Professional carers use an electronic system for proactive medication management, which is closely monitored by care managers.

Your carer will plan and cook meals according to your choice, preferences and nutritional needs, all served at a time that suits you.
Pet care
Carers will happily support looking after your pet, including dog walking, cleaning their homes and providing regular food and love.
Community trips
Staying connected to your community is great for your well-being, which is why our carers will support you to access activities you enjoy.

Mobility support
Ensuring safe mobility in and around your home, including assistance with mobility aids and avoiding slips, trips and fall hazards.
How we provide live in care in Gloucestershire
There are several different situations when live in care can be used to support your care and support needs, including:
- 24-hour live in care for when round the clock care is needed to ensure a person can continue to live well in their own home.
- Respite care can provide a family carer with a much-needed break from caring for a loved one, or can be used as an opportunity to see how live in care works and whether it is right for you and your family.
- Short term care or intermediate care following discharge from a Gloucestershire hospital or for those needing post-operative rehabilitation.
- Complex care of medical and specialist conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis can be supported with 24-hour home care – there is no need to go into a care home to receive this level of care.
- End-of-life/palliative care which ensures a person’s needs and preferences are met until the very end of their life.
- Emergency care at home for those who need an urgent live in care arrangement put in place following unexpected surgery, an accident or sudden illness.
Meet our local team in Gloucestershire
We operate throughout England and Scotland with a local approach to management of our teams near you. Each dedicated care manager local to you has only a small number of clients to support. This means they can provide higher levels of monitoring and support than other home care providers. It also means a highly personalised approach to care can be delivered.
Our professional carers in Gloucestershire complete our industry-leading training programme, regardless of their prior experience. This ensures they can support a range of conditions affecting older individuals, including complex needs requiring additional monitoring, care, and support.
From training and probation to placement and beyond, our carers continuously develop new skills to deliver the high-quality care you and your loved ones deserve, always seeking ways to enhance the support they provide.

Find out what we believe makes great live in care in our video.
In-house carer training
All of our carers complete a training programme developed by in-house clinicians before being assigned to a placement. Plus, they’ll receive additional enhanced training for complex care needs.
Fully managed service
We are not a care agency. We directly employ, train, and supervise all of our carers. That means you’ll receive consistent, reliable support, from carers we know and trust.
Dementia care experts
Our in-house experts, including Clinical Lead Sabah Shah and Dementia Champion Nichola Proctor, support our care teams to deliver compassionate dementia care at every stage of the condition.
Award-winning care
We’ve won more awards than any other home care provider for our service, training and culture. Including a Home Care Award, and a National Dementia Care Award.
Benefits of live-in care
There are many other compelling benefits to receiving care in your much-loved home as opposed to enduring the upheaval and disruption that comes from moving into a care home. Highly personalised one-to-one care just cannot be provided in a care home and the way you choose to live your life will be restricted by imposed routines – when to get up, eat your food and when to socialise. For couples, live in care means you can stay together as a loving couple with the care and support you need, something that is not guaranteed if both of you move into a residential care home. Live in care for couples is a very cost-effective option when compared to needing two packages of care in a care home – with live in care in Gloucestershire there is only a nominal additional fee to provide care to a couple.

Helpful resources in Gloucestershire
There are several local independent charities working in Gloucestershire supporting older people to help them get the most out of life. Whether it is information on certain conditions that affect older people, provision of a support network, help with accessing funding for care, local charities are there to provide products and services in Gloucestershire that enable older people to live a fulfilled, enjoyable and dignified life.
Below are some local charities in Gloucestershire that may be able to provide information, guidance and support for you and your family:
Staying at home with high quality live in care in Gloucestershire
According to a survey conducted by the Live In Care Hub, 97% of us given the choice would prefer to carry on living at home whilst receiving the care we need. However, when families are faced with the realization that their loved one or family member needs increasing levels of care and support, many still feel the only option is to move into a care or nursing home. Whilst there are many good care homes in Gloucestershire, live in care is fast becoming the preferred choice for those who wish to continue to live in their own home, whilst receiving the care and support they need to have a good quality of life.
