Paul, Client
As I got older, I realised that this service had made me happy in my own home.
Elisie, Client
Our clients and their loved ones share the positive impact of our home care services. Heather, a client’s daughter, said, “We recently started using Home Instead for my independent mother… Home Instead carefully matched her with a lovely companion/carer. She’s caring, helpful, and respects Mum’s independence.” Mark, another client’s son, added, “Dad receives twice-weekly visits for companionship, shopping, and trips. Our carer is helpful and keeps me regularly updated on Dad’s wellbeing. I’d recommend Home Instead for elderly support.” These testimonials, from homecare.co.uk, underscore the value of our personalised home care services.
Our leadership team brings over 40 years of combined experience to guide and support our skilled care professionals. We invest in our team's development through Health and Social Care qualifications and extensive training, and working closely with families across Leith and Edinburgh, we create tailored Care Plans that give both clients and their loved ones genuine peace of mind. We bring that same dedication into Leith and the surrounding areas, working closely with local groups to support older people in their community. Throughout the year, we host Care Conversations workshops covering essential topics like Understanding Dementia and Power of Attorney, while our 'Be a Santa' programme brings festive cheer to isolated older adults in the area. Our team also regularly takes part in charitable activities, from hosting Macmillan Coffee Mornings at our office to completing the One Million Steps challenge for Diabetes UK.
