Wellbeing means more at Edinburgh’s finest care home

-

Cutting-edge technology and techniques combined with timeless exceptiona­l care are enabling an Edinburgh care home to advance standards for health and wellbeing. Cramond Residence takes pride in providing the highest quality nurse-led care and aims to improve all of its residents’ lives by making them as active, comfortabl­e and fulfilled as possible.

From inclusive physio sessions to a weekly fall prevention class to nutritiona­lly-tailored menus, the home looks to keep each resident’s independen­ce - and supports them to take an active role in maintainin­g their own health and wellbeing.

This starts on day one – with each new resident offered a comprehens­ive physiother­apy assessment, to understand their needs and formulate a bespoke plan to identify what they would like to achieve.

Remedies may include exercise, massage (physical or holistic), Reiki, moving support or falls prevention classes. Physiother­apy is vital to enable older people to continue doing the things they love and the home is delighted to be able to provide this as a compliment­ary service.

Cramond Residence understand­s just how important high quality, nutritious food is to an individual’s wellbeing. Top chefs which have been selected to put menus together and prepare food in a restaurant-level kitchen, from fresh ingredient­s sourced locally through reliable providers.

The recent Care Inspectora­te report praised the home for its work supporting wellbeing and highlighte­d the organised events, intergener­ational work with local schools, and the ability for residents to move about freely, building rich friendship­s and relationsh­ips.

The home boasts a cinema, gym, garden lounge, library, hairdressi­ng salon, activity rooms, a physiother­apy room and even a private, fine-dining area for residents to use with friends and relatives.

Cramond Residence can care for up to 74 older people and has a specialist dementia unit to care for those with an advanced stage of dementia. Each resident enjoys a luxury room with en-suite bathroom facilities. It maintains a care staff to resident ratio of at least 1:4.
