Why Families Choose Gladys
Families come to us for continuity: one carer who gets to know your loved one, backed by a team that picks up the phone.
Local Carers Across the South
We work across Bath, Bristol, Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset, South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, with live-in care available across England. See where we cover. Your carer lives locally, so they know the area and turn up reliably.
Supporting independence
Support that helps your loved one stay active, connected and in charge of their own day at home.
Flexible support
From a weekly visit to daily help or live-in care, support that fits around your loved one's routine rather than a fixed rota.
Matched on personality, not a rota
We match on interests and temperament as well as tasks, so the fit works for your loved one as a person.
Vetted and insured
Every carer is DBS checked, reference checked, interviewed personally and insured. They also have to pass our 'mum test': we would be happy for them to look after our own mums.
How Gladys Is Different From a Traditional Agency
At Gladys, we do things differently. We are not a traditional domiciliary care agency. We match your family with one professional carer and build everything around that relationship. You can read more about how our model works. The carers we introduce are self-employed professionals, so you agree the care directly with them while we handle the matching, the vetting and the support around it.
Because we do not carry the overheads of a traditional agency, carers are paid fairly and families get better value. It also gives families more flexibility, control, and choice.
For carers, it means more autonomy and fairer pay.
For families, it means quicker access to care, better value, and support shaped around what your loved one actually needs, all backed by the Gladys team.
