Discover the best of care in Edinburgh
Providing the very best of care in Edinburgh, Care UK’s modern, purpose-built care homes offer a wide range of services and facilities in beautiful, welcoming surroundings.
If you’ve not set foot in a care home before – or even if you have, Cairdean House in Colinton, Murrayside in Murrayfield, and Lauder Lodge in Portobello may surprise you.
Our fresh and modern homes boast luxury facilities including their own spacious activity rooms, hair and beauty salons, cafes, libraries and cinemas. Each home’s outdoor spaces have also been specially designed and include relaxing terraces and secure sensory themed gardens for residents to explore.
The homes, owned and managed by award winning provider Care UK, provide a wide range of round-the-clock personalised care to suit different needs, including residential, dementia, nursing, and respite care*. As one of the UK’s most successful care home operators with 128 care homes across England and Scotland, Care UK has over 35 years’ experience of delivering the very best care and support for older people.
Our new purpose-built care homes
Cairdean House has been designed to the latest dementia standards and has nine individual suites, allowing just 10 residents within each to benefit from small scale living, and a private ensuite bedroom. This gives residents an opportunity to become part of a closeknit family and is also a benefit to those living with dementia to develop stronger relationships with staff.
Lauder Lodge has been built over three floors and features a range of lounge and dining areas, spacious activity areas and beautifully decorated private en-suite bedrooms. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy a contemporary café with a terrace, a state-of-the-art cinema room and a hair and beauty salon – perfect for enabling your loved one to enjoy the best care while getting the most out of every day. Outside, you’ll discover our wonderful wrap around garden with incredible views of Arthur’s Seat and out across the Forth to Fife.
At Murrayside, each of its 63 bedrooms are individually styled and have en-suite facilities, a widescreen television and electronically adjustable bed. Rooms on the ground floor open onto our lovely secure gardens which have been designed by specialist landscape architect, Annie Pollock. Rooms on the upper floors also have lovely views and residents there have access to east facing sun terraces with views towards Edinburgh Castle and Arthur’s Seat.
Caring and experienced teams
As one of the UK’s top care home providers, it should come as no surprise that our teams enjoy an award-winning training and induction programme and that our care is built around the latest academic research and knowledge. These high standards are clearly evident in the care we provide, making sure all residents get the most out of every day by having fun, staying safe, and keeping as healthy and active as possible.
Led by nurses, the care provided in our homes ensures we can deliver a personalised approach to allow residents to continue to lead a fulfilling life while receiving the care they need. Most importantly, our staff bring a kind and caring approach, a willingness to go the extra mile and a passion for keeping residents safe, happy, and well cared for.
Trust us to care
At Care UK we’re dedicated to delivering high quality care. In fact, we have the most homes amongst the leading care providers to be awarded the highest quality score from the governance inspectors. Our teams regularly win national awards, and we partner with leading UK research bodies to ensure we’re always innovating – whether in food and dining, lifestyles, or the technology we use – to ensure residents enjoy maximum quality of life.
