Daily support might include helping someone move safely between rooms, or offering medication reminders to keep prescriptions on track. In the kitchen, a Care Professional can help prepare familiar recipes while leaving space for clients to do what they still enjoy. Every person we support has slightly different needs, so we personalise our help around how they like to live and the support they need to remain at home. We believe in doing things with our clients rather than taking over, encouraging independence wherever possible. Maintaining local connections matters enormously to our clients. That might mean a trip to Kelso Farmers Market, a walk through Wilton Lodge Park in Hawick, or joining community events with friends. We also support many people with specific conditions such as dementia or Parkinson's, adapting our practical help to what feels manageable each day.
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 start with a conversation about what you need, meeting in your home so we can understand your everyday environment. Because every client is different, we personalise the care plan around your individual preferences, routines and care needs. We then carefully match you with a Care Professional who has the right skills and a compatible personality, making sure everyone feels comfortable sharing the home. Many families look into live-in care when someone is living with dementia or Parkinson's, or when extra help is needed after a stay in hospital. Whatever the circumstances, we shape our care around what is important to the person, supporting their independence in a way that feels natural.
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.
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!
