We have 60+ years of experience
Operating since 1959, Country Cousins is the longest established introductory live-in care agency in the UK. Having served as a Royal Navy Nursing Sister in the UK and France during WW2, Josephine McGregor started a small business from her home in West Sussex, providing local care and assistance for those who needed it.
What began as ‘Country Cousins and Emergency Mothers’ in the spare room of Josephine’s house, has since grown from a modest local enterprise into one of the nation’s leading introductory live-in care agencies.
Today, we provide self-employed, live-in carers nationwide to more than 500 clients each week, offering compassionate and professional care for the elderly, those convalescing in their own home, and disabled adults who need extra support to live independently.
We’re always fully focused on providing the best quality home care at all times, and stand by our uncompromising desire to deliver quality care and choice. The choice to remain in your own home, and the choice to continue to live your life in the company of a carefully selected Country Cousin carer.
Customer service with a difference
Our dedicated team of Care Relationship Executives work tirelessly to find the perfect live-in carer for you based on your specific care needs. Whether that be someone who can drive or someone who shares your love of cooking – you can be sure that we will have someone suitable on our books. You will then keep the same point of contact throughout your relationship with us.
Our carers care
Do they like pets? Are they avid gardeners? Are they fans of Scrabble? These seemingly small details can make a big difference when you’re living with someone. That’s why we’ll carefully consider the answers to these questions and similar, as well as work history and personal qualities when matching you to one of our Country Cousin carers.
