Every person we support has their own way of doing things, and our Care Professionals learn those preferences from the start. That might mean helping someone get dressed at their preferred time, preparing meals the way they like them, or keeping the house tidy in a way that feels right. Personal care is handled at a pace that suits the person, with dignity and discretion throughout. Staying active matters. A Care Professional might sit down with someone to work through a crossword, help with walking the dog, or provide company for a gentle afternoon at Bowhill House and Country Estate. Being involved in the things you enjoy is a big part of living well at home, and we support people to keep doing exactly that. Our care fits around each person's life. We offer hourly visiting care during the day, overnight support where needed, and live-in care for those who'd benefit from round-the-clock company. Every visit lasts at least an hour, so there's always enough time to do things properly.
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.

By submitting this form, you consent to Home Instead contacting you about our care services. Your data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We will never share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
We match each client with a small, consistent team of Care Professionals. The same familiar faces visit each time. Over weeks and months, your Care Professional gets to know how you like your morning routine, which programmes you enjoy watching in the evening, and the little details that make your day feel like yours. That kind of knowledge comes from spending proper time with someone, not from reading notes. Our Care Professionals don't wear uniforms, which helps visits feel more like having someone you know pop round than receiving a service. They're selected for their character and values, then given industry-leading training so they're well prepared from day one. When a Care Professional notices small changes in someone's health, appetite, or mood, they flag things early. Consistency means nothing gets missed, and the person receiving care doesn't have to keep explaining themselves to someone new.
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.
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.

When you're looking for a care agency in the Scottish Borders, knowing that someone is overseeing quality gives real peace of mind. We operate as a fully managed service, which means we handle everything: recruiting and training Care Professionals, creating personalised care plans, and reviewing them regularly as things change. That's a different experience from arranging care independently and coordinating things yourself. We're regulated by the Care Inspectorate, and our standards reflect that accountability. Our local team keeps families informed and involved, with regular updates and open communication so you always know how things are going. Care plans are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and we adjust support whenever circumstances shift. If you're not sure where to start, we're happy to talk things through and help you understand what level of support might be appropriate. There's no pressure, just straightforward information to help you make the right decision.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
