Live-In Care in Gloucester
Yes, NeeryVille Care provides live-in care in Gloucester, with a carer who lives in your relative’s home in Kingsholm, Barnwood, Tuffley, Longlevens, Quedgeley, Hempsted and the rest of the city. One DBS-checked person stays, learns the house and the habits, and is there at the first cup of tea and the last light switched off. A conversation with us carries no cost.
Is Gloucestershire Royal Hospital about to let your relative go home? The Great Western Road site began in 1912 as a 149-bed infirmary and the eleven-storey tower was finished in 1975. Tell us the day you are given, and we will speak with the ward so a carer, a warm bedroom and a quiet first evening are ready.
A city that remembers the floods of 2007 can still feel hard to manage on your own once walking and shopping begin to tire you. Call 0208 129 5854 and we will talk it through, with no obligation.

Live-In Care at Home in Gloucester: the Docks, the Cathedral and Robinswood Hill
Take a former warehouseman from the Docks, now eighty-seven, who has followed Gloucester Rugby since he was a boy and once stood in the Shed at Kingsholm every other Saturday. His legs no longer allow it every week, but on a home fixture with a dry forecast his carer helps him into his scarf, drives him across, steadies him on the steps and sits at his side. He talks about old tries all the way back, and eats a proper tea afterwards.
Does your father or mother have a team, a street or a pastime that makes them light up? Telephone us and tell us about it.
Those outings are possible because the quiet hours are well run, so here is an honest account of what a live-in carer does from morning to night.
Mornings Without a Clock
The day starts when your relative is ready, not when a rota says so. The carer is already in the house, so help with washing and dressing arrives the moment it is wanted.
Hills, Docks and Quiet Corners
Robinswood Hill is a 100-hectare country park rising 198 metres south of the centre, and the Docks are a flat stroll by the water. The carer picks the route, carries the flask and turns round the moment your relative wishes.
Pills, Clinics and Letters
Medicines are given on time and noted down. When a clinic letter arrives, the carer reads it with your relative, comes to the appointment and sends the family a clear account afterwards.
Home Cooking, Their Way
Meals follow health advice and old favourites, from a proper Sunday roast to a supper of toast and tea. The carer shops with your relative and cooks what they ask for.
Sound and Company
Gloucester Cathedral hosts the Three Choirs Festival in turn with Worcester and Hereford, and a carer can find a recording of a choir your relative has sung with and play it in the front room. Company in the house is also company for the ear.
Careful on the Stairs
The carer is nearby at the top and bottom of the stairs and in the bathroom, takes loose rugs away and warns the family early about anything in the house that is becoming unsafe.

Why Gloucester Families Turn to NeeryVille Care
Before writing this page we looked at what a family finds when searching for live-in care in Gloucester. One directory lists 33 providers and shows a weekly price for sixteen of them, a franchise page gives no price, no hospital, no council and no questions and answers, and an agency-matching page names the hospital and the county council but states no price. We put the hospital, the county council, the local dementia adviser and the daily figure on one page, and place one employed carer in your relative’s home. Here is why Gloucester families choose us.
Someone who knows them
Within weeks the carer knows which radio station is on at breakfast, how your relative takes their tea and what upsets them. They are looked after as a person with a lifetime behind them, not as a list of tasks to tick.
Our same-carer approach is built on this. When a person has dementia, a face that turns up every day can quieten a restless evening.
Stop within 14 days
If the care is not working in the first 14 days, you may end it immediately, with no notice to give and nothing to pay.
That is our 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee, and it means a Gloucester family can try live-in care knowing they are free to walk away.
Carers on our own payroll
NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission. Each carer is employed, trained and overseen by us rather than being a self-employed name from a list. You can look up our registration on the CQC website.
Clinical guidance
Placements run inside a clinical governance framework led by experienced clinicians, which keeps support for dementia, Parkinson’s disease or recovery after a stroke consistent from week to week.
Quick to start
Gloucestershire Royal Hospital may give a discharge date with little warning. After our first meeting a carer is usually in place inside 24 to 48 hours, so 24 hour care in Gloucester can be ready before your relative gets home. Give us the date as soon as you have it and we will go through the first evening together.
Overseen by a Registered Manager
Daniel Johnson, our Registered Care Manager, has twelve years in care with specialist dementia expertise and oversees every placement in person. When you call, you reach him or a member of the care team.

