Home Care in Balerno

We provide trusted home care in Balerno and the surrounding areas, supporting clients to live independently and comfortably in their own homes. Our Care Professionals bring warmth and companionship to every visit, ensuring that clients remain connected to their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s a peaceful walk through the scenic countryside or enjoying a cup of tea at a local café, we make each moment count. With our Care Inspectorate ‘Very Good’ rating and our position as one of the top-rated home care providers in the area, we take pride in offering high-quality care that focuses on meaningful relationships and personalised support.

Our approach to home care in Balerno is centred around individuality. We take the time to understand each client’s unique needs and preferences, creating care plans that evolve naturally as those needs change. Our Care Professionals visit for a minimum of one hour, allowing time to build genuine relationships and provide comprehensive support.

Whether helping with daily routines, providing personal care, or offering companionship, we ensure that every visit is a positive experience for our clients, helping them maintain their independence and enjoy their everyday activities. As our clients’ needs develop, this can also incorporate additional support such as Dementia Care or Palliative Care that is tailored to each individual.

Our experienced leadership team in Balerno works tirelessly to provide exceptional care. Led by our owner, Graham Stevenson, who founded Home Instead after personally experiencing the challenges of arranging care for his own grandmother, our team understands the importance of providing local, reliable support. Our Care Manager, Nadine Whitelaw, has progressed through every level of our organisation, bringing valuable hands-on experience to her leadership role. With a close-knit office team and a commitment to ongoing professional development, we ensure that every Care Professional has the tools and support they need to deliver top-notch care.

We are active throughout Balerno and the wider local area, working in partnership with third sector organisations to support older adults in our community. Our quarterly ‘What’s On Where Guide’ helps clients discover and join in with local activities around West Lothian, whilst our annual participation in our ‘Be A Santa To A Senior’ campaign helps to bring festive cheer to hundreds of isolated local elderly people each winter. We regularly host free dementia workshops and will bring the Virtual Dementia Tour Bus to our upcoming community awareness events, helping families better understand and support loved ones living with dementia.
