Choosing the right palliative care services is about finding people who will treat your loved one as an individual, not simply as someone receiving support. We take that responsibility seriously, and start every new care relationship by listening to each person's preferences, routines and priorities, creating a highly tailored palliative care experience that feels familiar to them, respects their wishes, and reassures the whole family – your loved one is in safe hands with us. Our Care Professionals can provide a combination of care services that can relieve pressure, such as sensitive personal care, housekeeping support, medication management, mobility assistance, and anything else that will make life at home a little easier. As needs naturally change, the care plan can be adapted so it continues to meet Care Quality Commission regulations as well as your loved one's personal wishes.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

The person providing palliative care should be someone your loved one feels comfortable welcoming into their home, so we match every client with a dedicated Care Professional whose personality and approach encourage genuine connection from the outset. By seeing the same trusted person regularly, your loved one can build a connection that's founded on familiarity and a genuine understanding of what is needed, whether practical support, emotional support, or a combination of both. They may be accompanying them to appointments at East Lothian Community Hospital, coordinating with visiting healthcare providers or simply being a listening ear when they need to talk – your loved one's Care Professional can provide reassurance throughout their care. All our Care Professionals complete specialist palliative care training focused on compassionate communication and comfort-focused care, so you can feel comfortable knowing our support is always being reviewed to ensure it remains a good fit. In addition, regular reviews with your family help ensure our palliative care continues to reflect your loved one's changing priorities.
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.
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. 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.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
