Paul, Client
As I got older, I realised that this service had made me happy in my own home.
Elisie, Client
The difference in quality care has far-reaching benefits, as noted by our clients and their loved ones. Elizabeth, a client’s wife, shared, “What is important to me is that the carer manages to get my husband to change into gardening clothes and back again after getting him to do some work in the garden and still keep him in a good mood. I take my hat off to her!” Karen, the daughter of a client, stated, “We have been using Home Instead for our mum for four years now and have been very happy with the care she has received. My mum now has a team of 4 staff who visit so she had some support every day.” These testimonials, sourced from homecare.co.uk, attest to the exceptional care and support our team provides.
Our experienced leadership team for Portobello and Joppa brings over 40 years of combined Home Instead service, with Allana, Beth, Cara, Kathryn and Kirsty holding qualifications in Health and Social Care and Leadership and Management. Based at our Edinburgh office, we understand how important finding the right care is for local families, and many of our Care Professionals have been with us for years, reflecting how we value and invest in their ongoing development through comprehensive training. We bring that same dedication into the Portobello and Joppa community, supporting clients and their families. Throughout the year, we host practical Care Conversations sessions at our office, covering essential topics like Understanding Dementia and Power of Attorney, while our free Dementia Workshops provide vital guidance for families.
