For those living with a life-limiting illness or condition, their personal priorities may vary, but all are equally important. We believe in designing care in ways that improve their quality of life, rather than restrict it, by arranging the things that bring them the most comfort. Whether that's cooking their favourite meals, facilitating meaningful conversations with loved ones, or helping them to work on a hobby they love, we take the time to learn what matters most to them before building a personalised care plan that fits.
Our Care Professionals can provide compassionate personal care, practical assistance and dependable support that's delivered in line with Care Quality Commission regulations, and helps create a calm and reassuring home environment. We work collaboratively with your family and your loved one's clinical team to ensure everyone is working towards the same goals while maintaining consistently high standards of care.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

Our Care Starts With Connection
The right Care Professional offers more than practical assistance – they can provide reassurance and become a familiar, trusted presence within your loved one's home. We always aim to match them with someone whose personality and approach complement their own, giving them the opportunity to build a genuine relationship through regular visits and spending meaningful time together. Whether accompanying them to appointments at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, supporting communication with visiting healthcare professionals or simply being there as a listening ear, our continuity helps create confidence for both your loved one and your family during a time when things may feel uncertain.
Alongside specialist palliative care training in communication, comfort measures and recognising changing needs, our Care Professionals receive ongoing support from our local team. We also do regular reviews with your family to help us ensure care remains responsive to your loved one's needs while also maintaining the meaningful relationships that bring them comfort, connection and peace of mind.

Hourly Home Care
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.

Our Gloucester Team is With You Through Every Step
For many people, there is simply no place more comforting than home. Studies find that people with a life-limiting illness and their families both prefer palliative care at home, so these familiar surroundings can allow your loved one to remain close to the people, possessions and routines that continue to bring reassurance to each day. Home Instead's Gloucester team helps families protect those precious moments by easing practical pressures and providing dependable support in the areas it's needed most. Your loved one's dedicated Care Professional can assist with things like respectful personal care, preparing their favourite meals and refreshments, encouraging hydration, helping them settle into a comfortable position for rest, and supporting their medical needs by following their personalised care plan. This can help to manage symptoms effectively while maintaining your loved one's comfort and dignity so you can spend more time together creating memories instead of managing daily responsibilities.
Behind every visit is a dedicated local office team coordinating care planning, organising schedules, reviewing the service regularly and responding quickly whenever your loved one's circumstances change. By working closely with district nurses, GPs and local palliative specialists, we ensure care remains personalised, coordinated and focused on their wellbeing.
