How we’re helping

Very helpful, understanding and professional

Fiona B, Nailsea
Client

"After battling with multiple care agencies to care for my elderly granddad, Gladys was an absolute saviour. The team there made it so easy for me to manage and sort care for my granddad, and they are all genuinely invested in delivering great care. Now my grandmother is at the stages of also needing help at home, I will definitely be reaching out again."

"Our Mom was becoming a little forgetful, but knew she did not want to have to leave her little flat! My siblings & I live out of the country & were becoming more & more concerned about her. Contacting Gladys has been a game changer! Organized & efficient... our Mom is less anxious & feels cared for 😃 thank you Gladys🧡"

Helen W, Keynsham
Client

"I have been working with Gladys for over 6 months now and I can easily say it’s the best job ever! I have met so many lovely people in Bath that have taught me so much! I have learnt about the best places to go for walks or to go for coffee and even just names of different plants! It's given me so much insight into Bath and, being a student, has allowed me to already feel like a proper local in Bath and made me feel at home!!"

Emily M, Bath
Client

"Great Team! I was struggling with my mums outings, handling her wheelchair in and out of my car! I called Gladys and was matched with Rachel. A brilliant Carer who my mum loves. It has enriched our outings! So pleased and happy with the service and no complaints with the admin team either. Well done all."

Kate R, Aldbourne

Patricia H, Portishead

"Very happy with Glady's care who are helping in supporting my mum. Sharin in the office has been great coordinating things and the carer Angie has been really helpful. They even managed a lovely trip to the seaside together, which lifted mum's spirits enormously. It is very reassuring to know mums care is in such good hands."

Alex R, Frome
Client

"My mum started receiving care from Sacha at Gladys earlier this year. Sacha does not only support my mum with day to day tasks, but also takes her to appointments when necessary. My mum has formed a lovely friendship with Sacha and feels extremely comfortable with her, looking forward to her visits. As a family, we are very pleased with the service from the team at Gladys and cannot recommend them highly enough."

Marcia L, Wick
Client

"Gladys Care was so helpful- right from the start, answering all my questions regarding the care my Mum might receive at home. I cannot recommend them enough. They were friendly, kind and reassuring at a difficult time. Thank you again/ highly recommended"

Keith, Frome
Client

"I care for my husband who has Parkinson's Disease 24/7 and knew I needed someone to check on him and keep him company so I could have time out. He was very reluctant to accept this but we reached a compromise. Simone has now been keeping him company for 3 hours in the middle of the day once a week and he is very happy with her company, friendship and help. ...and I can have a completely relaxed day out with family or friends without worrying if he is OK. It's excellent. 😊 So thank you Simone and also Katie, the coordinator who matched them."

Ann S, Keynsham
Client

"I found the staff at Gladys to be extremely helpful and supportive. They found me a lovely client and gave me lots of positive and practical guidance starting out . They were always available to talk when I had queries and were very prompt with email responses. I would highly recommend using Gladys services, both looking for care or offering it."

Melita, Bathampton
Client

"I came across Gladys a couple of years ago, was very impressed with their ethos and held onto their details just in case I needed some input for my elderly Aunt. Earlier this year my aunt had a long stay in hospital following a fall, thinking that she would return home and need carers, and wanting to be prepared, I contacted Gladys explaining the situation. Katie was so professional and caring, gave me numerous options and advice, keeping me updated and also enquiring as to how I was doing. Sadly my aunt passed away but I would not hesitate in recommending Gladys."

Alison W, Saltford
Client

"From start to finish the service provided by Gladys was superb. We had to arrange something in quite difficult circumstance and at short notice and the team at Gladys were empathetic and very professional in their approach, coming up with the ideal person and solution when it came to getting a few days pop in care for Janice our mum. Alina was superb from start to end and did a splendid job at short notice, as was Sharin on the front line who organised it all. Can't speak highly enough of the whole arrangement...good work!"

Sarah F, Bath
Client

Sharin was so helpful in setting up care arrangements for us. She took the trouble to get back to us in response to our email inquiry, described her services and followed up on all that she promised. Recommended!

Martin P, Clifton
Client

"The staff in the office were so kind and helpful when I contacted them looking for someone to give my mum a bit of support. They really took their time to find out about her needs and what might work for us. Great!"

Jessica T, Frome
Client

"We used Gladys earlier this year when my Dad who suffered from heart failure and Alzheimer's went rapidly downhill after a hospital stay. As soon as we spoke to Gladys there was a huge sense of relief that they were able to help find us carers to support Dad and at very short notice. The carers were really lovely and able to match their services to what Dad needed, as it changed on a daily basis. They were very flexible and covered each other during any time off. We felt very grateful for Gladys for taking such a huge stress away from us and being a massive support at such a difficult time."
