Home Instead Aberdeen are a private home care agency based in Aberdeen. .

The office covers the main localities across Aberdeenshire, including Inverurie, Westhill, Blackburn, Alford, Ballater and Bridge of Don.

Home Instead's hand-picked and specially trained Care Professionals pride themselves on delivering only the highest standards of care for clients in their own homes.

The team is made up of local people who know and understand the area and the local community. The Care Professionals support older people so that they are able to stay in their own homes and live independently for longer - in a happy safe and secure manner.

Why is Home Instead unique?

- Minimum of one hour visits to 24/7 care. They do not believe proper care can be provided with '15 minute calls'.

- The service matches the client with the Care Professionals so that wherever possible the same Care Professional sees the same client at the same time each day.

- All Care Professionals are employed and partake in a recruitment assessment process. They ask for up to six references plus enhanced PVG checks.

- Care Professionals are trained in Dementia Care, Moving and Assisting, Parkinson's and Medication.

Services include companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, personal care, transportation and specialist dementia support.

Staff at Home Instead regard it as a special privilege to look after people with varying needs and conditions, with compassion and empathy.

They provide the full range of homecare services and clients range from those receiving two hours of housekeeping help a week to those who receive 24-hour specialist dementia support. Others may only require help during a family break, respite period or during a palliative period.

The services are completely adaptable and variable to suit every client and family requirements.

Review from J A (Daughter of Client) published on 8 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Home Instead has provided an amazing compassionate and personalised service for my father since October 2024. Nothing is too much trouble! Consistency of staff has been excellent although a little changing around is unavoidable. I visited recently and witnessed the service at first hand. Listening
to my dad laughing so much when life is so difficult for him now was fantastic to see.

So far we have been delighted with the service provided. Care is to an excellent standard.


Home Instead have been going above and beyond to help us navigate through the challenges that have been experienced when dealing with the vagaries of the Scottish healthcare system, to ensure that the best

care possible is provided.


Dad has been well looked after at home and has been treated with dignity and respect for what is quite a challenging prognosis for him.

Review from Les M (Client) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
To be honest, I was highly sceptical of dealing with a company that, as far as I was aware was an unknown factor in my region. I need not have worried, it was obvious from the outset and during the course of our initial meeting that integrity was one of their primary objectives. Their professionalism
shone through, nothing was too much trouble. As for the other team members employed by them, nothing was too much trouble and they were only too willing to adapt to your routine and lifestyle. To summarise, I would not hesitate to highly recommend the company.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.765 for Home Instead (Aberdeen) is calculated as follows: ( (13 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 17 Ratings = 4.765

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows: 3 points for the first Positive Review, 2 points in total for each of the next 9 Positive Reviews (1st = 3, 2nd = 0.5, 3rd = 0.5, 4th = 0.25, 5th = 0.25, 6th = 0.1, 7th = 0.1, 8th = 0.1, 9th = 0.1, 10th = 0.1)

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Home Instead (Aberdeen) is based on 3 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 4
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
