We provide award winning care in Galashiels, Hawick, Peebles, Kelso, Selkirk, Jedburgh, Eyemouth, Innerleithen, Duns, Melrose and the surrounding areas
With a Care Professional living in the home, we can respond quickly to changes in mood or medication needs, noticing early on if someone is not quite themselves. This everyday reassurance brings peace of mind to both the individual and their wider family. Our approach is to encourage our clients to do as much as they can for themselves, supporting independence wherever possible.
Our support is tailored entirely around personal preferences. This often may include help with getting up and ready in the morning, personal care, or medication support. We support many clients with preparing nutritious meals or planning the weekly shop together.
Staying connected to the local community remains a priority for many of our clients choosing live-in care. A Care Professional can accompany trips to Hexham Farmers' Market, a walk through Carlisle Park, or visits with friends to a local community group. We also support many people living with dementia and those returning home after a stay in hospital, helping them settle comfortably back into their own space.
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
Having the same Care Professional living in the house brings dependable stability to daily life. This regular presence makes everyday routines much easier to manage. We can assist with personal care, provide medication reminders, and support with tasks around the house that may have become more difficult. Many Care Professionals also drive, so local journeys and local errands can easily be included where this suits the person, their mobility and their care plan.
Behind our team of Care Professionals is our local team who supports both the individual and the Care Professional with ongoing training and guidance. This oversight helps maintain high standards of support, giving the family confidence that their relative is looked after properly.
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.

Our Northumberland Team is With You Through Every Step
Our live-in care is fully managed by our team in Northumberland. We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), who inspect our service to ensure we consistently meet high standards of care.
Each local team includes a dedicated Care Manager as a direct point of contact for families. They oversee the quality of care, regularly review the care plan as circumstances change, and provide clear updates from the local office. If support is needed during the night, we can talk through how best to arrange that.
This local, fully managed approach gives families confidence that day-to-day care is carefully overseen. For the person living at home, it means receiving attentive, personalised care that adapts as their needs change, while relatives stay informed at every stage.