Dementia Care and Live-In Support in Gloucester: When to Act
Rarely is there a single moment when a family decides. Live-in care deserves a close look when your relative needs help through the night as well as the day and will not hear of leaving home.
Imagine a man of eighty-five in Longlevens who, since his wife died, wakes at three in the morning convinced he must be at work. One night he is found walking towards the canal in his dressing gown. His son lives an hour away. An ambulance takes him to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, and the ward asks who will be at home when he leaves. A carer sleeping in the house would have heard the door and walked him back to bed. Ring us before the second night, not after it.
We start with the questions about his old job, his habits and his favourite meals, and the care plan follows from the answers.
Maybe you are the daughter who has not had a full night’s sleep for months. Choosing respite care in Gloucester lets you step back for a few days or a few weeks while one carer lives in at your father’s home. Telephone us and we will choose dates.
Conditions Our Carers Support in Gloucester
Our live-in carers in Gloucester support people living with dementia, recovering from a stroke, or living with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer and reduced mobility, in Kingsholm, Barnwood, Tuffley, Longlevens, Quedgeley and the neighbourhoods around Gloucester.
If your loved one has a condition that is not listed, please
call us on
0208 129 5854.
Usually we can still help, and we will tell you plainly if we cannot.
If the need is mostly at night, our overnight care may suit better.
Under One Roof: Couples in Gloucester
Consider a couple who sang together in a choir for fifty years and loved the Three Choirs Festival when it came to the cathedral. He now has dementia and often cannot find the right word, while she has heart failure and tires on the stairs. Their daughter lives abroad. A care home would put one in a room along one corridor and the other somewhere else, and neither can imagine it.
A single live-in carer can pace her rest, prepare meals for both, give him calm company and familiar music, and go with them to the surgery. Phone us and we will outline how one placement could look after both of them.

Why Gloucester Families Choose Live-In Care at Home Instead of a Care Home
If your relative has made their life in Gloucester, live-in care means they can stay behind their own front door and keep the routes they know.
The city began as the Roman fort of Glevum, grew around an abbey that is now the cathedral, and opened its docks in 1812. For many older residents that history is simply the background of ordinary days, and it is easier to enjoy from a familiar chair.
At home your relative has their own bed, their own kettle and their own pace. One carer moves in and learns the details, so the same person helps at breakfast and again at bedtime, and a husband and wife can remain together with a single carer for both.
A journey to the surgery or the shops can be wearing, and when a stay at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital ends, that same carer can be at home to help with the stairs, the errands and short walks.
To discuss what could suit your family, ring us on 0208 129 5854. Ask whatever you like, with no obligation.
Paying for Live-In Care in Gloucester: £190 a Day
Cost is the question most families ask first, so here is the answer.
Live-in care with NeeryVille in Gloucester starts from £190 per day, fully inclusive. No hidden fees, no extra charges.
Once the free assessment is done, you get the exact figure in writing before you commit.
What the Day Rate Covers
One week in Gloucester could hold a morning at the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum in the old Custom House, a walk up Robinswood Hill and a Sunday visit to the cathedral. For the daily rate, a carer lives in your relative’s home, gets up if called at night, helps with washing and dressing, cooks full meals, gives medicines and records each dose, keeps an eye on the stairs and accompanies them to appointments.
Some needs call for extra planning and are priced after a chat, such as dementia care at home, live-in care for a couple and recovery after an operation. Describe the situation and you will get plain advice.
Paying for Care at Home in Gloucester
On timing, the NHS says a decision on NHS Continuing Healthcare usually comes within 28 days of a full assessment, and fast-tracked within about 48 hours for people nearing the end of life. It is free health and social care arranged and funded solely by the NHS for people with long-term complex health needs.
Gloucestershire County Council’s Adult Social Care Helpdesk is on 01452 426 868. It will discuss needs, give information about support and arrange an assessment if required, and the council says an assessment is needed before it can arrange or pay for care. We mention it as background, and nobody has to start there.
Age UK Gloucestershire’s Help Team gives free, confidential and independent advice on 01452 422660 from its base in Barnwood. For worries about memory, Dementia Adviser Gloucestershire, run by the Alzheimer’s Society, is on 01452 525222 from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
A live-in carer can begin before any funding decision, so there is no need to wait for a letter.
Not sure where to begin?

