Gloucestershire Royal and Cheltenham General Hospitals

17/10/2025

. Unfamiliar surroundings and a very busy environment mean that acute hospitals like Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital aren't always the best place for recovery and rehabilitation.

🛏️ And we know there’s no bed like your own bed when it comes to getting a good night’s rest to recover from illness.

There are several things you can do to help someone who is coming home from hospital, including getting their bedroom set up, stocking up their fridge and making sure they have everything they need.
