Types of home care we provide in Bristol
When you’re looking for the right type of home care for yourself or a loved one, we know how difficult it can be to try and decipher between the different options available. The Good Care Group is proud to offer both live-in care and hourly home care in Bristol and the surrounding area. Find out more about these two types of home care below.
Live-in care in Bristol
For those with more complex health care needs, live-in care may be a more suitable option. As the name suggests, live-in care is when a carer lives with you in your home to be on hand to provide care as and when you require. We match our live-in carers to our clients carefully to ensure the best possible care is provided. We always choose carers who have experience with specific health conditi
ons, taking into consideration their likes, interests and personality to make sure they’re the best match. We can cater to all of your individual needs, even if these are complex or you have a medical condition requiring specialist care.
By choosing live-in care from our professional carers in Bristol, you can continue living at home – surrounded by memories past and present, and where you feel most comfortable – instead of the stress and upheaval of moving into a residential care home. Whether you’re living with a complex medical condition such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or cancer, or both you and your spouse need assistance with personal care and mobility, live-in care provides you with choice and reassurance – and for couples, is a much more cost effective option for care.
Why choose home care from The Good Care Group?
We’re one of the only live-in care providers awarded with an ‘Outstanding’ rating by the CQC, and we’re incredibly proud to be keeping as many people as possible living in their own homes whilst receiving remarkable care. We believe there is nowhere better than the comfort of your own home, and that’s why we’re dedicated to providing the very best home care in Bristol.

We’re not a care agency, so we employ and train all of our carers to the standards set by the CQC.

Jessica Monaghan
Hourly Regional Manager,
I’m Jessica, Hourly Care Manager for The Good Care Group. I first joined the company in 2019 as a Live-in Care Manager, which I did for two years before leaving to start up an hourly care service for a franchise provider in North London. I rejoined The Good Care Group in 2022 as the Hourly Care Manager.
As Hourly Care Manager, my role involves working alongside our client services team, assessing new clients, creating robust care plans and risk assessments of their needs and working alongside the scheduling team to find a suitable match of carer for each client to ensure that their care is set up to achieve the best outcomes. I may also need to work alongside our Occupational Therapist or Consultant Admiral Nurse when setting up more complex care placements. My role varies day to day, and a lot of what I do involves supporting my team of carers and my clients with whatever the day brings.
My career in health and social care started in 2010. Since then, I have worked in various roles including as a carer, care scheduler, care supervisor, care manager and registered care manager.
As part of my role, I need to complete regular calls to check in and stay up to date with my care team and clients. Every three months, my care team is called for supervision and clients have visits and monitoring calls to ensure that they are happy with the care being provided to them. Clients also have six-monthly or monthly reviews of their care. If there are incidents or accidents, I provide support to them to ensure the safety of everyone involved, ensuring to review risk assessments and care plans to prevent future occurrences. I also work with the training team and support carers with their career development. My role is to ensure that the care team feels supported and clients are happy with the care and support that they are receiving.
I hold a Level 5 in Health and Social Care and have supported individuals with a wide range of needs including dementia, palliative care, Parkinson’s, cancer, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, learning disabilities, autism, mental health and neurological conditions.
Alongside my Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management, I also hold a Level 3 in Education and Training, BILD Assessors qualification and an Open University qualification in Autism Awareness. I am a first aid instructor, moving and handling instructor and medication trainer. I believe that training is a vital part of the care role and continual development ensures the individuals that we support get the quality care they need.
I have witnessed both obstacles and successes within the sector and seen first-hand what difference can be made whether big or small in someone's life. I believe that the journey I have taken from starting as a carer to becoming a manager has allowed me to understand what support needs to be provided not only to the individuals we support, but the amazing carers that are providing it. I understand the importance of ensuring the highest quality of care is delivered, and enjoy leading and encouraging my team to work towards the best possible outcomes. I am an experienced care manager and have managed both hourly and live-in care in a home care setting. I have been able to see the benefits of people receiving care in their own home and remaining at home.
I am very proud of the journey I have been on to get to where I am currently in my career. I feel proud of my development and that I have been able to witness everything I have along the way from a carer to a manager.
Our Home Care Services In Bristol
Better than a care agency in Bristol
The Good Care Group is a fully-managed home care provider that adheres to the standards set by the Care Quality Commission, and we’re inspected regularly. Unlike some other Bristol care agencies, we employ and train all of our carers ourselves, so we can continue to provide care if your regular carer is away.
Private care in Bristol
Choosing private care from The Good Care Group in Bristol means your care plan will be carefully crafted around your preferences. This includes any health or medical requirements, as well as your social and well-being needs.
Our professional and friendly carers are trained to deliver person-centred care in a discreet manner, and essentially deliver support in a way that is meaningful to you. So, whether that’s helping you to get up and dressed in the morning or assisting you to attend a weekly club with friends, we’ll be there in whatever way you need.
Specialist dementia care in Bristol
Over 900,000 people are currently living with dementia, but not one of those diagnoses present in exactly the same way for each person. Here at The Good Care Group, we understand the nuances between dementia in each individual. That’s why our care plans are completely tailored to the individual and promote and nurture independence.
Receiving dementia care from us allows you or your loved one to have a bespoke and personalised care plan which covers all your symptoms, personal preferences, and medical requirements in a familiar setting. At home is a viable, often more suitable, alternative to moving into a care home, as it allows you or your loved one to get a personalised care plan that takes into account all of your symptoms, medical requirements and personal preferences whilst reducing the stress that would come with leaving the comforts and familiarity of your own home. Whether you or a loved one have just been diagnosed with vascular dementia and are coming to terms with what this will mean for all of you, or if your loved one has advanced Alzheimer’s and needs daily assistance with personal care, our Bristol team can provide you with the reassurance that you and your loved ones need to continue living in your own home.
The Good Care Group are specialists in dementia home care, which is overseen by our resident Consultant Admiral Nurse, Jane Pritchard. As well as having Jane’s guidance and expertise, all of our carers receive specialist dementia training that takes them through the different types of dementia, how symptoms may present and ways in which to care for individuals living with the condition.
Domiciliary care in Bristol
Domiciliary care, often the traditional term used to describe care at home, is an ideal way to continue living life on your terms with additional help from a care team. Our professional domiciliary carers can help with a variety of tasks in and around your home – keeping on top of the housework, assisting you to prepare your favourite meals and helping you look after your pet companions, to helping you wash your hair, getting dressed and giving you gentle reminders to take medication.
Our compassionate and professional domiciliary carers can help you or your loved one with regular hobbies or chores. This could involve assistance with tasks like preparing meals and looking after pets, as well as personal care needs like helping you bathe.

TThe need for care can arise at any time, perhaps after a hospital admission, and you need extra support at home during your recovery. With respite care, our experienced team in Bristol can step in for a short time, so you’re not left without vital assistance.
Compassionate and fully-trained carers in Bristol
