Why Nova Care Consultants?

We're not just Independent Care Advisors, we are registered and regulated health and care practitioners with decades of experience in NHS and Social Services. We're also all experienced managers who have led NHS and Social Services teams, and whilst being a manager or leader is not a requirement for independent practice, we believe it enhances the service standard and quality you receive.

We truly understand the care systems and their complexities. We're here to shine a light on assessing, sourcing, setting up, monitoring and reviewing care services.

We're also able to work with families longer term, and some of our team are able to run Family Group Conferences, which are very similar to mediation. We believe that when we work together, we can achieve great things for the person in need.

What is the Lighthouse Service?

When families face difficult care decisions, the path forward can feel overwhelming and uncertain. That's where The Lighthouse brightens the way forward for you and your loved ones. Our flagship care advisory and care management services are designed to guide you safely through every step of your care journey.

In England and Wales, if you have over £23,250 (England) or over £50,000 (Wales), you become what is known by Social Services as "self-funding". This means you have to pay for all your care. We can help guide, navigate and arrange the right care for you, at the right price. We illuminate all your care options with clarity, compassion, and expertise.

We're able to work with families long term through our Living Safe and Well packages, where prices start from just £10 per week. Ready for us to ensure your wellbeing, safety and independence? Get in touch today for a free consultation.
