Dedicated Live-in Care in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a city of extraordinary character — from the Georgian elegance of the New Town and the historic closes of the Old Town to the coastal calm of Cramond and the village atmosphere of Colinton. When care needs change, the desire to remain in this remarkable city, in your own home, is entirely understandable. Live-in care makes it possible.

At My Health Care Support, we provide dedicated live-in care across Edinburgh, placing a carefully matched carer in your home to offer continuous, one-to-one support. This is care shaped by the individual — their routines, their preferences, and the life they have built in Scotland's capital.

We work within Scotland's care standards and maintain relationships with the City of Edinburgh Council, NHS Lothian, and Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership to ensure that live-in care is coordinated, accountable, and locally informed.

Edinburgh's unique geography — a city centre defined by hills, cobbled streets, and older tenement buildings — can present practical challenges for individuals with mobility needs. A live-in carer provides support within the home environment itself, reducing the risks associated with navigating the city's more demanding terrain alone.

For families in Morningside, Stockbridge, Marchmont, or Barnton, live-in care preserves the local connections that define daily life — the familiar GP, the local shops, the neighbours who wave from across the street. It also offers reassurance to family members who may live elsewhere in Scotland or beyond, knowing that a trusted professional is present at all times.

Edinburgh's strong sense of community and its distinctive neighbourhoods mean that keeping someone at home is not merely convenient — it is often the most dignified and fulfilling option available.

We take carer matching seriously, looking beyond clinical needs to personality, interests, cultural background, and daily preferences. Our Edinburgh team manages the matching process locally and ensures that all care is delivered in line with the Care Inspectorate's standards and Scotland's Health and Social Care Standards.

Whether the need is immediate — perhaps following a discharge from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh or Western General Hospital — or planned, our team is ready to guide you through the process with transparency and care.

An initial enquiry carries no obligation. We welcome conversations with families and professionals across Edinburgh who want to understand what live-in care involves, what it costs, and whether it is the right fit for their situation.
