Why Personal Care may be right for you
Our Care Professionals undergo extensive training to ensure they deliver personal care safely, with dignity and skill. As a regulated service under the Care Inspectorate, we maintain rigorous standards in care delivery and training. Unlike self-employed carers, we offer the assurance of continuity, if your regular Care Professional needs to take leave, our Edinburgh-based team will handle scheduling adjustments, ensuring you’re always supported.

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!Isabel R daughter of client

Promoting good personal hygiene helps to prevent illness and the spread of infection. It also helps maintain self-confidence and dignity.
A familiar care professional matched with you provides personalised care and support to you in your own home in the way you want it to be provided.
We understand that it can be difficult accepting personal care and that is why you will be introduced to your Care Professionals and they will spend time getting to know you before assisting you with your personal care.
At Home Instead we ensure that each client has a small team of Care Professionals in place to provide you with care so you can be confident that you will have continuity from the same Care Professionals.
At Home Instead, we have a robust approach to ensuring that all Care Professionals have regular observations of practice that we call Support Visits, and assessments of competency for key activities such as handling medication or providing catheter care.
