Adelfi Care Services are a family run home care provider based in Bishops Cleeve, Cheltenham and serving the nearby towns and villages, who are committed to providing high levels of person-centred care.

They understand that the decision to accept external support is often a very difficult one to come to terms with. Adelfi Care Services make this transition as seamless as possible by allowing clients to lead the process of creating a care package that is specifically tailored to their needs and wishes.

A huge emphasis is placed on presenting strong family values and this is reflected in their care delivery, with care assistants able to build strong professional relationships with those that they care for due to small, select teams of carers visiting your loved ones.

The services offered are personal care, dementia care, home help, companionship, transportation, palliative care and more. All services are delivered by a dedicated and experienced care team, with the sole intention of keeping people safe within their own home and maintaining independence.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience with Adelfi Care has been nothing but positive. The carers are kind and thoughtful, and sensitive to specific needs while retaining a bright and enthusiastic approach to every visit. The organisation appears very well managed and provides excellent ongoing communication. They are a lovely
cheerful, friendly and professional group.

Review from Kay C (Great-Niece of Client) published on 26 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We welcomed Adelfi into our lives Sept 2020. Great Aunt was 99 years of age and reluctantly heading towards 100 on Xmas eve 2021. Great Aunt fell in Jan 2020. Up until that stage, she was a positive, strong, forward-thinking person. She was used to having her own way and was determined to stay in her
home until her end of days. She became very disturbed throughout her days and nights, especially nights and in September 2020 we had to have help. I was on my knees! I searched locally for help and because of covid, there was little supply of help, especially from any of the council-referred agencies. Adelfi quickly and professionally came back to me and within a week we had a masked meeting! A plan was drawn up for 3 daily visits. Great Aunt was not always cooperative and was still giving us all a huge run-around. We worked together as a team! Through it all, Adelfi were caring, helpful and professional until the very end. I could not have managed without!

Review from Adrian A (Son of Client) published on 13 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent service, way beyond what was originally planned. Flexible with fitting in with hospital stays, varying levels of care, covering holiday periods, and occasions when we were unable to be around. Initially booked for personal care twice a week, but increased at times to daily visits, and even
3 times a day when his health varied. Impressed that they also told us in advance if they could not arrange on a couple of occasions, as this was during Covid and so their staff situation was under pressure. No false promises! Always available by phone or email to make adjustments. From what I hear from friends in similar situations, that is not always the case with other care providers. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been a client of Adelfi Care for the better part of a year now, eight months and I have never been let down by the company. The staff are genuinely caring people who are willing to go the extra mile to meet their clients' needs. Their staff are mature and diligent workers who employ great initiative,
good communication, and intrinsic empathy to deduce and truly understand their clients' needs, and so provide exactly what help is required. They have a highly experienced management team that looks after their staff well to make sure they are safe and respected so they can in turn keep their clients safe and dignified. I have been very happy with the service and look forward to seeing them grow, for the benefit of others out there like me, in need of what Adelfi does best - high-quality care with a personal focus.

Review from J K (Daughter of Client) published on 2 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
They are continuously consistent in their high level of care and compassion. My mother is treated with respect and all of her needs are covered, they do all of this and give her friendship, having a chat and a laugh which helps to fill her day, as she is totally dependent on them to enable her to stay
in her own home which she desperately wants to do which means she has to have four calls a day. It’s great peace of mind to me that she has this amazing care as I live 200 miles away and am unable to contribute physically in her care. They also have an extremely useful app that fully explains everything that takes place on each call so I know on a daily basis how my mother is, any concerns are forwarded to her Doctor as they have permission to do this and I am informed as soon as possible thus saving precious time trying to contact me immediately. They are an amazing company with professional, friendly, caring staff who do everything possible to compensate for my absence.

I highly recommend Adelfi. The managers and others from their team have been visiting my mum in her self assisted care flat to provide care and support to her following a fall she had recently. My mum really liked all of the team and valued the help they provided. They are totally professional, reliable,
hugely caring, and all genuinely nice people.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Adelfi Care Services Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (84 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Adelfi Care Services Ltd is based on 14 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Lucy Didcote

Job Title: Director / Registered Manager Joined: 2020

Lucy’s goal has always been to work for a company centred around her core values, that the client’s needs should be at the forefront of everything. This strong ethos has followed her throughout her career and coupled with her knowledge and passion for the industry and people in her care, she felt it was time to open her own business.


Adelfi Care Services is built on those very values that she has carried with her for over 10 years and the business truly puts the needs of its clients first. On top of this, Lucy was adamant that it had to be a great company to work for too so true to those values, our staff are paid above industry standard rates, have access to further academic qualifications and have opportunities to progress.


Starting a business is challenging, and starting a care business is even harder. Building a strong team is paramount and Lucy has done that and expects her exacting standards for care delivery to be maintained every day.
