About Silva Care
At Silva Care, we provide home care across Bristol and South Gloucestershire, supporting people to live well in the place that matters most to them: their own home. We are proud to have been rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, a reflection of the commitment and thoughtfulness that runs through everything we do. We work with a wide range of people, including those living with learning disabilities or autism, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. Every person we support has a unique set of needs, preferences and goals, and we take the time to understand what a good life looks like for each individual. Our care is built around the person, not around a schedule. We know that inviting someone into your home, or the home of a loved one, requires real trust. We take that seriously. Our team is carefully chosen not just for their skills but for their warmth, reliability and genuine interest in the people they support. We invest in training and ongoing development so that the care we provide is informed, consistent and responsive to changing needs. Whether someone needs a little help each day or more involved support throughout the week, we work closely with individuals and their families to get the balance right. We are open and communicative, and we encourage the people we support to have a real say in how their care is arranged and delivered. Being based locally in Bristol and South Gloucestershire means we understand the communities we work within. We are not a distant organisation. We are neighbours, and we approach our work with the kind of straightforward honesty and care you would want from someone looking after the people you love. If you would like to find out more about how we can help, we would be very glad to hear from you.

More about the care at Silva Care
Home Care at Silva Care
Regulated home care in Bristol and South Gloucestershire covers arranged visits from a Care Quality Commission registered agency, offering personal care, help with medication, meal preparation and support to stay engaged at home. Silva Care is registered to deliver this service and was rated Outstanding by the CQC following its inspection in October 2018. Indicative private rates across the South West sit between around £28 and £33 an hour, while South Gloucestershire Council commissions care at its own agreed rate for eligible residents. Families weighing up support should ask about visit lengths, continuity of workers, out of hours contact and how care plans are reviewed when needs change. It is also worth checking how the agency handles medication records, safeguarding concerns and communication with GPs or district nurses.
Visual and Hearing Impairment at Silva Care
Living well with sight or hearing loss often depends on small practical habits: good lighting, clear signage, hearing aid checks, facing the person when speaking and confirming what has been understood. Silva Care is registered to support adults with visual or hearing impairment, though the public record does not describe specific methods. Ask how workers are briefed on individual communication needs, whether British Sign Language or lip reading is accommodated, and how written information is shared.
Learning Disability and Autism at Silva Care
Support for people with a learning disability or autism works best when it is genuinely person centred, built around familiar routines, communication preferences and sensory sensitivities. Silva Care is registered with the CQC for this service across Bristol and South Gloucestershire, though public information does not describe specific approaches used. Commissioning usually runs through the council or continuing healthcare, with regular reviews of outcomes. Ask how independence goals, choice and any positive behaviour support are recorded and reviewed.
Physical Disability at Silva Care
Physical disability support at home often involves help with transfers, personal care, mobility and everyday tasks, alongside encouragement to keep doing what someone can manage themselves. Silva Care in Bristol is registered for this care type, but public records do not detail how visits are structured. Families should ask about moving and handling assessments, use of hoists or other equipment already in the home, and joint working with occupational therapy. It is also worth checking how care plans adapt as strength or fatigue changes.
