We know that choosing a care home in Gloucestershire for someone close to you can feel like a big step. Families want to feel confident that their loved one will be safe, comfortable, and treated with kindness.

Luxury care homes in Gloucestershire
We have two luxury care homes serving Gloucestershire, each with its own character and atmosphere.
A luxury care home in Gloucestershire should feel comfortable, homely, and reassuring, rather than formal or clinical. Our homes are designed to offer a high standard of living while keeping care personal and unhurried.
Residents are supported with everyday routines, meals, activities, and any changing care needs, all in calm and welcoming surroundings.
Hill Ash House is a luxury care home on the Gloucestershire and Herefordshire border, close to Ledbury. The home provides residential care for people living with dementia, as well as respite care, palliative support, and care for couples where suitable.
For families looking for a Gloucestershire residential care home with specialist dementia support, Hill Ash House offers a comfortable and supportive place to live. Care is delivered with patience, consistency, and understanding, helping residents feel safe and reassured throughout the day and night.
Types of care
Residential care
Residential care is for older people who would benefit from day-to-day help in a safe, comfortable place to live.
This might include support with washing, dressing, medication, meals, mobility and general routines. It also brings companionship, regular meals and the comfort of knowing someone is always nearby.
For families looking for elderly care in Gloucestershire, our homes offer a settled and sociable environment where residents can feel looked after without losing their sense of independence.
Dementia care
Both homes welcome people living with dementia, memory loss and confusion.
Our approach is patient, consistent and personal. Carers take time to understand each resident’s routines, preferences and life history, helping daily life feel more familiar and less overwhelming.
For families searching for a dementia care home in Gloucester or the wider area, we provide calm surroundings, experienced carers and thoughtful memory care.
Respite care
Respite care offers a short-term stay when extra help is needed.
It can be useful after an illness, operation or hospital stay, or when family carers need time to rest. It can also give families a gentle way to see whether a care home feels right before making a longer-term decision.
During a respite stay, residents are welcomed into daily life at the home, with meals, activities, companionship and personal care included.
Couples care
When care needs change, it doesn’t have to mean living apart. We support couples to continue sharing their lives together while receiving personalised care tailored to each person’s individual needs.
Families across Gloucestershire trust us to provide high-quality couples care that keeps loved ones together while ensuring each partner receives the support they need. If you’re looking for compassionate residential couples care in Gloucestershire, we are here to guide you through every step of the way.
