Live-in Care in Scotland lets you or your loved one stay safely at home while receiving professional, one-to-one support every day. Below you’ll discover how our trusted, fully managed service works and why so many families across the region choose it over residential care.

Live-in Care in Scotland: Safe, Personal Support Wherever You Call Home

From the Western Isles to the Borders, we provide dependable live-in care that keeps people comfortable, independent and connected to their communities.

Bringing Expert Care to Rural, Island and Urban Scottish Communities

Scotland’s geography is unique: crofting villages along the coast, remote Highland glens and vibrant city neighbourhoods. Our carers travel to you whether you’re on Skye, in Aberdeen or overlooking Glasgow Green so distance is never a barrier to quality live-in care in Scotland.

How Live-in Care Works Across Scotland

A dedicated carer lives in your home and helps with personal care, medication, home-cooked meals, mobility and friendly companionship. Plans are overseen by registered nurses and adapted to local customs perhaps that means speaking a little Gaelic or keeping favourite mealtimes. Families tell us this style of live-in care in Scotland feels more personal than rota-based visits.

Who We Support in Scotland

  • Retired tradespeople who value practical help but dislike fuss
  • Veterans and emergency-service personnel seeking routine and respect
  • Gaelic-speaking clients in the Highlands and Islands
  • Couples wishing to stay together when one partner’s needs change
  • People living with dementia, Parkinson’s or post-stroke effects
  • Adults in remote areas where standard care visits are infrequent

What Families Across Scotland Say About Us

“Mum’s in Argyll and I work in London. Knowing she has the same carer every day and I get regular updates from the care manager, that has been a game-changer!”
— Fiona, Argyll & Bute

“Dad’s croft is five miles from the nearest village. Live-in care keeps him with his sheep and his dog. We couldn’t ask for more.”
— Calum, Edinburgh

How We Match Carers to Clients in Scotland

Our matching process is at the heart of what makes live-in care in Scotland feel so personal. We take time to understand your needs, personality, and lifestyle—from whether you enjoy quiet mornings or Gaelic conversation, to preferences around meals and pets. Then we introduce a carer with the right experience, language skills and temperament. Every introduction is backed by thorough vetting, DBS checks, and regular supervision from a named care manager. It’s all part of making sure your care feels like a good fit from the start.

Live-in Care vs Care Homes in Scotland

Care homes can be hours away from rural properties, making visits difficult and isolating loved ones from their communities. Live-in care in Scotland keeps families together, allows pets to remain at home and avoids selling property.
