Home care after hospital in Gloucestershire

If you or someone you love is coming home from hospital in Gloucestershire, call us, day or night. Our on-call team answers, and you can tell us the planned discharge date so we can plan around it. Your first step is a free assessment, usually within 48 hours, and care can start the same week, depending on needs.

Ask the ward team who is arranging your discharge, what help you will need at home, and which care options they can arrange. You can also arrange care yourself and call us directly. Many people find it easier to have a first visit lined up before the day they come home.

• Help with washing, dressing and getting around
• Meals and drinks, and medication reminders
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Companionship and a regular face
• Overnight and live-in care if more support is needed

Almost all our visits are 30 minutes or longer, planned with you.

You can start with a couple of visits a week and build up only if you want to. A regular team of about four carers delivers more than 8 in 10 of a client’s visits (June to September 2026, from our own visit records), so you get to know the people who come.

We support people coming home to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Cirencester and nearby villages, including from Cheltenham General Hospital and Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. Our office is in Cheltenham and our carers visit you at home.
