Quality of life is often found in the little moments that make each day feel familiar, so at Home Instead, we provide compassionate, at-home palliative care throughout the Scottish Borders to help those who need it. We support people in remaining at home where they can continue enjoying the routines and relationships that matter most to them – that might mean sharing coffee with family, reading in a favourite chair, or listening to the sound of grandchildren playing in the garden. These simple pleasures often provide comfort that goes beyond words, so our personalised care is designed to make more of these possible by managing their pain or symptoms, and maintaining their dignity and wellbeing so they can stay as comfortable as possible in the home they know and love.

Knowing your loved one is being cared for by people who genuinely listen and care can make an emotional time feel a little less daunting. That's why we take the time to understand your loved one's wishes, values, and the familiar comforts that continue to support their wellbeing while they manage a life-limiting condition. This allows us to deliver highly personalised palliative care that reflects who they are as a person, not just the symptoms they are managing. Our Care Professionals can provide whatever types of care your loved one needs to stay in their own home, such as personal care, medication management, home help, mobility support, or specialist care, and we make sure everything can be adapted as their needs change. Every service follows Care Quality Commission regulations, and by working alongside your loved one's clinical team, we can ensure our care complements their wider support and is always delivered to the highest standard.
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.

A familiar relationship can provide reassurance in ways that go beyond practical care alone. We aim to match your loved one with a dedicated Care Professional whose personality and communication style help create a genuine connection from the outset. Through regular visits, they can come to understand your loved one's preferences, routines and changing needs, allowing support to become increasingly personal with every interaction. Whether accompanying them to appointments at Borders General Hospital, coordinating with visiting healthcare professionals or simply providing companionship at home, they can remain a dependable source of comfort and connection for your loved one during a difficult time. Regular reviews with your family help us to ensure our care continues to reflect your loved one's wishes, and each of our Care Professionals receives specialist palliative care training so you can feel confident in the support being offered at every stage.
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.
