Home Instead East Fife

09/10/2025

Euan had the massive privilege to head down south at the start of the week to celebrate 20 years of Home Instead in the Uk with our CEO, other owners and the head office team

20 years ago, we introduced a new kind of care for older people: relationship-led, personalised, and rooted in dignity.

Many said it wouldn’t work. One-hour visits? Matching Care Professionals with clients? Franchising a model that challenged the status quo? “That model just won’t work,” they said.

Well, everyday Home Instead continues to prove we can do that and we are.

Today, Home Instead is the market leader and the brand of choice in home care. Together with our 297 franchise owners, we’ve:

💚 Scaled to 264 offices across all four nations

💚 Delivered over 72 million care visits

💚 Supported more than 200,000 clients

💚 Employed over 100,000 Care Professionals

💚 Invoiced over 107 million hours of care

Along the way, we’ve picked up some incredible recognition, from the Queen’s Award for Innovation to the Princess Royal Training Awards and even ranked third in the Financial Times Best Employers list (the only health or social care company in the top 10).

Here’s to the next 20 years 💚

Today is National Podiatry Day!

As we get older, our feet carry years of wear and tear, from hardworking on your feet all day jobs.. to all those dancing nights when we were younger.

As you get older making the proper podiatry care is essential. Regular foot checks can prevent pain, falls, infections, and mobility issues, helping you stay active and independent.

🦶 Don’t overlook foot health, and ensure you are being regurarly checked, it’s the foundation for a better quality of life at any age!

We often take our clients to appointments as our hour visits allow us the time to do so.

As the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, many older people start to feel the effects from chilly homes to feelings of isolation. ❄️

No matter the time of the year and even if the person has a support network, a lot of the older generation can still feel intense loneliness and miss the life they once had, the darker nights tend to heighten this for people.

This season we want to ensure that our care professionals can bring a bit of warmth and light into the lives of those who once did the same for so many others.

If you’re concerned about an elderly loved one or think they could benefit from extra support at home, whether that be personal care, assistance with medication, meal preparation, a trip to the shops, a hair appointment, or even just a chat with a cuppa looking out at their garden.. our minimum one hour visits are tailored to each persons individual needs and wants and our team are here to help.

Contact us today on 01592804700 to discuss further and schedule a consultation to take the next steps.

If you are a care professional with us you will have been shown this video during your training and the first few seconds will have you feeling that same feeling you did the first time you watched this and know what the video is about.

This is the reality for so many families across the East Fife and the rest of the world at the moment. Every. Single. Day.

Our clients AND their families are what matter to us. It’s everyone involved in the day to day assistance of our clients and their wellbeing.

If this resonates with yourself, give us a call today to discuss how we can help and organise a consultation to see what the next steps can be 🥰

"Unsupported, under-appreciated, under pressure." These are the words we hear from 88% of UK family carers neglecting their own health as they shoulder the c...

Yesterday we had a visit from a previous clients family member who wanted to come thank us for everything the team had done for their mother. For them to come in personally, we appreciated it so much.

We don’t do the jobs we do to get appreciation. We do the jobs we do because we genuinely care, and the relationships we build up during our minimum one hour visits shine through as time goes on.

Thank you for choosing Home Instead East Fife 💚

We had two celebrations this week with both Sam and one of our care professionals both celebrating their three year anniversary with Home Instead.

Today, on World Alzheimer’s Day, we come together to raise awareness and show support for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. 💜

Alzheimer’s is not just about memory loss, it’s about families, relationships, and the strength of communities.

Today is a reminder to:
• Spread understanding and compassion
• Support those affected and their caregivers
• Advocate for more research and progress

Every act of kindness, every conversation, and every effort to raise awareness helps build a world with more hope and less stigma. 💜

Together, we can make a difference.
