Private care in Edinburgh provides consistent, affordable care in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
Unlike traditional care setups, with private care, the power rests with the client. The paradigm shifts from accepting whoever agencies allocate to actively choosing a carer apt for your requirements. At PrimeCarers, we believe the foremost step in establishing a sustainable caregiving relationship is ensuring both parties are compatible and comfortable working together.
We understand the need for you to trust the person who's going to take care of your loved ones, which is why we never impose any hard decisions. Customers always have the final say on who enters their homes and lives. It's about maintaining your sense of safety and familiar comfort, and we're here to provide that peace of mind.
The cost of private care varies, with key determinants being the nature and intensity of service needed. However, it's generally regarded as a more cost-effective solution than agency care. PrimeCarers charges a 12.5% fee for live-in care and between 15 to 20% for hourly attended care.
On the contrary, agencies usually deduct a 30-50% fee, making private care a significantly economical alternative. For detailed information, check out the cost of home care with PrimeCarers.
Home care provides an opportunity for those in need to continue living their lives, maintaining their routines, and claim a stake at independence, all in the much-loved familiarity of their homes. This continuity plays a huge role in enhancing their mental and emotional well-being, proving fundamental in the recovery and care process.
Utilising a fitting algorithm, we at PrimeCarers match clients with carers based on over 80 factors, covering a spectrum of needs, preferences, and personalities. Our comprehensive matching process ensures a comfortable caregiving relationship, creating an environment conducive to care and mutual respect.

Private care is an excellent solution for couples who require assistance. At an average of £1,218 per week, you can ensure that both your parents receive the dedicated attention they need within their own home.

Private care isn’t restricted to just the house. Our carers go the extra mile to ensure that your loved ones experience all that Edinburgh has to offer. Edinburgh's compelling attractions such as the Royal Botanic Garden, National Museum of Scotland, Holyrood Park, and Edinburgh Castle are all popular among the elderly and disabled. Visit to these places can contribute significantly to your loved ones' quality of life.
With agency care, one often has to cope with changes in caregivers due to shifting schedules and high employee turnover. This lack of continuity can create anxiety and affect the level of care received by the client. Lack of flexibility in executing the care plan is another issue that clients often face with agency care.
Contrarily, private care guarantees consistency. There are no unexpected changes or surprises, something not promised by agency care. Private care ensures personalised attention and establishes a firm relationship, an aspect often missing with agency care.
Private care benefits go beyond mere medical assistance. It's a comforting presence, a friendship, a chance to live life fully, even in times of vulnerability. It’s about receiving care on your terms with someone you trust in a place you love. And PrimeCarers is privileged to offer this service, offering our guidance to ensure that you find the ideal live-in care in Edinburgh. For a broader understanding, our complete guide to private carers is a valuable resource.
In conclusion, by opting for private care, you are not merely availing services, but unlocking a multitude of advantages. PrimeCarers is here to help you open that door to superior, personalised, in-home care.
