This means that if a resident’s care needs change, they can stay at our home and avoid a stressful move, while still continuing to enjoy the activities, facilities and friendships they have built in our home.

Yes Gilmerton Care Home has qualified nurses on site 24 hours a day, ensuring immediate support whenever needed.

It can sometimes be difficult to know when nursing care is the right step for a relative. Some signs to look out for include increasing difficulty with everyday tasks such as washing, dressing, or grooming, as well as changes in long-term health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or dementia. Frequent hospital visits, recent falls, noticeable weight loss, or a reduced appetite can also be indicators that more support may be needed.

Other changes, such as confusion, forgetfulness, challenges with managing medication, or the need for specialised medical treatments and equipment, may also suggest that nursing care could be the best option.

At Gilmerton Care Home, our nursing team can help assess your loved one’s needs and guide you through the next steps. We always encourage open conversations with your relative, involving them in the decision-making process so that the move feels supportive and reassuring.
