What is important to many of the people we support is being able to maintain their connections in Edinburgh. Many of our Care Professionals drive, so they can provide transport to appointments, visits with friends and family, or regular groups and activities in the community. That might mean joining one of Edinburgh Leisure’s Ageing Well walks, taking a stroll through The Meadows or spending time at the LifeCare Centre in Stockbridge, which runs activities and a community cafe for older adults. A Care Professional is also there to provide practical support and companionship at home, helping with personal care, medication, meals and household tasks where needed. Because the care is provided consistently, they get to know the person’s usual routines and can often notice changes in things such as mobility, mood or appetite.
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.

By submitting this form, you consent to Home Instead contacting you about our care services. Your data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We will never share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
The support we provide depends entirely on what you need. Some of our clients mainly want companionship, cooking and a hand around the house, while others need fuller care, including help with washing and dressing, medication through the day, and support to move safely around the home. Whatever the level, it is arranged around you from the start. Your Care Professional will live in a spare room in your home and will usually work an eight to ten hour day, agreed at the initial assessment, with proper breaks. They sleep at the house, so someone is close by overnight if anything unexpected happens, and if continuous care is needed through the night we will discuss how best to support you. To provide continuity, most of our clients are supported by two Care Professionals who take it in turns to live in for a few weeks at a time. Our local team plans the handovers carefully and arranges cover if either is ever unavailable.
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.

Our live-in care is fully managed by a local team in Edinburgh who live and work in the area themselves. Because we are close by, we know the local GPs, community groups and district nurses locally, and we can connect you and your family with the right services when they are needed. We can also call on trusted tradespeople if something in the house needs attention. We believe families should feel involved and informed throughout. From the first enquiry you will deal with a small local team who know you and your situation, and we keep relatives updated as often as they wish, whether they live nearby or further away. We are regulated and inspected by the Care Inspectorate, so the standard of our care is checked independently and families can feel confident in the support we provide. If you have particular needs, whether that is short-term support, longer-term care or help returning home from hospital, speak with us and we will agree how best to help.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
