The best home carers in Aberdeen
14 home carers are based within about 45 minutes of Aberdeen. This page sets out how to choose between them, what they charge and what we check before any carer appears.
Chosen by PrimeCarers from carers’ profiles and client reviews · Updated October 2026
How these carers were chosen
1
What clients said
Rating and number of reviews come first. Reviews come from clients who booked through PrimeCarers, screened before they appear and never edited; references carers have added from past clients are not verified.
2
Their record with us
How reliably they have worked through PrimeCarers, how long they have been caring, and how many hours of care they have given.
3
A profile worth reading
A clear portrait and enough written about their work to judge them by. The words under each name are the carer’s, and we have only shortened them.

Charlene L.Based in Aberdeen · 1 year caring“I believe every family I work with teaches me something, and I take that feedback to heart, using it to keep improving the way I care for people. Based in Aberdeen, I'm still early in my professional caring career with a few year's experience, but I've already supported people through a wide range of conditions, from Parkinson's disease and stroke to dementia, anxiety and depression, as well as those who are bedbound or recovering from surgery.”£23.50 an hour1
Chayuwa Alke-Bulan L.Based in Aberdeen · 10 years caring“My week can look quite different from one day to the next. I offer hourly visits, overnight stays and longer live-in placements around Aberdeen, and I find I enjoy each in its own way, whether that is a few focused hours helping someone through their morning routine or the steadier rhythm of being there through the night and into the next day.”£20 an hour1
Gladys Ngozi M.Based in Aberdeen · 22 years caring“My working week in Aberdeen is built around hourly visits, overnight stays and live-in care, and it is the steady, ongoing relationships I enjoy most, getting to know someone's routine well enough that my presence feels calm rather than clinical. Over 22 years I have supported people with a huge range of needs, from dementia and Parkinson's to stroke recovery, mobility loss and mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.”£19.20 an hourProfile →
Sandra F.Based in Aberdeen · 2 years caring · Drives“I became a carer after I had looked after my father, after he passed away I decided to carry on and support with people and there day to day needs. What I love about being a carer is the feeling after a day work, you know you habe done a good thing and helped someone in need. Have experience in parkinsons, lewy body dementia I enjoy cooking healthy meals. Personal care, medication Comfortable with pets and smokers Enjoy being outside and going for walks”£20 an hourProfile →
Gbenga O.Based in Aberdeen City · 9 years caring“Clients and colleagues tend to describe me the same way: steady, attentive and someone they can rely on when things get difficult. That reputation matters to me more than anything else. I have spent nine years in care, including time at a disability care home in Aberdeen City, and I have trained properly in medication, epilepsy and manual handling so I can put that steadiness to good use, not just talk about it.”£20 an hourProfile →
Fatima Zahrae M.Based in Aberdeen City · 2 years caring“Music and dancing have always been part of who I am, and I like to bring that same warmth into my work, whether that means putting a favourite song on or simply having a laugh together. Before moving into home care, I spent two years working in a school childcare setting, learning just how much patience and consistency matter when someone is relying on you, and I carried that steady approach into a hospital assistant role.”£18.80 an hourProfile →
How to choose
How to choose between home carers in Aberdeen
The carers above have the strongest records near Aberdeen, but the right one for your family depends on the visits you need, so start from those.
- 1
Write down the visits you need
Half an hourWhat time of day, how long each visit, and what has to happen in it: getting up and washed, tablets, a meal, a walk to the shops. Add anything that has gone wrong before. This becomes your first message to every carer. - 2
Shortlist two or three carers near Aberdeen
FreeFor visits, a short journey matters, because the early and late calls are the ones a long drive puts at risk. Look at where each carer is based, then read their reviews for specific things they did. - 3
Talk to each one
This weekA video call or a visit of twenty minutes is enough. Use the questions below, and let your relative meet them if they can, because how the two of them get on matters as much as experience. - 4
Start with a trial fortnight
Weeks 1 and 2Agree the visit times, the rate and how you will hear from the carer after each visit. The booking, the agreement between you and the carer, and payments are all set up on PrimeCarers.

Questions
Questions families in Aberdeen ask about choosing a home carer
By what their clients said first, then by their record. We start from every carer who offers visits and is based within about 45 minutes of Aberdeen, and keep those with a studio portrait and a profile that says enough about them to be useful. They are ordered by their client rating and how many reviews they have, then by whether a client wrote a review we can quote, then by their record with PrimeCarers, their years of experience and the care they have given through us. None of the carers profiled here has a client review yet, which usually means they are newer to PrimeCarers rather than less able.
Yes. Before a carer appears on PrimeCarers they have passed an enhanced DBS check, an identity check and a right-to-work check, and recorded an online interview. That DBS must have been issued within the last 2 years, and it has to be renewed every 2 years. Their skills, qualifications and training are for you to check with them. How we check carers sets out each step.
Yes, and it is worth doing. Message the carers you like through PrimeCarers with the visits you need and anything that has been difficult, then arrange a video call or a visit. Talking to a carer is free and nothing is booked until you say so. Most families speak to two or three carers before choosing.
All 6 carers on this page list dementia on their profile. A tick on a profile is the carer's own description, so ask each one about the people with dementia they have cared for and what they found hardest. Dementia care at home covers what good support looks like at each stage.
Yes. Between them the carers on this page speak Afrikaans, Arabic, French and Portuguese as well as English, and the search can filter by language. For someone whose first language has come back to them with age or dementia, a carer who shares it can make visits much easier.
Then you choose another, and the same search shows who else is available. For visits, notice under the contract is 48 hours, and PrimeCarers makes no charge to stop or change carer. It helps to agree at the start that the first couple of weeks are a trial for both of you. Our team can help you find someone else in the meantime.
Some can, and their profile says so. Live-in carers travel much further for a placement than visiting carers do, so the best live-in carers in Aberdeen is a separate page, drawn from a wider area.
