About BLACK & WHITE GROUP
We are the Black and White Group, based in Gloucester, and we provide care in people's own homes across Gloucestershire. We support older people and younger adults. Our aim is straightforward: enough of the right help, at the right times, for somebody to carry on living where they want to be. Home holds a great deal that is easy to undervalue until it is at risk. Your own routine, your own kitchen, the neighbours who notice when the curtains stay shut, the right to decide the shape of your own day. Home care also depends more on reliability than on anything else, so that is where our effort goes first. Turning up when we said we would. Sending somebody the person already knows. Telling a family straight away if a visit has to change. None of that is glamorous, but it is what people notice. Every arrangement begins with a conversation in the person's own home. How does the day run now? What has become difficult? What do you still want to manage yourself, and where would a hand genuinely help? From those answers we agree the visits, which might be a single short call, several a day, or a longer stretch so that a relative caring full time can get out properly. Support might mean help with washing and dressing, a prompt and a check with medication, a meal cooked and eaten with company, help getting safely about, or assistance with shopping and appointments. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Ring us and ask us anything you like.
