Why Families Choose Us
Small Enough to Know Your Name. Experienced Enough to Handle Anything.
Choosing home care on price alone is one of the biggest mistakes families make. The cheapest provider can mean undertrained carers, high staff turnover, and a different face at your parents’ door every week. The right question isn’t “what does it cost?” — it’s “who is actually looking after Mum or Dad?” Here is what sets First4Homecare apart.
🛡️One Person Is Accountable for Your Care
Choosing the right Registered Manager is one of the most important decisions a care business can make. Stacey, our RM, has 13 years of hands-on care experience. She personally supervises care delivery, oversees every carer’s training, and is directly accountable to the CQC for the standard of care each family receives.
✅CQC Rated Good
Maintaining a high standard of care is not easy. It requires constant management. Making sure every carer is up to date with their training, monitoring notes, policies, punctuality, dresscode. The Care Quality Commission inspects every registered home care provider. We are rated Good — the standard families should expect.

The Right Care For Mum or Dad — At Home
When the time comes to arrange care for a parent, it can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re managing it from a distance, alongside work and your own family. We’ve helped hundreds of Gloucester and Gloucester families find exactly the right level of support, and we’ll take the time to listen before we suggest anything. There’s no pressure, no obligation, and no one-size-fits-all care plan.
We build each care package around your loved one’s routine, their preferences, their personality, and the things that matter most to them. Whether Mum needs a little help in the morning or Dad requires round-the-clock support, we’ll match the right carer and the right hours to your family’s exact situation.
Every one of our carers is thoroughly vetted, DBS-checked, and trained to a high standard before they ever step through your family’s door. From Moving & Handling and Medication Management through to specialist Dementia and Parkinson’s training, our team delivers care that is genuinely compassionate — not just competent.
You do not have to figure this out on your own. Call us on 01452 346 905 and we will talk you through everything — honestly and without any pressure.

Most families feel unsure at this point. That’s completely normal. Here’s exactly what happens.

Common Questions About Home Care
How much does home care in Gloucester cost?
Home care costs depend on the type and frequency of care your loved one needs. We are transparent about pricing from the first conversation — call us on 01452 346 905 and we will give you a clear idea of costs before any commitment. There are no hidden fees and no long-term contracts.
Is financial help available for home care?
Yes. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for local authority funding through Gloucestershire County Council, NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), Attendance Allowance, or direct payments. We can help point you in the right direction during our initial conversation. Many families are surprised by what support is available.
How quickly can care start?
For most families, care can begin as soon as possible based on your needs and our team availability. We understand that care needs often arise urgently — after a hospital stay, a fall, or a sudden change in health. Our care coordinators prioritise fast assessments and carer matching so your loved one is not left without support.
How much does home care cost?
Home care costs depend on the type and frequency of care your loved one needs. We are transparent about pricing from the first conversation — there are no hidden fees and no long-term contracts. For many families, home care costs the same as or less than a residential care home, with the added benefit of staying at home. Read our guide to home care costs.
Will Mum or Dad have the same carer each visit?
Continuity is one of our core promises. We match your loved one with a small, consistent team of named carers. Your parent gets to know their carers personally — and their carers know exactly how your parent likes their tea, which chair they prefer, and what makes them smile.
What if my loved one has dementia?
We provide specialist dementia care from carers who have completed advanced dementia training. Our approach focuses on maintaining routines, reducing confusion, and preserving dignity. We work alongside GPs, memory clinics, and the Alzheimer’s Society to ensure your loved one receives joined-up support. Read about our dementia care service.
Can home care replace a care home?
For most people, yes. With the right care package — including live-in care for those who need round-the-clock support — your loved one can remain safely at home for as long as they choose. We always give honest advice. If we believe a care home would better meet your loved one’s needs, we will tell you. Read our guide: home care vs residential care.
How do I start?
The quickest way to start is to call our care team on 01452 346 905 so they can arrange a care assessment at your home, where care is to be provided.
