Outstanding Live-in Care in Edinburgh Stay in your own Home

Live-in Carers in Edinburgh

Able Community Care has provided Live-In Care in Edinburgh since the 1980s.

Our clients are both older people and people with a disability who want to remain in their own homes rather than the upheaval of moving away from those familiar surroundings into a residential care setting.
Hourly care is not appropriate for people with high dependency care needs who need support continuously, 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Hourly support often has to be offered at times that are not appropriate for the client but only for the care provider and their care workers.

A trustworthy service.
Our Live-in Carers will provide support for domestic tasks, personal care needs, companionship, and, by living in, an added element of safety. We aim to provide each client with a fortnightly, rotational system of Carers, who they feel happy to have in their own home.

All our Carers have a minimum of one year’s experience in the care field and are interviewed face-to-face or via Zoom.

With references obtained and verified as genuine by Able Community Care.

Mandatory training is updated annually.

They have also undergone enhanced police checks, which are updated every three years.
