Our approach combines practical assistance with watchful companionship – while we’re helping with laundry, meal preparation, or tidying, we’re also checking if medications are being taken, if food supplies are adequate, and whether post is being managed. By spending unhurried time in each visit, our Care Professionals can spot subtle signs that might need attention, from unopened post to dwindling supplies. This proactive approach helps prevent small challenges from becoming larger concerns, keeping families informed and involved in their loved one’s wellbeing.
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of of a unique mix services to meet your needs.
Companionship care
We carefully match Care Professionals with clients to ensure a meaningful bond is created.
Home help & meal prep
Keeping the home environment clean, safe, and nourishing with home-cooked meals.
Personal care
Assistance with bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, always respecting the dignity of your loved one.
Mobility support
Helping your loved one move around their home safely, including transfers and positioning.
Health appointment management
We support you to attend those important health appointments.
Community engagement
We enable you to continue to do the things you enjoy, be it a visit to the garden centre or your local art group.
Transportation
Assistance getting you from A to B, whether it be to go visit a friend or help with your shopping.
Medication management
Ensuring medicines are taken correctly and on time, supporting overall health.
The value of our comprehensive approach is reflected in Elaine E’s testimonial on homecare.co.uk, where she describes how her Care Professional “happily tends to my needs without constant instruction” and has become “increasingly aware of my ever-changing condition.” Another client’s relative noted on homecare.co.uk, M R shared that “all housework jobs are done very well,” highlighting our commitment to maintaining high standards. These authentic reviews demonstrate how our attentive service supports both practical needs and peace of mind.

Under the leadership of Euan Lafferty and Care Manager Jane Fargie, our fully trained and employed Care Professionals receive comprehensive instruction in both practical skills and observational care. We use a secure care app to keep families updated on visit details and any changes we notice, while our office team, including Support Co-ordinator Nicole Davie, is always available to discuss care needs or adjust schedules. This combination of professional support and open communication ensures families stay connected to their loved one’s care journey.
Beyond individual home support, we’re actively involved in local community initiatives that enhance our service. Our national partnership with Barclays Digital Eagles helps us protect clients from fraud, while our regular engagement with local services ensures we can signpost clients to additional support when needed.
