Live-in Care in Galashiels

Live-in Carers in Galashiels

Including surrounding towns and villages

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

Our clients — older people and adults with disabilities — want to continue living safely and happily in their own homes in Galashiels and the surrounding Scottish Borders towns and villages, rather than face the upheaval of moving into a residential care setting.

Hourly care is often not suitable for those with high dependency needs who require continuous 24-hour support, 7 days a week.

What’s more, hourly visits frequently happen at times that suit the care provider rather than the client.

A trustworthy service. Our experienced live-in carers provide domestic help, personal care, and warm companionship. By living in, they offer that vital extra sense of safety and reassurance. We carefully rotate carers on a fortnightly basis so our clients in Galashiels always feel comfortable and supported 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.
