9.7% of the population of The Forest of Dean and 8.5% of the population of Gloucester are unpaid carers. At Home Instead, we recognise the importance of respite care at home which provides family caregivers with much-needed time, allowing them to take a break, run errands, or focus on other responsibilities without the worry of leaving their loved one alone. Respite care can encompass companionship, emotional support, personal care, medication management, home help and specialist care to help prevent caregiver burnout and ensure your loved ones are looked after so you can look after yourself.

Giving your time and attention to somebody you love is rewarding, but long-term caregiving is easier to sustain when you also have opportunities to rest, maintain your other relationships and enjoy life beyond this responsibility. Studies have found that at least 1 in 8 people throughout the UK provide some form of unpaid care, and carers are at a greater risk of experiencing anxiety or depression, so finding time to take breaks is incredibly important. Home Instead’s Gloucester team provides trusted respite care to ensure you always have dependable support whenever you need time away. Our Care Professionals can work around your family’s needs and allow your loved one to remain at home where they can enjoy familiar comforts and personalised companionship. All of our respite care is delivered according to Care Quality Commission regulations, helping you take that valuable time away knowing that your loved one continues to receive the respectful and professional support they deserve.
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.

The right companionship means your loved one can embrace the experience of respite care, and find comfort in spending time with someone who understands their interests and enjoys sharing everyday moments with them. That's why we match them with a dedicated Care Professional by considering things like their personality, hobbies, lifestyle and communication style alongside the expertise needed for any specific care requirements. Whether you are arranging a one-off visit or ongoing respite, your loved one's Care Professional will take the time to learn about their preferred routines, favourite activities, and how they want to be supported within their home. This allows them to retain as much control over their day as possible while you're gone. With support, they might want to go shopping at Gloucester Quays, get a coffee near Gloucester Docks, or just stay home to do some baking or play a game together. Alongside companionship, our highly trained Care Professionals can provide whatever services your loved one needs to stay safe and comfortable at home, such as personal care, Parkinson’s care, medication management, overnight care or dementia care. Our respite care is designed to help your loved one keep enjoying the life they know, so you can step away, breathe a little easier, and make your own wellbeing a priority from time to time.
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
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 live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Respite gives your loved one the chance to enjoy their independence while still having someone nearby when support is needed. They might choose to spend the day pursuing a specific interest, enjoying a social outing or simply appreciating the freedom to make choices themselves without being bound to your schedule. Different companionship can bring variety to their days, while giving them confidence that another Care Professional can help them feel more adaptable and secure. Your time apart can offer genuine benefits to your loved one too, while allowing you to focus on your own needs that may otherwise get pushed aside. Alongside the Care Professional who will visit your loved one's home, our local office team in Gloucester works behind the scenes to keep every part of the arrangement running smoothly. They will coordinate schedules, maintain communication with your family, and oversee the support from start to finish so you have a dependable wider network to call on whenever you need us. While you take time to enjoy your own life for a while, we give your loved one the freedom to enjoy theirs through personalised respite that can help you both feel more independent and energised. Whatever your family’s circumstances, we'll work together to create a respite arrangement you can feel completely comfortable with so you can take relaxing and fulfilling time away when you need to.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
