Twenty years of caring, one family at a time.

In early 2002, when the local Age Concern branch in Gloucestershire faced unexpected funding cuts to its community support service, Amanda Gaunt saw firsthand the heartbreak it caused. Overnight, dozens of older residents across Cheltenham and Bishops Cleeve were left without the compassionate presence they relied on to remain safely in their homes.

Unable to sit idly by, Amanda gathered a small, dedicated circle of experienced care professionals. What began as an intimate two-month volunteer pilot with a single client quickly confirmed a profound local need: families didn't just want clinical tasks completed – they craved genuine warmth, shared laughter, and dependable continuity from someone who felt like family.

Over the last two decades, corporate healthcare franchises and private equity conglomerates swept through the care sector, standardising visits into robotic 15-minute intervals and treating clients like billable account numbers. Alpha Care Services deliberately said no.
