Find home care
with Gladys
Gladys is an introductory agency that connects you directly with vetted, self-employed carers who are ready to offer support at home. We're proud to serve families in Bristol, Bath, Wiltshire, and Dorset, and our goal is to help your loved one maintain their independence and comfort in the home they cherish.
Home care from people who’ve been there
At Gladys, we understand that finding the right care for a loved one is a significant step. 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 right here in the South West.
We connect you directly with the best local helpers and self-employed carers in Bristol, Bath, Somerset, Wiltshire & Dorset. Our carers aren't just professionals; they're your neighbours, dedicated to helping your loved ones maintain their independence and comfort in the home they cherish.
Whether you're looking for help with daily routines, a friendly face for companionship, or more extensive support like live-in care, we put you in control of the process. We're here to make caring for elderly parents or other loved ones as straightforward as possible.
