About Us
We provide care at home in Gloucester and the surrounding area. The people we support include older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairments.
Needs that varied cannot be met from a standard package, so we ask before we plan. For an older person, help often centres on personal care, medication, meals and keeping the house manageable. For a younger adult it is more likely to be about independence: running a home, getting to work or college, handling money and keeping appointments. Where somebody is living with dementia, a familiar and unhurried carer does more good than anything written down.
Continuity is the part of this work that matters most and the part that is hardest to get right. We try to send the same carers to the same households, because that is what allows somebody to notice when a person is unwell or not themselves.
Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We would rather tell you that ourselves than leave you to find it later. We are working through the points the inspectors raised and are willing to go through the report with anyone considering us.
If you are looking into care at home, please get in touch. We will be honest about what we can take on and what we cannot.
