Meet The Manager
Tracy Gardner is the Manager at Chapel House Care Centre.
My background is as a Registered Nurse qualifying in 1985 in Cheltenham Gloucestershire.
I now have over 20 years’ experience as a Nursing Home Manager.
I have worked as a Home Manager for Coate Water Care since January 2018. My previous experience was working for BUPA for 25 years.
I am passionate about the service we deliver & ensuring our residents have a good quality of life & the best possible care.
I am proud of our staff Team that is Chapel House & am continually amazed at their kind, caring & endless support for our residents.
Welcome to Chapel House Care Centre, Gloucester. Coate Water Care have created a ‘home sweet home’ environment in a five star setting at Chapel House and our dedicated team of carers, nurses and support staff are the guardians of a highly professional and personalised care service.
Chapel House is a lovely old converted Chapel (hence the name) dating back to 1849 when it was constructed for the Asylum that was later know as Horton Road Hospital.
Converted into a Care Home in 2013. We have 41 beds located over 3 floors. All the rooms are easily accessible, are a good size and have en-suite wet rooms. We can accommodate and meet the various care needs of residents for residential, nursing and also dementia including short stay/ respite options. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide excellent care and especially end of life care.
Coate Water Care operate electronic care planning and medication administration systems. This gives relatives peace of mind that everything is being managed as it should be and that care planning and care delivery achieve the highest possible standards.

Coate Water Care have created a ‘home sweet home’ environment in a five star setting at Chapel House, with a new purpose-built wing added to existing Grade 11 listed Chapel, which has also been completely refurbished to extremely high standards. Although Chapel House is situated close to the Gloucester City Centre we have a large easily accessed garden & open space. We have a number of communal areas which allow for residents to be with their relatives for a social chat or a coffee. We have a patio with comfortable chairs and tables to allow you to sit and enjoy the garden. We have a hair dressing salon where we can provide regular appointments from a visiting hairdresser. The home has its own dedicated GP who carries out regular rounds either directly or virtually thus supporting the residents at the home to have continuity of care and support when needed. We are also able to access members of the multidisciplinary team Through GP referrals such as physiotherapy, speech & language & dietetic support. We can also access the support of the mental health team & infection control. We have a non-denominatory clergy who visits the home and has been operating a telephone consult to those who need support at present during the pandemic crisis. We have close links with local schools, churches & support groups who visit the Home at regular intervals. |

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|
|
A physically active lifestyle can significantly improve people’s quality of life at all stages of dementia. Chapel House’s two Activities Organisers work hard to incorporate people’s hobbies and interests into their daily routine. Some residents enjoy sitting peacefully with their favourite carer, others prefer to be more active. And there’s plenty of choice: live music sessions, hair & beauty treatment, cake decorating, sensory gardening, visits to local parks, Christmas parties, theatre trips, and bespoke exercise sessions. Our experienced activity coordinators have completed individualised PALS assessments for each of our residents that includes a detailed life history ensuring that all staff have information about the residents, their wishes & choices. There are interactive games, quizzes, music & many ideals & activities for reminiscence. We have regular entertainers to suite all along with themed events throughout the year. |
