Pioneering Complex Care Services at Home:
How Home Instead South Lanarkshire is Leading the Way
Could Your Loved One Benefit from Complex Care at Home?
Caring for a loved one with complex health needs often raises a daunting question: is it possible to manage such care at home? For many families in South Lanarkshire, the answer is a resounding yes, thanks to the innovative approach from Home Instead South Lanarkshire. The care provider is proving that home care goes far beyond personal assistance, offering highly specialised support for those with significant medical or physical needs.
Real-Life Stories of Complex Care
Alan Barr, who leads Home Instead South Lanarkshire, is passionate about pushing the boundaries of home care. He shared an inspiring example from his own team’s experience, describing a time when they went the extra mile to support a client with kidney dialysis.
“We took the team away and got them trained at the local hospital with a kidney dialysis machine. The nurse came out; we put it in the home environment and trained them there again,” Alan explains. This allowed the client to receive life-saving dialysis at home rather than making weekly hospital visits. The care team managed the treatment every evening, ensuring the client’s needs were met in the comfort of their own home. “Quite scary stuff, I suppose, you know,” Alan adds, highlighting the complexity involved.
But this is not an isolated case. Home Instead South Lanarkshire has also supported clients with spinal injuries, offering 24-hour care and assistance with all aspects of daily living. As Alan says, “Spinal injuries just mean you’re pretty much doing everything for them and you’re there all the time.”
Meeting Diverse Needs with Personalised Care
One of the most remarkable aspects of Home Instead South Lanarkshire’s service is its ability to cater to clients with a wide range of needs. From physical disabilities to learning difficulties and behavioural issues, their care professionals receive specialist training to deliver effective, compassionate care.
“We’ve got some really complex stuff, but it’s all manageable with the right training,” Alan emphasises. The company’s commitment to professional development ensures that staff are equipped to handle everything from technical medical tasks to emotional and behavioural support.

Alan points out that while their services are often arranged through social workers or local authorities, families with private care budgets also turn to Home Instead South Lanarkshire for customised care solutions.
“We can train staff, we can hire, we can monitor—pretty much everything can be done in the home,” says Alan. This is a unique offering, especially when it comes to managing complex medical conditions outside of a hospital setting.
