We can support local people with companionship and conversation, whether you live alone and don’t see family or friends as often as you’d like, or simply want company for appointments or shopping trips. We believe that true companionship care comes from continuity, familiarity, and trust, which is why we carefully match our Care Professionals with clients, make personal introductions and ensure that the same friendly face returns each time.

Home Care in West Lothian
The team here at Home Instead West Lothian (Livingston) are proud to provide expert home care in West Lothian. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
What sets our companionship care apart is our relationship-led approach. Our Care Professionals don’t wear uniforms because we want every visit or outing - whether it’s at home or to a local garden centre - to feel relaxed and natural. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference to the families we support. It feels more like a family member visiting, someone who is there to share experiences, whether that’s a chat over tea or helping with hobbies. And because we match our Care Professionals based on interests and personality, introduce our Care Professionals personally, you always know who’s coming, no unexpected strangers.
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.
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!

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.

We’re based locally in Livingston, and we’re proud to offer companionship care across West Lothian, from Blackridge to Balerno, up to Linlithgow & Bo’Ness. When it comes to companionship, we understand the importance of keeping life as close to normal as possible. Whether it’s popping out to a local park or just having someone to talk to at home, our Care Professionals are there to enrich the lives of those we care for. We focus on continuity so that your loved ones build a real relationship with their Care Professional, someone who understands them and what’s important to them as an individual - which is why we’ve been recognised as one of Scotland’s Top 20 Home Care Providers for three years running.
Our West Lothian Team is With You Through Every Step
Our team is our greatest asset, and we take great care of them. We're proud to be recognised as a five-star employer because we believe that when our Care Professionals feel supported and valued, they provide better care. They're highly trained, compassionate, and dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of our clients. With minimum one hour visits, we ensure that each Care Professional has the time to build a real connection with those they care for, which is something many agencies simply can't offer with quick, 15 or 30 minute in and out visits.
That same commitment to quality shapes how we stay connected to the wider community too. We're part of the local community here in West Lothian. From attending social groups in Bathgate to helping our clients enjoy their favourite local spots around Linlithgow, we're always looking for ways to support social connection and improve quality of life. That's why we work closely with local organisations to produce our "What's On Where in West Lothian" guide, a fantastic resource for older adults that lists over 200 local activities, from support groups, to exercise classes and social groups. We believe that our companionship care can support older adults to continue to live their lives to the fullest.
We deliver tailored home care to the West Lothian community to nurture wellbeing and independence.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
