Horton House is a lovely Victorian building close to the centre of Gloucester; it is situated in a residential area close to the city centre, amidst local amenities such as shops, main bus routes, public houses, and health services. It is nearby to Gloucester rail service and within reach of many places of worship.
The Home is surrounded by secluded gardens, including patio areas. On the ground floor, there is a main lounge, dining room and conservatory, all centrally heated.
We provide residential and dementia care – this can either be as respite or on a permanent basis.
Horton House can accommodate twenty-four people. All rooms are single, and some have ensuite facilities; those that do not have ensuite facilities are fitted with wash basins. There are four shower rooms, with two located on the ground floor and two on the first floor. Access to the first floor is via stairs, although we do have a stair lift if required.
All bedrooms are light and airy, and differ in size. You are encouraged to bring your own furniture and belongings to help make you feel at home.
