Another service to help the elderly and vulnerable in our communities.

Community Response Gloucestershire

17/10/2026

New service covering Gloucestershire.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14ssUvwwZyW/

We want to give the best service, and our service is just getting going where others stop.

Our end-to-end service is far more than just a voice over the intercom. We monitor activations that occur, which is the end point for most services. They will note the activation and either call a friend, family member, or neighbour to go and check-in and see what is needed. We provide the response team too, as well as interactions with other services that could benefit the service user. We only call for ambulance assistance where appropriate. Our response teams are all active or ex ambulance staff with many years of responding to such calls from a 999 response.

Our whole aim is to encourage more independence at home, to give people the confidence to move around and know that if they do happen to fall, or need assistance with anything welfare related, that we will be there with them.

We don't just cover indoors either. Our service includes domestic garden areas too. We know that ambulance responses can be lengthy, and we also know how quickly the weather and ground conditions can affect the fallen person.

Welfare Responders
Wandering Repsonders

We go far beyond being just a distant voice from the ither end of the phone.

Opening night at Salvation Z tonight. If you've not got your tickets yet, get booking.

A resounding first night with a lot of laughter, tears, and release of body fluids.

We are on site each night to ensure any issues are dealt with promptly.

This week has seen our transfer crews on the road, we have had staff in Bristol each night providing medical support for our longstanding clients on the Triangle. We have a motocross practice event tomorrow, along with Salvation again tomorrow night, and Cross Country running event on Sunday. A fairly steady weekend for our event team

If anyone in the Gloucester area knows this upstanding citizen, please feel free to call 101 and let them know a name and location, quote reference 569 of 14/10/26.

Just before midnight last night a member of our team caught him letting himself into an ambulance that was parked up awaiting repair at a local workshop. He made off and was last seen entering a flat on Diamond Jubilee Close.

He was rummaging around the cupboards and cabinets in the vehicle when he was disturbed by the staff member.

This is the 2nd incident involving break-ins of our vehicles. The first resulted in a broken window and internal damage caused.

Over the weekend we were at the revamped Marshfield track with Thornbury MX Practice Tracks and Corsham Ssc. The 2026 race season is now officially finished.

What a year it has been with the club races, practice days, and Nora92 British Cup. The thousands of miles travelling to/from tracks, the 10s of thousands of steps whilst on site, the hundreds of casualties we have assessed, treated, and stabilised.

We are already looking forward to see what 2027 will bring.

But our work doesn't stop, as we still have practice days, our winter events are kicking in now. And we are looking at some CPD days to ensure that the team keep current with their skills.

Fall and welfare response service across the Gloucestershire area

05/10/2026

A very familiar incident when an elderly relative falls whilst at home alone. They can't get to the phone to raise the alarm.

This particular lady is a service user of the Community Response service. Her wearable fall alert device automatically activates a call to the dedicated call centre. They make contact and dispatch a response team to attend and assess the lady. They find she is not injured and safely move the lady to her chair. This can be done is as little as 30 mins from the initial fall occurring in some instances.

No potentially lengthy wait for an emergency ambulance to become available due to a high volume of life threatening calls. And no need for a trip to hospital due to a "Long Lay" whilst awaiting help to arrive.

That's what Community Response has been set up to do:

⬇️Reduce distress and discomfort
⬇️Reduce ambulance attendances
⬇️Reduce hospital visits

⬆️Increase independence
⬆️Increase the welfare of service users

04/10/2026

We all know the pressures that are on the NHS, and local ambulance, trusts up and down the country.

We hear the horror stories of the lengthy waits for an ambulance crew to come and lift the elderly lady up from the floor, after being there all night.

Or the dementia patient who has decided to wander off, and the only current option is a call to the police and report them as a missing person.

With winter pressures upon us, and with an aging population who don't want to be a burden on family members, or family members that have to relocate for work.

There is a financially friendly alternative to care settings and nursing homes. Allowing more elderly people to remain at home, keeping their independence, their homes, and their comfort.
