Home care from people who’ve been there

After struggling to find great care and support for our own families, we decided to set up Gladys and do things differently. We find and introduce you to the best and brightest local Helpers and Carers around Bath, Bristol, BANES, Somerset and Wiltshire.

Why Gladys

Empowering people, Supporting in community

Our model celebrates individuality and connections between trusted local people. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect and compassion, and our unique blend of professional Carers and local Helpers ensures that. Not only are we supporting people with their day-to-day needs, but we are creating local jobs for professionals, Mums, retirees and students.

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

Our Carers and Helpers are all verified and are DBS checked by the Gladys team. We also make sure that everyone on our platform is insured. This means that when you book someone with Gladys you can be confident in their ability to help your loved one.

The best price

Cutting out agency overheads and paying Carers & Helpers more means you get the best price and the best quality of support from motivated and happy people. Our aim is to cut out the middle-man. We also pay better than most agencies, just by cutting out the bureaucracy. We believe that fair pay is the only way to ensure people are their best at work. You will see when you meet our helpers.

How it works

We've made it super simple to find and organise great care from fantastic local people.

Find Local Support

Enter a few details about the care you need

We’ll need to find out who needs support, where, the tasks you need to be done and your schedule. We’ll then use this information to help you build out a profile for yourself or your loved one, which gets seen by your helper.

Receive a curated list of Helpers and Carers

Once we’ve learned about what you need, we’ll offer you a curated list of locals who can help. You will always make the decisions around who you want to work with.

Chat directly with Helpers

We encourage you to test the relationship and see if your matches are the right fit. After all, you need to feel comfortable. You can also make sure that the helper is happy to help with all of the tasks to be done.

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. We will provide the cake for some afternoon tea.
