Your dedicated Care Professional can take care of the household tasks that have become harder for your over time, while ensuring your home continues to feel exactly the way you like it.

Our Care Starts With Connection
Everyone has their own idea of a fulfilling day, which is why Home Instead believes home help should always be personalised to your needs and preferences. Our home help service in Scotland starts by learning about your interests, personality, and the activities that bring you the greatest enjoyment in your daily life. This allows us to match you with a dedicated Care Professional whose character and approach are a natural fit with yours, helping to develop a trusted connection. With regular support taking care of the household jobs that have become more difficult for you, you'll have more time and energy to enjoy activities like day trips to a nearby park or loch with family, joining a class at your local community centre, or meeting a friend for coffee in your favourite spot. This enables you to continue feeling connected to your local community, while also helping you to live independently with more confidence.
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.
