Home care in Northumberland
Home care in Northumberland supports people to live independently and comfortably in the place they know best - home. Enter postcode of the person to find your nearest office and local care team.
We provide award winning care in Galashiels, Hawick, Peebles, Kelso, Selkirk, Jedburgh, Eyemouth, Innerleithen, Duns, Melrose and the surrounding areas
We match every client with a Care Professional based on shared interests and personality, not just availability. If someone loves gardening, we'll pair them with a Care Professional who's happy to get outside and help keep the borders tidy or plant something new together. If they'd rather spend an afternoon visiting Cragside House for a walk through the grounds, we'll find someone who enjoys that too. When two people have something in common, everything else flows more easily.
Our Care Professionals also help people keep doing the things they're used to, whether that's cooking favourite meals from their own recipes, keeping on top of prescriptions, or getting out to the shops each week. Each one holds accredited qualifications and completes ongoing training. They're well prepared, but more importantly, they understand that good support means stepping in where it's welcome and stepping back where it isn't. We're regulated by the CQC as an organisation, so there's clear accountability behind every visit.
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.
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 Care Starts With Connection
Trust isn't something we can rush. It grows through small, repeated things: a Care Professional remembering how someone likes their breakfast, knowing which cupboard the good plates live in, or noticing when someone seems a bit quieter than usual.
Because we send the same Care Professional wherever possible, these details stick. Over weeks and months, the relationship shifts. It stops feeling like a service and starts feeling like having someone familiar around who knows the routine. A Care Professional might notice that a client hasn't been eating as well, or that they've been less steady on their feet, and flag it early because they know what's normal for that person.
That kind of familiarity takes time, and we protect it. Our minimum visit length is one hour, giving people space to settle into things rather than feeling hurried.
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 Northumberland Team is With You Through Every Step
When families start looking for a care agency in Northumberland, they often end up speaking to someone different every time they call. We operate as a fully managed service, which means our team handles recruitment, training, scheduling, and ongoing oversight of every care plan.
A dedicated care manager is assigned to each client from the outset. They carry out regular reviews, stay in close contact with families, and adjust the care plan as needs change. If a client's situation shifts, we respond quickly because we already know their background, preferences, and routine.
Care Professionals don't wear uniforms, which helps things feel more natural at home. Every visit is logged and monitored, giving families a clear picture of the support being provided. When questions arise, families can speak to someone who knows their loved one's care plan in detail, rather than having to explain everything from scratch each time they call.
Our dementia care in Northumberland 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 Northumberland 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 Northumberland, 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 Northumberland 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.
