We are a family run, local domiciliary care provider offering all of our clients’ calls that last a minimum of one hour at a time. It can be overwhelming, wondering where to start when first considering care for a loved one. We are here to help; here to provide the support needed for loved ones to stay safe at home without losing any personal freedom - leaving family members happy and confident that their loved ones are enjoying the highest standards of care at all times. These can include home help covering all aspects of day-to-day housework, shopping and household duties; and companionship services that can involve everything from accompanying clients on visits or appointments to simple conversation and good company. We are looking for people with anything from 8 to 20 hours to spare each week to join us in our mission to change the face of ageing by providing a standard of care and support that we can be proud of. We are therefore looking for CAREGivers to support our clients in all areas of East Lothian and Midlothian. If you or anyone you know is a caring and compassionate person looking for a fulfilling role working with older people then please get in touch. You will need to be a car driver and looking to work around 8-20 hours each week. We have flexible schedules and provide comprehensive training and on-going support. You do not need to have a background in the care sector, but you do need to be caring and compassionate and be committed to making a difference to our clients. In return you will receive comprehensive training, a competitive rate of pay and immense job satisfaction. Call 0131 273 5252 or email us on enquiries.eastmidlothian@homeinstead.co.uk to get in touch.

🎄✨ The festive season can be joyful, but for someone living with dementia, all the lights, music and busy social plans can feel overwhelming rather than exciting.

Keeping to familiar routines, creating a quiet space to step away from the noise, and focusing on well-loved traditions can bring much-needed reassurance.

At Home Instead East Lothian, we specialise in relationship-led dementia care. That means familiar faces, consistent support, and care built around the person, not the timetable.

If you’re supporting a loved one and need a bit of guidance, we’re here to talk.

Everyday Moments Matter for People with Dementia 💚

It’s not about perfect tasks, it’s about shared moments that feel familiar and comforting. Daily activities like helping set the table, dressing for dinner, or heading out to get the newspaper can support dignity, mood, and memory.

Learn from professionals and family carers how simple routines can reduce anxiety and bring calm:
