Our story
Putting expertise, dignity and compassion first
OakNest Care Ltd was founded on a simple principle: home care should never be one-size-fits-all. Families caring for elderly parents, or for someone living with dementia, frailty or a complex mental health condition, deserve more than standard care support — they deserve registered nursing expertise.
As a registered psychiatric nurse registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council, I bring a specialist understanding of cognitive health, emotional wellbeing, behavioural change and clinical safety into every home I visit.
OakNest Care exists to give families across West Lothian and Edinburgh a warm, highly skilled alternative to large, impersonal agencies — where the person who assesses your needs is the same person who turns up each week.
