Quality, Personalised Home Care in Midlothian

Our home care in Midlothian delivers quality, personalised support that helps people live well in their own homes. From friendly companionship and personal care to specialist support for conditions like dementia and Parkinson’s, we tailor our approach to each individual’s needs.

Whether you’re looking for hourly support, overnight visits, or comprehensive live-in care, our care is tailored completely around what matters to you.

Our Care Professionals are not just thoroughly trained but chosen for their kindness and compassion. We carefully match each client with someone who shares their interests and values, helping to build natural trust and familiarity. This might mean enjoying a blether over lunch, taking a gentle stroll through King’s Park, or providing dignified support with personal tasks.

As a Care Inspectorate-regulated provider, we maintain high standards across our dedicated teams throughout Midlothian. From Dalkeith to Penicuik, Bonnyrigg to Gorebridge, our approach is founded on consistency, reliability and genuine connection – giving local families peace of mind that their loved ones are receiving the very best care.

Award-winning service you can trust

View all

We offer a full range of home care services in Midlothian, each delivered by a professional and compassionate local team, familiar with the area and client requirements.

Every visit is shaped around the client, with flexible support that evolves as needs change. We believe great care starts with relationships and is always centred on what matters most to each person. Here’s a range of services we offer…

Companionship Care

Our companionship care helps clients enjoy day-to-day life while staying socially connected. Whether it’s a walk through Dalkeith Country Park, a cuppa and conversation at home, or a visit to the local library in Bonnyrigg, our Care Professionals offer friendly company, emotional support, and a familiar face you can rely on.

Dementia Care

With structured, consistent routines and trained Care Professionals, our dementia care helps individuals feel safe and supported at home. Familiar surroundings and familiar people make a big difference, and our approach is calm, reassuring, and always tailored to the person’s unique journey.

Live-in Care

For those needing round-the-clock support, our live-in care provides dedicated, one-to-one help in the comfort of home. Clients can stay close to their own community – whether that’s Penicuik, Loanhead or beyond – with full-time assistance that’s respectful, discreet, and shaped entirely around their lifestyle.

Respite Care

Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but everyone needs a break. Our respite care allows family carers to rest, recharge, or focus on other commitments, knowing that their loved one is in capable hands. We follow regular routines and offer reliable support from someone local who understands what matters most.

Palliative Care

We provide sensitive, respectful palliative care at home for those living with a life-limiting illness. Our team works closely with local GPs, nurses, and support services to meet each client’s physical, emotional, and practical needs, helping families feel supported throughout a difficult time.

Choosing Home Instead for personalised home care in Midlothian

If you’re exploring options for a care agency in Midlothian, it’s important to know the difference Home Instead can make.

Unlike traditional agencies, we don’t send rotating carers for rushed 15-minute visits. We offer a fully managed, personalised service, with one-hour minimum visits delivered by familiar, trained Care Professionals who are carefully matched to each client.

Our local team gets to know you, creating care that builds confidence and supports daily routines, whether it’s visiting a favourite café in Dalkeith or enjoying time in the garden. You won’t need to manage rotas or cover staff absences – we take care of everything, professionally and reliably.

Most of all, we focus on independence, wellbeing, and continuity. From the first conversation, we aim to deliver thoughtful care that feels personal, because the best support comes from people who really know you.
