Our Home Care Services in Edinburgh
Saining Care is a local domiciliary care agency. Our home carers support adults and older people in their own homes, with a care plan built around the person rather than a timetable.
Live-In Carers
A dedicated live-in carer gives round-the-clock support, so your loved one can stay safe and settled at home.
Respite Care
Respite care at home gives family carers time to rest, recharge or go away, knowing their loved one is in good hands.
Specialist Care
Experienced carers for dementia, Parkinson's, disabilities and other complex care needs.
Day Care
Daytime help at home with personal care, housework, shopping, appointments and trips out.
Night Care
Overnight carers who keep your loved one safe and comfortable, so the whole family can sleep easier.
Reablement
Short-term support at home to rebuild confidence and independence after illness, injury or a hospital stay.
Not sure which type of care is right?
You don't need to have it all worked out. Tell us a little about your situation and we'll help you find the right level of care, starting with a free, no-obligation assessment at home.


How to Arrange Home Care in Edinburgh
There's no waiting list and no complicated process. Just four simple steps, at your pace.
1. Get in touch
Tell us what you're looking for. Share as much or as little as you like.
Or call 07473 620509
2. We visit you at home
We arrange a free in-home assessment at a time that suits you, to understand the needs, routines and preferences involved.
3. You choose your carer
We don't send whoever happens to be free. We hand-pick a shortlist of carers we think will fit, and the final choice is always yours.
4. Start with a one-week trial
Care begins with a one-week trial. If the match isn't quite right, we'll find someone who is.
"I used Saining Care's services last year for three months, and I am incredibly grateful for the support they provided. I needed help with washing my hair, showering and laundry. The team was professional, thoughtful, and always made sure I was comfortable with how things were done. Their kindness and excellent care helped me return to my baseline.
I highly recommend Saining Care to anyone in need of compassionate and reliable assistance."

How Much Does Home Care Cost in Edinburgh?
Home care with Saining Care starts at £35 an hour.
It's one rate for day visits and night visits, and you'll know exactly what you're paying before care starts.
How much does live-in or 24-hour care cost?
Live-in care is priced to suit. The cost depends on how much support your loved one needs during the day and overnight, so we work it out with you at the free assessment. No guesswork, and no pressure to commit there and then.
Do I have to commit long term?
No. Every new client starts with a one-week trial. You choose your carer from a hand-picked shortlist, and if the match isn't right, we'll find a replacement.
Domiciliary, Live-In and Respite Care Across Edinburgh
A local domiciliary care agency
Domiciliary care simply means care in your own home. Our office is on Princes Street and our home carers work across Edinburgh and the Lothians. You deal with the same small, friendly team every time, never a call centre.
Live-in carers in Edinburgh
When someone needs support around the clock, a live-in carer moves in and helps with personal care, housekeeping and companionship. Your loved one keeps their home, their routines and their independence. We'll give you a clear quote after the free assessment.
Respite care in Edinburgh
Caring for someone you love is hard work, and everyone needs a break. Our respite carers step in at home so you can rest, deal with your own commitments or get away for a while. Your loved one stays in familiar surroundings the whole time.
"My brother John and I just want to say a big thank you to you all for the care you gave to our mum over the past few months.
You provide a marvellous service and we are both very grateful for everything you did for our mum."
