The Gloucester and The Forest of Dean Day Care team, here to help every step of the way
Gloucester City Council found during their social prescribing pilot that 75% of referrals were self-declared as isolated or lonely. Day care from Home Instead provides support with day-to-day activities, encourages engagement in hobbies or leisure activities and assists with access to the community. Having a friendly Care Professional to help you maintain an active lifestyle can greatly reduce social isolation and loneliness.
Day care supports family carers by providing support with daily tasks, food preparation, medication, companionship and personal care when they can’t be there. Each client has a personalised care plan which details their preferences, hobbies and what support they would like to maintain their independence at home.

A completely wonderful, caring team – always a ‘can do’ attitude! With their care, my parents were able to stay living in their own home for longer before needing to move for specialist 24-hour care. Totally reliable – the daily carers were fantastic not only in their professional standards of care but also their friendliness and the respect and dignity they afforded my Mum and Dad.
Mrs C, daughter of client

Since Home Instead have been caring for both my parents, I can clearly see Mum and Dad are so much happier. The carers are cooking them proper meals, assisting with housework and providing excellent personal care for Mum. I have to say the caregiver goes above and beyond and we are so grateful as a family for all the help.
Mrs G, daughter of client

Mum and Dad have never had a cleaner or any sort of help so it was a huge step to take and one everyone was nervous about. However, the manager got to know them personally and ensured they received just what they needed. Having home help has relieved us of some of those everyday tasks that suck energy and precious time. It’s only been a week but it has been a real game changer for us already!
