How do I apply for home care in South Gloucestershire?

Brunelcare’s Bristol and South Gloucestershire Community Services team provides care and support services  designed to support individuals within their own home.

What we offer

These are services we currently provide within South Gloucestershire:

• Person-centred approach to care, respecting the individual and their life
• Our carers are well trained and supported, providing the highest quality care
• Supporting you with personal care, such as washing and bathing
• Helping with preparing your meals and your medication
• Respite sitting service allowing your regular carer a break
• Sometimes you may just need our help for a few weeks, for example helping you get back on your feet at home after a hospital stay.

How does payment for the service work?

These services can be funded privately, via your personal budget, or through South Gloucestershire Council.
