Professional Home Care in Gloucester

First4Homecare has been providing home care in Gloucester and across Gloucestershire since 2016. We’re not a distant corporate agency—we’re a local, family-run care provider with deep roots in this community and genuine relationships with the families we support. Our team knows Gloucester well, from the hospitals and healthcare centres to the local parks and shops.

Why Staying at Home Matters

For most people, home is where memories live. It’s where you feel safe, comfortable and in control. Moving into residential care can feel like losing independence and identity. Home care is different—we bring professional, compassionate support to you, allowing you to stay in the place you know and love whilst receiving the help you need.

Whether you’re recovering from illness, managing a long-term condition, living with dementia or simply needing extra help with daily tasks, home care tailored to your needs allows you to maintain your routines, stay connected to your community and preserve your dignity and independence.

Our Services in Gloucester

We offer a full range of home care services across Gloucester, Quedgeley, Longlevens, Hucclecote, Barnwood, Tuffley and Churchdown and surrounding postcodes. Our team provides personal care, dementia support, companionship, live-in care, overnight care, respite care, hospital discharge support, palliative care and complex care. Every service is CQC-registered and tailored to your individual circumstances.

Whether you need care for just a few hours each week or round-the-clock support, we work flexibly to match your needs and budget. Our approach is always person-centred: we ask questions, listen carefully and design a care plan that respects who you are and how you want to live.

About First4Homecare

Founded in 2016, First4Homecare has grown from a small local provider into one of the most respected home care services in Gloucestershire. We’re led by Stacey Cole, Registered Manager, who brings 17 years years of direct care experience and a genuine passion for helping older people live well at home.

Our team includes 26 trained carers, all vetted, trained and regularly supported through ongoing professional development. Stacey Cole holds advanced qualifications in care management, safeguarding, and medication administration and ensures every carer reflects our values of compassion, professionalism and respect.

We’re registered with the Care Quality Commission under registration number 1-3177038785 and maintain a Good rating. This means our standards are regularly inspected and verified by independent experts. We’ve also received Top 20 Home Care Group in the UK 2025, recognition of our commitment to excellence.

What Families Say About Us

We have 102 client reviews and maintain an average rating of 9.5/5 across independent platforms. One recent client told us: “The carer who visits our mum is like a member of the family. She’s patient, kind and knows exactly what our mum needs.” Another family said: “I can finally sleep at night knowing Dad is being looked after properly.”

The families we serve trust us because they know we genuinely care, we listen, we adapt and we’re always available when they need us.

How to Get Started

Step 1: Call us for an initial chat. Ring 01452 346 905 and speak to a real person who understands care. There’s no pressure and no obligation—we just want to understand your situation and see if we can help.

Step 2: Meet your care co-ordinator. We’ll arrange a visit to your home to discuss your needs, preferences and goals in detail. This conversation shapes everything that follows.

Step 3: Create your care plan. Based on what we’ve learned, we design a personalised care plan that fits your life. We’ll discuss costs, timing and the carer or team who’ll support you.

Step 4: Start your care. Your named carer arrives at the agreed time, ready to support you. We stay in close touch, adjusting your plan as your needs change.

Understanding Costs

Home care costs vary depending on the type of support you need, how many hours per week, and whether you need specialist care (like dementia or palliative support). Our care co-ordinators can provide a clear, transparent quote with no hidden charges. Many families in Gloucester arrange their care through the local authority, NHS funding or private fees—we work with all three and can advise on which might suit you best.
