Four steps to finding a long-lasting care match
We've made it super simple to find and organise great care from fantastic local people.
Enter a few details about the care you need
We’ll need to find out who we’re looking after, where, the tasks you need to be done and your schedule. We’ll then use this information to help you build out a care profile for your loved one, which gets seen by your care team.
Browse a curated list of local professionals and helpers
Once we’ve learned about your needs, we’ll match you to a curated set of local professionals and provide the introductions.
Chat directly with your matches
You can then chat directly with your matches and decide if the fit is right.
Book and pay in one simple place
When you’re happy, you can book your free visit and organise a rolling schedule if it suits you.
Created by people who have been there
After struggling to find quality and consistent care for our grandmothers, we solved the problem ourselves. That’s where Gladys was born. We know that great care and help has four main factors.
Championing Local Carers
The people who visit are locals. This means they have commonality and know all the best spots for things like lunch or where the local GP is.
Create your own care circle
By organising with people directly, you can set out a schedule that works for everyone. This means there are fewer dropouts and more continuity from people who can flex around their own family commitments.
The best price
By cutting out the middleman agencies, we could get the best prices and pay the carers more. This means that unlike most of the care sector, pay is actually attractive.
You decide what happens
If you simplify the process of finding the right people and let families decide what happens, you end up getting exactly what your loved one needs, not compromising to fit around red tape and bureaucracy.
What do families using Gladys think?
We've got a few good reviews up our sleeves, here're some of the most recent.
"Gladys' carers have been an absolute lifeline for us. They're so compassionate; it's like having an extra family member. My mum looks forward to their visits every day. Couldn't be happier!"
Irene C.
Honestly, the helpers from Gladys are a godsend. They don't just 'do their job'; they invest emotionally in their clients. My father couldn't be in better hands.!
Anya R.
"The helpers at Gladys have been more than just caregivers; they've become part of our family circle. You can really tell they love what they do, and it shines through in their service."
Rick A.
"We're deeply grateful for Gladys. Their helpers are punctual, skilled, and incredibly empathetic. They've made a world of difference in my husband's day-to-day comfort."
Rob M.
"Gladys offers something truly special. It's not just the excellent care they provide, but the warmth and sincerity their carers bring into our home. Highly commendable."
Christ T.
"Switching to Gladys was a no-brainer for us. Their carers are professional, yet personal. My grandmother feels more like a friend is visiting her rather than a healthcare provider."
Amanah O.
"My dad's carer from Gladys has brought happiness back into his life. They share stories, play games, and it's heart-warming to see the bond they've formed. Gladys has been a blessing."
