Eidyn Care provides palliative and end-of-life care at home across Edinburgh, Fife, Kinross and Perth — winner of the Scottish Care Palliative and End of Life Award. Flexible visits through to 24/7 and live-in care, coordinated with GPs, district nurses and hospice teams, arranged quickly when time is short.
What’s included
Every package is built around a personal plan agreed with you and your family — flexible visits from one hour through to full 24/7 support, delivered by a small, consistent team of SSSC-registered carers.
Personal care with dignity — washing, dressing, continence and comfort care delivered gently, at the person’s pace
Symptom-aware support — carers who monitor comfort and escalate promptly to district nurses and GPs
Meaningful engagement — conversation, music, photographs, walks and activities that connect to who the person is
24/7 and live-in care — round-the-clock presence in the final weeks and days, if that’s what the family wants
Coordination — we work as one team with NHS, hospice and Marie Curie services already involved
Support for the family — practical help, honest communication, and care for the carers too
Who it’s for
Palliative care isn’t only for the last days of life. It’s for anyone living with a life-limiting illness who wants comfort, symptom management and quality of life — sometimes for months or years. End-of-life care is the final chapter of that: focused, intensive support in the last weeks and days.
Families often call us at short notice — after a hospital discharge, or when a hospice-at-home team needs more hands. We’re used to moving quickly. Care can usually be arranged in days, not weeks, and stepped up or down as things change.
Our team won the Scottish Care Palliative and End of Life Award for this work. What that means in practice: carers who are calm and unhurried, who know what to watch for, and who understand that they are guests in the most important room in the house.

How it works
Speak to our care team — no obligation, no pressure. We’ll listen and answer your questions honestly.
We visit at home, meet the family, and build a personal plan around routines, preferences and outcomes.
You meet your carers before care starts. We review the plan regularly and adjust as needs change.
Quickly — we understand that time matters. Following a phone call and assessment, care can often begin within days. Tell us the situation honestly and we’ll tell you honestly what we can do.
Yes, routinely. We coordinate with GPs, district nurses, hospice-at-home and Marie Curie teams so the family deals with one joined-up plan, not competing rotas.
Yes. Waking nights, sleepovers and full 24/7 live-in care are all available across Edinburgh, Fife, Kinross and Perth — often the difference that allows someone to stay at home.
Free Personal Care applies to assessed personal care needs at any age in Scotland, and fast-track funding routes exist for end-of-life situations. We’ll help you understand what applies — see our costs and funding guide.
Regular honest updates, practical help around the person’s care, and respite so family members can sleep, work or simply take a breath. We look after the carers as well as the cared-for.
A friendly, no-obligation conversation with our care team. We’ll help you work out what support is right — even if that isn’t us.
