Your guide to the best care homes around Gloucester.
Gloucester combines historic charm with excellent access to healthcare and a brilliant network of care homes. Whether you or your loved one requires full-time residential care, temporary respite care, specialist nursing care for complex needs, or a different care type such as palliative or convalescent care, we’ve curated the area’s very best options above, all fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and vetted by our in-house team of Care Experts.
The average weekly cost of care in Gloucester is around £1,400 to £1,500. However, this will vary, depending on the type of care needed and any specific facilities you’d like your new home to have. Options vary from smaller homes with a close-knit feel to larger, purpose-built settings like Park View and Chapel House with luxury facilities such as spa-style bathrooms, cinema rooms, activity lounges, and even gyms in some cases.
Fulfilling daily lifestyles are incredibly important in these homes. Residents might spend their mornings at a knitting group or film club, enjoy lunch in a communal dining room, then join a music session or themed afternoon tea. Some homes offer secure outdoor areas and garden paths, which are especially beneficial for residents living with memory loss or mobility concerns.
Gloucester’s layout makes it easy for families to visit - Gloucester Park and Robinswood Hill Country Park are popular spots for walks and outings, and many homes plan regular visits to these and other local areas. The city is served by Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and a network of community healthcare services, which work closely with local care providers to support ongoing medical needs.
We understand that finding care is never just a practical decision - it’s a deeply personal one. That’s why we’ve made the care-seeking process as simple as possible.
Chapel House - In the heart of Gloucester, Chapel House provides respectful residential care and 24/7 nursing care.

Brunswick House - This care home offers several types of care. The main ones are residential, nursing and dementia care on a permanent or short-term basis, while convalescent care is also available if you’re still recovering from an illness, injury or operation.
