said “There’s no place like home”.
There comes a time when many of us need extra help in our daily lives. We may be less sure on our feet, unable to take care of ourselves properly or perhaps forgetful in a way that causes our loved ones concern. We may have an illness or recently had an operation.
We know we need help, though often we are reluctant to admit it. Particularly if it means going into a care home or spending one more day in hospital than is necessary.
Moreover, we have our dignity, our privacy and proud independence. We know that no matter how frail or sick we become we will always be happier at home.
Consultus Care & Nursing Agency has been making it easy for older and less abled people to achieve their desire since 1962. Today we help more than a thousand people a year to stay happy, healthy and safe at home. Thanks to our our carers and qualified nurses, even many chronically ill people can spend their final days at home in peace and contentment.
How can we help you ?
Consultus specialises in Live-in Care and Live-in Nursing. This means that we can supply you with a friendly, carefully selected and suitably experienced nurse or care assistant to live and work with you at home for as long as you need. They will assist with your personal care, mobility and medical needs; they will help manage your home and provide you with pleasant companionship.
Our clients usually are privately funded, receive Social Services Direct Payments or qualify for NHS Continuing Care through their local health authority. All live-in services are available throughout England, Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands; live-in nursing can also be provided in Northern Ireland and some care services are also available in Spain, France and beyond.
Each of our clients is an individual with his or her own personal needs, preferences and priorities. Our aim is to provide carers or nurses whose personalities and interests complement those of their clients, making them great companions as well as valued assistants.
Some clients simply need a carer (or ‘personal assistant’) to help them with
| •
|
personal care |
•
|
driving |
| • |
getting around |
• |
prompting medication |
| • |
security |
• |
cooking |
| • |
companionship |
• |
light housework |
Some clients need a greater level of service. They may
have
| • |
a need for regular assistance by a Registered
Nurse; |
| •
|
osteoporosis; |
| •
|
continence issues; |
| •
|
loss of sight or hearing; |
| • |
a physical incapacity; |
| •
|
mobility problems; |
| • |
motor neurone, multiple sclerosis or other chronic illness |
|
| •
|
stroke or paralysis; |
| •
|
Parkinson’s disease or
Huntington’s chorea; |
| •
|
a form of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease or other older-age mental health problem; |
| • |
an acquired brain injury; |
| • |
had a recent operation; |
| •
|
a terminal illness. |
|
What all our clients have in common is that they have decided against a care home, hospice or unnecessarily long hospital stay. Instead they are enjoying an independent, dignified lifestyle and a settled future in their own home.
Clients’ conditions may change from time to time and they appreciate our flexible, well-resourced service which can adapt to meet their circumstances.
“Having
someone to live in your home is probably the most economical
and satisfactory means of obtaining help.”
