Home Care Providers Owned by Home Instead in City of Edinburgh

Homecare staff have been visiting my father in his home for about 5 months now and they have been brilliant! My father really looks forward to his twice weekly visits and the conversations and laughs he has with the lady who visits him. These visits allow me periods of much needed respite and I can relax knowing my father is being taken care of. Thank you and keep up the great work you do!

I would certainly recommend this company to others seeking home care.

I have been delighted with the service provided by Home Instead for my brother.

He is in his late seventies, has suffered cognitive decline & lost his much loved wife & carer last year. Our goal was to allow him to stay in his home and have freedom to do what he wants, when he wants.

HI spent much time at our initial meeting gathering information, his physical & mental challenges, his preferences & dislikes and then risk assessed the flat. A potential carer match was found quickly and trialled. This went very well. She attends for just 1 hour per day at teatime to tidy & provide him with a meal, a batch of which that we order weekly.

From our family perspective, we are comforted in the knowledge that he is a) Ok and b) eating well. The daily online reports that Deborah provides are very useful.

Karolina has done really well to facilitate this as my mother can find it difficult to engage with outside help at times and can find it difficult to express clearly what she needs. We are delighted that the service is flexible and that we can increase input flexibly as needed.

The support provided by mum's companion was exceptional. She personalised the care, was creative and made their time together fun. The app was extremely helpful and insightful. We would have liked more transparency around the setup fee at the beginning.

We have been pleased with the care mum has been given. the care professionals have been patient and kind, and the Home Instead team have been brilliant at making sure there is always someone in place if the regular carer can't be here. I like the regular reviews and the daily online updates. All round, very pleased.

I am absolutely delighted with the care provided to my family member by Home Instead. His carer is friendly and thoughtful and has made the adjustment to receiving personal care easy by his respectful attitude and consideration. Communication is very good and I feel happy to know that M. is safe and happy. Thank you.

Lovely carers who my mum really appreciates.

Home Instead provide an excellent caring service. Our mother has been using the service for 18 months, she has early dementia and her carer is extremely considerate of her needs and helped her maintain her independence for as long as possible.

The service is really good at matching the carer with the client and is very client focused. The communication with the family is excellent and mum is very fond of her carer. I have recommended home instead to friends.

She gets on well with my cousin and really meets his needs and wishes. Lucky to have her!

Thank you!

Caring for someone with ongoing and changing needs can be challenging, and having a dependable, empathetic team in place has made a significant difference to us. Knowing that my father is supported by people who are respectful and attentive gives us real peace of mind. We are very grateful for the support they provide and would confidently recommend their services.

We have found Will to be a very valuable companion to my mother who welcomes, nay relies, on his weekly visits. Excellent service.

The level of care that Mum is receiving is excellent. All of the Home Instead carers take time to talk, empathise and maintain a kind and caring relationship. This goes above simply providing a level of 'domestic' cover but reaches out on a personal level.

Visits by the carers are looked forward to and not simply endured.

The professionalism that the administrators provide is fantastic. As the care situation evolves they are always responsive and keen to accommodate and adapt to ensure continuity, which at this stage is key to a calm and caring environment.

Home Instead have allowed my Mum to keep living in the familiar surroundings of her home with comfort, compassion and above all else, dignity.

Home Instead were brilliant at finding and putting in place carers for my elderly father. The carers were superb, and very respectful. I always felt there was a great support team working in the office. Any questions were answered immediately and there was always a voice at the end of the phone.

Everyone I have spoken to on the phone or through email has been so kind and understanding. I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead for someone needing home care for their family and can't thank them enough.

We have been working with Home Instead for 3 years. I cannot say enough good things about them. All the carers have been wonderful, and are consistently kind, caring and receptive to my mum's needs. As I do not live close by, I really value knowing that my mum is in safe and reliable hands. The daily log that I can see online is incredibly helpful, and the office has always been extremely responsive when I have needed to make changes.

We have had a very positive experience with Home Instead for the six months that we have been using their services. The office staff are helpful, understanding and communicative. They respond immediately to changes in care needs and are a pleasure to deal with. We have also been very lucky with the care professionals who have been allocated to assist my parents. They bring different skill sets which compliment each other and have demonstrated genuine care and compassion. Most importantly, they have made my parents totally at ease with their daily presence, for which I am very thankful.

The carers are excellent, kind and caring and very attentive to my husbands needs assisting him with all the necessary assistance.

We appreciate this very helpful, kind, efficient and thoughtful service which we have been very happy to receive for nearly a year now. It has made all the difference to daily life and we are most grateful. Thank you so much
