Care for older people and specialist adult support · Bristol & South Gloucestershire

More support.
More independence.
Still home.

Whether it’s your mum, your dad, or an adult son or daughter who needs more support than most services are built for — we start with the person, not the task list. The same small team, week after week, since 2004.

Care is agreed following assessment of needs, suitability and staffing.

How can we help?

Visiting support starts at two hours. Two of these services are available now; two are being prepared and are clearly marked.

Two-week rotational live-in care is not currently offered. Our established waking-night and sleep-in arrangements are available now and are a different thing.

The people behind the care

Know who you're speaking to.

Care Horizons is led locally. Our Service Manager and Deputy Manager handle enquiries, with senior oversight of care and suitability decisions.

Care planning starts with the person and what matters to them, whether it is confidence outside the home, a familiar daily routine, or reliable help at home.

Meet the team

Familiar relationships. Personal attention.

For regular visiting care, the same two or three familiar workers cover each home week after week, with arrangements for leave and sickness.

We also explain cover and changes so you know what to expect.

Care that makes space for the person

Sometimes the biggest difference is having enough time.

If putting on socks takes twenty minutes, but Dad can still do it himself, that independence deserves encouragement—not a rush to finish.

Our minimum two-hour visiting sessions create more space for routines, conversation, everyday skills and support at the person's own pace.

Areas we cover

Are we able to help where you are?

We would rather tell you plainly than take an enquiry we cannot staff.
