At 1st Focus Homecare, we provide personalised home care and live in care services across Edinburgh, helping people continue living safely, comfortably and independently in their own homes.

As care needs change, having the right support can make a significant difference to everyday life. Our compassionate local team can assist with everything from everyday routines and companionship to personal care and more complex support, always with an emphasis on dignity, choice and individual needs.

Care at Home: A Personalised Alternative to Care Homes

Unlike traditional care homes, care at home 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.

Arranging Care Is Simple

1. Talk to Us
Tell Amy about your circumstances and the support you’re looking for.

2. Care Assessment
We’ll discuss your care needs and, where appropriate, arrange an assessment at home.

3. Personalised Care Plan
We’ll create a care package around the individual’s needs, routines and preferences.

4. Care Begins
Once everything is agreed, we’ll arrange your carers and confirm a start date.

Helping You Stay Independent at Home

For many people, the right care does not mean leaving home or having someone there around the clock. Sometimes, a little extra support at the right time can make all the difference.

1st Focus Homecare provides personalised home care services across Edinburgh, helping older people and adults who need additional support to continue living safely, comfortably and independently in their own homes.

Our care is built around the individual. Depending on your needs, we can provide help with personal care, preparing meals, medication, household tasks, shopping, companionship and getting out and about in the local community. Support can range from regular home care visits to more extensive care as circumstances change.

We take time to understand not only what support is required, but also how you want that support to be provided. Our aim is to help you maintain your routines, independence and connection with the people and places that matter to you.

Whether you are arranging care for yourself or looking for additional support for a parent or loved one, our Edinburgh team is here to help you understand the options available.
