The Gloucester and The Forest of Dean Home Help & Housekeeping team, here to help every step of the way
As we age, it can become more challenging to keep on top of tasks around the house, such as cooking, vacuuming, laundry and washing up. Studies suggest there are 28,000 older people living in Gloucestershire with a long-term illness or disability which limits their day-to-day activity a lot. With home help and housekeeping support from Home Instead, our Care Professionals can help make your home a clean, organised space that promotes calm, positivity and comfort.
Home help can you remain in control of your surroundings without the stress of having to carry out physically demanding tasks. A clean space can help you feel more confident in your home environment and enjoy social interactions at home without the worry of having to tidy up.

Get in touch Why Home Help & Housekeeping may be right for you
Home help is essential in maintaining a safe and comfortable living environment, as well as remaining healthy with meal preparation and hydration support. We create a tailored care plan based on what you would like support with in your home and what goals you would like to achieve; whether it’s clearing out your wardrobe, dusting your family heirlooms or having a regular nutritious cooked meal.
Having home help means that the little tasks that you might be finding difficult, such as changing the bedding or organising the fridge can be made easier with support from Home Instead. Having assistance with housework is also a great way to build a relationship with a Care Professional when you’re starting to consider your future care needs.
What we do to care for your loved ones
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

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!
