Find home care
with Gladys
Gladys is a home care agency that connects you directly with experienced & vetted, Carers and Helpers to offer support at home. We're proud to serve families across the country and have the highest ratings across the board. Our goal is to help people maintain their independence and comfort in their home for as long as possible.
Home care from people who’ve been there
At Gladys, we understand that finding the right care for a loved one is a significant hurdle. Our story began after we struggled to find great care for our own families, so we decided to do things differently. We're a compassionate alternative to traditional agencies that's built for what families want and actually need - continuity. The same person, at the same time every week, who builds up a bond and provides the care, not a revolving door of different faces who nobody knows.
We achieve this by connecting you directly with the best local carers across BANES, Bristol, Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset and South Gloucestershire. Our carers aren't just professionals; they're your neighbours, dedicated to helping your relatives maintain their independence and comfort in their own home.
Whether you're looking for help with the day to day, a friendly face to keep someone company, helping with washing and bothating or more extensive support like live-in care, we're here to help.


















Why families choose Gladys for home care
Supporting people to live well at home
We built a home care agency that focuses on building connections between trusted local people. We believe everyone benefits from one-to-one care, where the same person visits every time, not a revolving door of faces like at a traditional agency. These relationships are what underpins someone's ability to live well at home for as long as possible.
Personalised care, unmatched support
Our carers bring clinical expertise, while our local Helpers offer home and community assistance with tasks ranging from shopping to garden centre visit. This creates a practical and life-enhancing experience that improves the well-being of your loved ones.
Verified and insured - the 'mum test'
Our Carers and Helpers are all verified and are DBS checked by the Gladys team. We check references, interview everyone personally and make sure they're insured. Everyone who works through Gladys has to pass the 'mum test' this means that we would be happy for the person to look after our own mum. That means when you book someone with Gladys you can be confident in their ability to help your loved one.
The best price & fair pay for Carers
Cutting out agency overheads and paying Carers & Helpers 65% more than other agencies means you get the best price and the best quality of support from motivated and happy people. We believe that fair pay is the only way to ensure people are their best at work and what can stop the social care sector from collapse.
