Trusted, Personalised Home Care in Edinburgh
Day care at home with Home Instead Edinburgh is flexible and can be individually tailored, supporting each client’s preferences. Care Professionals engage clients in various activities, from shared hobbies and friendly conversations to assistance with daily tasks. By matching clients with a Care Professional who shares similar interests, we build strong, positive relationships that make each day a little brighter. This approach reduces loneliness and brings a lift to clients’ days and routines, keeping them mentally stimulated and socially connected.
Staying active, engaged, and comfortable at home is at the heart of our daycare service. Whether it’s sharing a favourite activity, assisting with exercises, or preparing a nutritious meal, our Care Professionals create a positive and fulfilling routine. Unlike other providers, our approach means you always have the same familiar, dedicated Care Professionals, backed by our local office team, ready to adapt care as needs change. It’s about making every moment at home rewarding and enjoyable.

Our Care Starts With Connection
Our day care services are tailored to meet both social and practical needs, supporting clients across Edinburgh’s western suburbs like Currie, Balgreen, Corstorphine, Murrayfield, and Barnton. For one client, this means a weekly visit to Stockbridge Market with their Care Professional, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere and staying socially connected. Another client loves their outings to a local café, where they can get out and about, and have a chat over a cup of tea.
Our Home Care Services
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.
Hourly Home Care
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.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Our Edinburgh Team is With You Through Every Step
Each Care Professional is extensively trained to provide expert support, whether it's companionship, rehabilitative activities, or specialised personal care, and as well as helping people live well in the comfort of their own homes, we help them stay connected to the people and places they love, bringing reassurance and respite to their families.
Our strong local connections help clients stay active and connected to the Edinburgh community, with over a decade of experience giving us valuable links with local groups, activities, and events for meaningful engagement, whether that's a walk in Holyrood Park, a visit to a favourite cafe in Morningside, or joining a community group. We also host workshops on topics like carers support, helping families understand the positive impact day care can have on their loved ones' lives, and through our partnerships with local organisations, we create a vibrant community where older adults feel engaged and supported.
Our dementia care in Edinburgh is designed by experts and is City & Guilds Assured, so you know your loved one is receiving only the very best care. Our Care Professionals focus on creating an environment that's calm and consistent, while maintaining dignity and familiar routines to reduce confusion and keep clients comfortable.
Having someone stay in your home to provide care can feel daunting, but our live-in care solutions help to bring older adults more independence and enjoy a greater sense of wellbeing. If you value the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is always someone nearby, live-in care in Edinburgh could be an excellent alternative to a care home.
The right support is crucial when managing pain and end-of-life care. Our palliative care focuses on dignity and enables your loved one to remain in the place they feel happiest. We provide considerate palliative care in Edinburgh, so you can spend more meaningful moments together while we carefully manage their pain and comfort.
Taking a break from caring can feel impossible if your loved one is lonely or has challenging health conditions, but our respite care in Edinburgh is designed to step in with dependable care at any time. Whether you're recharging your batteries or managing other commitments, our Care Professionals can provide reliable support, so you can take time to yourself without disrupting routines.
