Established in 1959, Country Cousins is the UK's longest-running introductory live-in care agency. The company was founded by Josephine McGregor, a former Royal Navy Nursing Sister, who served in the UK and France during the Second World War. Inspired by her experiences in nursing, she began a small business from her home in West Sussex, offering local care and support to those in need.

More than 60 years later, her vision continues, and Country Cousins remains dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality live-in care, enabling people to maintain their independence and dignity in the comfort of their own homes.
