Why choose home care from The Good Care Group?
The Good Care Group is one of the only live-in care providers awarded with an ‘Excellent’ rating by the CI, and we’re exceptionally proud to be keeping as many people as possible living in their own homes whilst receiving remarkable care. We believe there isn’t anywhere better than the comfort of your own home, which is why we’re dedicated to providing the very best home care in Edinburgh.
In-house carer training
All of our carers complete a training programme developed by in-house clinicians before being assigned to a placement. Plus, they’ll receive additional enhanced training for complex care needs.
Fully managed service
We are not a care agency. We directly employ, train, and supervise all of our carers. That means you’ll receive consistent, reliable support, from carers we know and trust.
Dementia care experts
Our in-house experts, including Clinical Lead Sabah Shah and Dementia Champion Nichola Proctor, support our care teams to deliver compassionate dementia care at every stage of the condition.
Award-winning care
We’ve won more awards than any other home care provider for our service, training and culture. Including a Home Care Award, and a National Dementia Care Award.
Our home care services in Edinburgh
Better than a care agency in Edinburgh
Unlike care agencies in Edinburgh, we directly employ and train all of our carers ourselves, which means we are able to cover your regular carer on the rare occasion they should be absent, and provide them all with high-quality training. We are also able to take care of their paperwork, Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) checks and provide them with company benefits – something which they would have to do themselves if they were self-employed by a care agency.
Private care in Edinburgh
Choosing private care in Edinburgh from The Good Care Group means that you can create your future around your wants and needs, instead of having choices prescribed to you. Your care plan will be crafted carefully around your preferences, including any medical or health requirements, but also your social requirements and wellbeing, too. Taking a holistic approach to clients’ care plans is something that we pride ourselves on.
Our professional and friendly carers are trained to deliver person-centred care in a discreet manner, and essentially deliver support in a way that is meaningful to you. So, whether that’s helping you to get up and dressed in the morning or assisting you to attend a weekly club with friends, we’ll be there in whatever way you need.
Specialist dementia care in Edinburgh
Receiving dementia care from us allows you or your loved one to have a personalised care plan. This covers all your medical requirements, symptoms and personal preferences in a familiar environment.
Whether you or a loved one have just been diagnosed with vascular dementia and are coming to terms with what this will mean for all of you, or if your loved one has advanced Alzheimer’s and needs daily assistance with personal care, our Edinburgh team can provide you with the reassurance that you and your loved ones need to continue living in your own home.
The Good Care Group are specialists in dementia home care, which is overseen by our resident Consultant Admiral Nurse, Jane Pritchard. As well as having Jane’s guidance and expertise, all of our carers receive specialist dementia training that takes them through the different types of dementia, how symptoms may present and ways in which to care for individuals living with the condition.
Domiciliary care in Edinburgh
Domiciliary care, often the traditional term used to describe care at home, is an ideal way to continue living life on your terms with additional help from a care team. Our professional domiciliary carers can help with a variety of tasks in and around your home – keeping on top of the housework, assisting you to prepare your favourite meals and helping you look after your pet companions, to helping you wash your hair, getting dressed and giving you gentle reminders to take medication.
Our carers in Edinburgh can also assist with running errands, taking you to the local supermarket and accompanying you to appointments, giving you and your loved ones the added reassurance that you’ll always have the right type of support for you.
Short-term respite care in Edinburgh
The need for care can arise at any given time – perhaps after a hospital admission and you need extra support at home during your recovery, or if you care for a loved one and need to take an unexpected leave of absence. With respite care from our experienced team in Edinburgh, we can step in and provide high-quality care on a short-term basis so that you’re not left without vital assistance when you need it most.
Respite care in Edinburgh can be delivered in a way that suits you and your care requirements via either hourly care or live-in care on a pre-planned basis. That way, if you’re a caregiver for a loved one, our professional carers can fill in for you while you take a few hours off each week and recharge your batteries or even for several weeks if you decide to take a longer break from your care duties.
Compassionate and fully-trained carers in Edinburgh
Our carers in Edinburgh meet with their manager on a regular basis and have access to assistance 24 hours a day. We have a stringent and rigorous recruitment process; only 2% of our applicants successfully pass and join our team as fully qualified carers. This helps ensure the care you receive is delivered by only the very best carers in Edinburgh.
Supporting both our clients and carers is extremely important to us. All of our carers in Edinburgh have regular catch-ups with their dedicated care manager, with assistance on hand 24 hours a day should either of you require it.
