Home Care Edinburgh – Support That Feels Like Family
Trusted Home Care in Edinburgh
Elderly care at home Edinburgh – At 1st Focus Homecare, we provide personalised home care in Edinburgh tailored to support independent living for elderly individuals who prefer to stay in the comfort of their own homes.
As people age, new challenges can arise – and our compassionate team is here to assist with everything from daily routines to complex care needs. We are committed to delivering respectful, professional, and reliable care that enhances quality of life.
Care at Home: A Personalised Alternative to Care Homes
Unlike traditional care homes, care at home in Edinburgh offers the reassurance of staying close to family, friends, and familiar surroundings. Our one-to-one approach ensures that each person receives individual attention, tailored care plans, and the dignity they deserve. Whether you or a loved one requires occasional assistance or more intensive support, we offer a flexible alternative to residential care that empowers people to remain in control of their own lives.
As a trusted provider of elderly care at home in Edinburgh, our services include
personal care, companionship, live-in care, and respite care for family members.
This comprehensive support ensures that older adults can maintain a fulfilling lifestyle within their community. In contrast to care homes, where the ratio of carer to resident may limit personal attention, our dedicated carers focus entirely on your needs.
We work in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council and the NHS to provide tailored care packages, including support for individuals transitioning out of hospital. Our aim is to deliver continuity of care and peace of mind during life’s more vulnerable moments.
Social care providers in the city offer a range of domiciliary care services, but 1st Focus Homecare stands out for its commitment to high-quality, compassionate care that puts people first. With our specialist team and wide-reaching services, we ensure you receive reliable, dignified care at home in Edinburgh – helping you or your loved one feel supported, safe, and valued every day.
Understanding Home Care Costs and Support in Edinburgh
For some families, organising home care and support at home can be daunting, not to mention how they will pay for the care their loved one deserves. Local councils provide their care service, but we deliver a premium care at home service in comparison.
At 1st Focus Homecare, we can help you or a family member arrange home care via the local authority. Depending on your needs assessment, you may be eligible for financial support from the local council to cover some or all of the costs involved.
We can advise on direct payments and help you decide whether home care is an affordable alternative to care homes.
We can discuss the costs involved of elderly care at home in Edinburgh and arrange for an assessment of your care needs. The cost of care can, at times, appear high, but we fully understand that some people can manage their own home care. We try to ensure the people using our service remain as independent as possible, and we would never pressure people into paying for more care than they require.
Once we have completed your needs assessment, we can build a home care plan and arrange a carer or personal assistant. If you require emergency care or your family or friends who help require emergency respite care, we can also arrange that.


Caregivers Who Truly Care
At 1st Focus Homecare, we understand how important caregiving is for you in every way possible. We want to assure you that our staff are not just caregivers, but also companions who provide the highest-quality care, making you and your family or loved ones feel confident and secure.
We are extremely selective when recruiting candidates for our local home care staff. 1st Focus Homecare believes a happy, dedicated and motivated workforce creates a positive client experience.
We have a rigorous recruitment process, extensive training and development, and an ongoing assessment and support process for all our care workers, so you know you will be in safe hands. Although we can’t always guarantee the same carer every day, all of our staff are trained to the high standard that you, your family, and loved ones would expect and will definitely meet your care needs.
