Trusted care and staffing across Gloucester

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers right across Gloucester and the wider Gloucestershire area. For families we arrange home care that helps a loved one stay safe and independent at home, from a short daily visit through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

Local knowledge across Gloucester

Gloucester is a historic cathedral city on the River Severn, with a population of well over a hundred thousand spread across distinctive neighbourhoods such as Kingsholm, Longlevens, Barnwood, Hucclecote, Tuffley, Quedgeley, Abbeymead and the streets around Barton and Tredworth. Care needs vary just as much across the city, from the older terraces near the city centre and Gloucester Docks to the newer estates at Kingsway and Quedgeley to the south, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

The city centre sits within the GL1 postcode, with GL2 covering Quedgeley and Kingsway, GL3 reaching out towards Hucclecote and Innsworth, and GL4 taking in Abbeymead, Matson and Barnwood. Whether a loved one lives in the shadow of Gloucester Cathedral or out towards the ring road, our care coordinators arrange support that fits the local geography and the practicalities of getting there.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on Great Western Road, which is run by Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and works alongside Cheltenham General Hospital across the county. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

Adult social care in the city is overseen by Gloucestershire County Council, while Gloucester City Council looks after local district services such as housing and council tax. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the county council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
