Life at Cramond Residence is designed to offer something to suit everyone. Residents can watch the latest blockbusters in a private cinema room, indulge in a spot of pampering in the hairdressing and beauty salon or share a cup of tea and a bite to eat in the café.
They are supported to maintain an active social life and continue with hobbies they enjoy. The Residence offers a wide programme of activities, including musical performances, talks from historians, arts and crafts and visits from the local nursery and primary school and the therapy dog, Toffee.
