About The Coombs
Residential, nursing and dementia care are available at The Coombs for older people, younger adults and people living with dementia. The home also supports end-of-life and palliative care, giving families a setting where changing care needs can be managed over time.
Daily life combines care with home-cooked food, activities and practical support such as laundry. Residents can take part in organised activities or enjoy quieter routines, while the care team supports personal wellbeing within a residential home setting. The Coombs is therefore suited to families seeking a home that brings together nursing support, dementia care and palliative provision, with everyday meals and activities included alongside personal care.

Does The Coombs provide nursing care?

How much does The Coombs cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Coombs for its weekly fee. As a guide, Gloucestershire council paid on average £1,384 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
