_Our story_


We are a family-owned domiciliary care company based in the centre of Cheltenham, covering areas in and around Cheltenham and the North Cotswolds.


At Windrush Care, we aim to make it as simple for those families and individuals that want to make their own choices for care at home and to provide the real personalised and bespoke alternative to residential care, keeping people in their own homes with our support, for as long as possible.


And this ability to provide a continued and successful service, rests upon the quality of our care staff along with the support they receive from our excellent office team - who also do care calls themselves.

We believe we should never ask our carers to do something we aren't willing to do ourselves.
