Ellia - Live Well at Home
Reliable home help and social support for adults in GloucestershireWhat does it do?
Ellia provides non-clinical, in-home help and companionship services for adults who want to remain independent, comfortable and connected in their own homes. We support individuals with everyday tasks such as housework, meal preparation, errands, and technology help, as well as regular companionship and social outings.
Our team members offer consistent, practical support that fits into each person’s routine and preferences. Whether it’s helping with the weekly shop, tidying the home, providing company for a walk or outing, or simply offering regular conversation and connection, Ellia is there to ease daily life in a respectful, human way.
We fill the gap between cleaning services and regulated care. Our services are ideal for people who don’t need personal care but do benefit from dependable help and social contact at home. Our aim is to improve wellbeing, reduce isolation, and give both individuals and families peace of mind.
Who it is for?
Ellia is for adults in Gloucestershire who want to stay independent at home but need some extra help to manage day-to-day life. Our service is ideal for older people who don’t require personal care but would benefit from regular support, companionship or help with practical tasks.

-
Older adults living alone or with limited mobility

Individuals recently discharged from hospital who need short-term support
