At Home Instead, we believe that home help should create possibilities beyond the front door. Our personalised service in East Lothian starts with understanding you as an individual, and taking the time to learn about your interests, personality, and the sort of companionship that would help you feel comfortable and confident in your own home. We then carefully match you with a dedicated Care Professional with the experience to support you, and whose personality, values and communication style are a natural fit with yours. This gives every relationship the opportunity to grow through consistent support from a familiar face. As they take care of household chores like cleaning, laundry and tidying, you'll have more time to enjoy the local area and spend quality time with the people who matter most to you. In East Lothian, that might mean going on a day out with loved ones to the coast at North Berwick, going shopping in Edinburgh city centre, or just meeting a friend for coffee someplace nice – whatever creates more connection and enjoyment in your day. By freeing you from everyday household pressures while encouraging lasting relationships and community involvement, we can help to strengthen your independence at home and help you continue living life on your own terms.
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.

Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
