A warm, inclusive team that feels like family
At Saining Care, we believe in the profound impact of human connection and compassionate support.
We're not just a care agency in Edinburgh – We're a dedicated team driven by a shared mission of making a real difference to both the lives of individuals and the community as a whole. With an eye for details, an open ear for feedback and a real passion for what we do, our mission is to provide high-level help that helps our clients live full, free and fulfilling lives.
Whether that means helping seniors to feel young again, helping those with disabilities see beyond limitations or simply putting smiles on faces, Saining Care is here to make every person we serve feel loved, valued and supported.
Unwavering Compassion
We approach each person, be they a care recipient, a family member or another caregiver, with the utmost empathy, understanding and genuine kindness. The Saining Care team is committed to building lasting relationships on a foundation of trust, both out of basic human decency and to support the carer recipient.
Respect for Autonomy
We deeply respect the dignity, autonomy and capacity of choice of each individual we care for. To that end, we work collaboratively with their families and other caregivers to understand their preferences, values and cultural background, carefully weighing up how the care plan can be adjusted to accommodate and respect these factors.
Exacting Quality
Saining Care is passionate about delivering the highest standards of care possible, and this commitment extends to every aspect of our service from our recruitment efforts to the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of care plans.
Total Professionalism
The Saining Care team is hand-picked not just for experience and qualifications, but for what we see as a genuine passion for making a difference in the lives of others. You can be confident that your loved one will receive home care that is compassionate and respectful at all times.
Client Empowerment
Saining Care believes in empowering our clients to maintain as much independence and control over their lives as is safely possible. In line with this belief, our home care in Edinburgh is designed to provide on-hand help when it is required, and outside of this to foster a sense of dignity and self-worth.
Open Collaboration
More than simply ‘working alongside', Saining Care endeavours to build strong partnerships with everybody involved in the care recipient's wellbeing. This includes the clients themselves, their families, other caregivers and healthcare professionals, ensuring no stone is left unturned in helping them live life to the fullest.
