Residential care at Gilmerton Care Home in Moredun is designed for those who no longer wish to live alone or who need a little extra help with day-to-day life. Our caring team is here to provide just the right level of support, while encouraging independence, hobbies, and routines that matter most to each resident.
Residential care provides a safe and supportive living environment, where everyday assistance with tasks such as dressing, mobility, meals, or housekeeping is available whenever needed. Unlike nursing care, it doesn’t focus on medical needs but instead on helping residents live comfortably and independently with a little added support.
It’s also about belonging. By moving into residential care, residents join a warm, welcoming community where there’s always a friendly face, a chat over tea, or an activity to enjoy. This sense of companionship helps reduce isolation while creating a true feeling of home.
At Gilmerton Care Home, we’re proud to offer more than just care — we provide a safe, homely environment where residents can flourish. Our dedicated team assists with daily tasks, giving residents the freedom to focus on what brings them joy, whether that’s joining in activities, relaxing in our private gardens, or sharing mealtimes with friends.
