Live-in Care in Scotland

Live-in Carers in Scotland

From the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow to the Highlands, the Islands, and remote rural communities, we help older people and adults with disabilities remain safely and comfortably in their own homes, rather than moving into residential care.

Unlike hourly care, which can feel fragmented and disruptive, our live-in carers provide continuous 24-hour support with a consistent, fortnightly rotational system. This means clients can build trusting relationships with a small team of carers who truly get to know them and their home — whether in a bustling city, a Highland village, or on one of the Outer Islands.

Our carers are carefully selected, interviewed face-to-face or via Zoom, and have a minimum of one year’s experience. All references are verified, enhanced police checks are carried out, and mandatory training is updated annually.

We aim to deliver a trustworthy, compassionate service that puts the client’s comfort, dignity and safety first.
