We have nothing but positive feedback for you.

Carer is absolutely fantastic and my Dad always looks forward to her visits. The positive effect her visits have on my Dad’s mental well-being is immeasurable. She always goes above and beyond, and nothing is too much trouble for her. We (and you as a company) are so lucky to have her!

The caregiving service has been truly amazing. The Caregivers provide Mum with companionship, they help with her evening meals and medication, they walk her dog and help to keep the house clean and tidy. There have been times they have gone above and beyond – driving Mum and her cat to the vet, keeping Mum safe and finding a solution when Mum locked herself out her house, and embroidering the most beautiful flower patch to cover the hole of Mum’s favourite cardigan!

Tailored Day Care in Edinburgh

A client shared, “The Care Professional has helped me stay at home and active, even supporting me with my recovery exercises after surgery. It’s like having a friend who genuinely cares.” For another client, day care included regular visits to the Craigmillar Library to seek out their favourite books and enjoy the welcoming community space. At Home Instead Edinburgh East, it’s our special blend of care and companionship that sets us apart.
