Funding and regulation in Scotland
Care providers in Scotland are regulated by the Care Inspectorate, which inspects services against national quality and safety standards. Funding is arranged through your local council's social work department. Scotland provides free personal and nursing care to those who are assessed as needing it, regardless of income — a different system from means-tested funding in England.
The above are a few among other care services we offer at affordable prices. All care provided is of high-quality, regardless of the price.