How We Start in Gloucester:
Families often say that the first call was the hard bit. From there, four stages take you to a carer in the house.
01
Lift the phone
Nothing has to be ready first.
Call 0208 129 5854 and Daniel Johnson or a member of the care team will pick up.
Tell us how things stand at home and we will say what is possible, with no paperwork and no pressure.
Arranging live-in care is our daily work, and a first conversation that is hard to start is nothing new to us.
03
Learning their life
We ask what Gloucester has meant to your relative. It could be a father who worked for the Gloster Aircraft Company, a childhood Sunday school in the tradition begun by Robert Raikes in 1780, or the memory of the 2007 floods and the neighbours who shared water.
Those stories go into the care plan and the carer raises them when the time feels right. Get in touch when you are ready.
Picking the carer
Experience is matched to health needs and temperament to temperament, so the new arrival fits the household.
Under the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee you can judge how the first fortnight goes.
02
04
Arriving at the door
Most carers arrive within a day or two of our meeting, and faster if the hospital has fixed a date.
If your relative is still at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, the carer’s first day is fitted to what the ward has planned.
One contact stays with you from the first phone call until everything is running smoothly.
Ring today and a carer could be sitting with your relative within a day or two. If the ward has named a discharge day, give it to us and we will work back from there.
Our Registered Care Manager comes to carry out the free assessment and telephones again once the carer has settled. We only do live-in care, so whoever answers understands it fully.

Live-In Care in Gloucester: What Families Ask Us
How much does live-in care in Gloucester cost?
Live-in care in Gloucester is £190 per day, fully inclusive, with nothing added later. You see the exact figure in writing after the free assessment and before you agree.
How quickly can live-in care start in Gloucester?
Normally a carer moves in one or two days after we meet, even when the first call comes from a bed at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. Everything begins with one conversation.
Do you provide live-in care for people with dementia?
Yes. A familiar house and one steady carer give a person with dementia a face and a pattern they can rely on. Dementia Adviser Gloucestershire offers local advice on 01452 525222, and a GP can arrange a memory assessment.
Is live-in care better than a care home?
Only a family can answer that. At home your relative keeps their own bed, neighbours and a single carer, and a husband and wife can stay together. We talk through the practicalities with you first.
What happens if my carer is ill or on holiday?
When the regular carer is unwell or away, we arrange a replacement so that your relative is never left without support.
Is NeeryVille Care regulated by the CQC?
Yes. NeeryVille Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission, and the details are on our CQC provider page.
Which areas of Gloucester do you cover?
We cover the whole city, from the Cathedral and the Docks to Kingsholm, Barnwood, Tuffley, Longlevens, Hempsted and Quedgeley, and the rest of Gloucestershire.
Do you offer respite care in Gloucester?
Yes, respite care in Gloucester is part of our service. If you look after a parent or partner and need rest, a live-in carer can step in for a long weekend or for several weeks.
Can you support a hospital discharge?
Yes. By the time your relative leaves Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, the carer can be at home with the heating on and the first day planned.
What is the 14-Day Live Well at Home Guarantee?
In the first 14 days you may stop the care at once if it does not suit, without notice and without paying a fee.
How do I pay, and can I get funding?
Payment is by Bank Transfer or Direct Debit only. You may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare or for help after an assessment by Gloucestershire County Council, and Age UK Gloucestershire can advise on benefits.
Could a live-in carer take my father to a Gloucester Rugby home match at Kingsholm?
If he feels well enough, yes. Kingsholm Stadium opened in 1891 and its North Stand, the Shed, holds about 3,000 people. The carer can check the steps, bring a cushion and a warm drink and get him home safely after the final whistle.
Is it realistic for my mother to visit Gloucester Cathedral again?
The cathedral’s fan-vaulted cloisters date from the fourteenth century and the Great East Window from 1350. The carer can work out a quiet time, check opening arrangements first, bring a folding seat and let her take as long as she likes.
Who locally can talk to us about my husband’s memory worries?
Dementia Adviser Gloucestershire, an Alzheimer’s Society service, offers advice for people with dementia, carers and families, and for anyone worried about their memory, on 01452 525222, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. The carer can sit in on the call.
