Lottie's guide to care in Edinburgh

  • Overview

Welcome to Edinburgh

Edinburgh has some of the country’s best-rated care homes, with many of these rated ‘Excellent’ or ‘Very Good’ by the Care Inspectorate (the two highest ratings). These homes can support a range of care needs, including respectful personal care (such as assistance with getting dressed and using the bathroom) and specialist support for people living with a condition that requires medical care, for example, Struan Lodge and Murrayside.

Homes like The Manor have jam-packed activity programmes that include painting, gardening, music sessions, and quizzes. Our favourite facilities in these homes are idyllic garden spaces, libraries, cosy communal lounges, and areas dedicated to peace and quiet.

Convenient public transport options, including the Edinburgh Tram system and the bus network operated by Lothian Buses, make it easy for older adults to travel around the city and access tranquil green spaces like Holyrood Park and the Royal Botanic Garden. The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Western General Hospital provide services throughout the city, with specialist care often tailored to older adults.

If you’re open to care elsewhere, you can also find top-rated care homes in Glasgow through Lottie.
