Your local elderly live-in home care experts in Callander and Trossachs National Park

Welcome to Bright Care Callander and Trossachs National Park. Working alongside families and relatives, we provide relationship-focused care for elderly loved ones in the familiar comfort of their own homes.

Our live-in home care and live-in companionship for the elderly is a complete and holistic alternative to residential care. Having someone in the house throughout the day and night to provide care can give reassurance, and peace of mind.

Live-in home care is provided by carefully matched carers who live their lives alongside their clients in their homes who will be on hand to assist with all areas of everyday life. Live-in care is available 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. Care is usually provided by two Bright Carers who work together on a rotational basis. Our Bright Carers are employed by us. We never use agency staff to create a care package.

As experts in providing elderly care, we’re here to listen. Wherever you are in your live-in care journey, we can help talk through options. Call us today.

What our clients say

Absolutely wonderful

“Bright Care have been caring for my parents on a daily basis for the past year now. They have been absolutely wonderful and the level of care they provide is as good as it gets. It is clear that it is more than just a job to the Bright Carers as their attention to detail is a credit to them all. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They have played a vital role in allowing my parents to remain in their own home.”

Sandra Evans

Thank you for providing such a great service

They are friendly, professional and the carers they have sent us over the months have been lovely. They are very adaptable with last minute requests and have made the whole process very easy. Thank you for providing such a great service.”
