Home Care in Colinton and Bonaly

Our home care in the Colinton and Bonaly areas of Edinburgh brings a fresh approach to supporting independence, understanding that most clients wish to remain in their own homes. As Care Inspectorate ‘Excellent’ rated providers serving the surrounding area, our Care Professionals spend meaningful time with each client to build genuine relationships. We love arranging outings to local gems like The Swing Café or peaceful walks to visit the Colinton Tunnel – Scotland’s Largest Historical Mural, making each day special. It’s our privilege to support clients in living confidently at home, which is why we focus on creating natural, friendly connections.

Our Care Professionals don’t wear uniforms for a more relaxed, friendly approach. Our visits are always a minimum of one hour, giving our Care Professionals the time to focus on each client’s needs. Our team understands that meaningful care shouldn’t feel rushed, which is why we ensure there’s always time for a proper chat alongside supporting daily activities. Our longer visits enable us to learn about our client’s individual preferences and routines, helping us build genuine, lasting relationships that enhance their quality of life. This dedicated approach means we can provide attentive, thorough care while offering the companionship that makes such a difference to our clients’ wellbeing.

Our local team in Colinton and Bonaly combines decades of care experience, with Leadership Team members Allana, Beth, Cara, Kathryn, and Kirsty sharing over 40 years with Home Instead. We’ve supported each member’s professional growth through Health and Social Care and Leadership and Management qualifications, ensuring they can guide and mentor our Care Professionals. Based in Edinburgh, we’re always available to answer questions and provide the support our care team needs for exceptional home care. Our hands-on approach ensures we know our clients and community, helping us match the right Care Professionals to each client while maintaining the highest care standards for families across Edinburgh West.

We are active members of the Colinton and Bonaly community, supporting local older adults through a range of meaningful activities. Our annual ‘Be a Santa’ to a Senior programme brings festive joy to isolated older people, while our regular Care Conversations workshops help local families understand vital topics like dementia care and power of attorney. Throughout the year, we bring people together through events at our office, including Macmillan Coffee Mornings, and our team recently completed the One Million Steps challenge for Diabetes UK, raising funds and awareness for this important cause.
