Glencairn Care Home

Glencairn is a bespoke private residential home offering resident’s accommodation akin to that found in a small boutique-style hotel. It is located in the prestigious Grange area of Edinburgh and just a short walk to the infamous Meadows.

Glencairn offers a lifestyle choice to residents, promoting and enhancing overall wellbeing within a luxurious and comfortable environment. Maintaining engagement within the community is often a focus for Glencairn, where residents are supported to visit local amenities, meet friends for coffee and attend social functions that Bruntsfield and Morningside and the city centre are well known for.


Alternatively, for those preferring a more discreet lifestyle, the home offers private dining, room service and tranquil garden areas for you to relax and enjoy with friends and loved ones.

  • Accommodation
    Each of the home’s 26 bedrooms is furnished to an exceptionally high standard, with tea/coffee making facilities, fridge, lockable drawer, TV and, should you wish, telephone. The home has a large communal lounge where residents can socialise together as well as a small conservatory and quiet lounge, which residents are welcome to use at any time or for entertaining their family and friends.
  • Catering & Services
    The large open dining room offers residents round the clock restaurant-style dining. All food is prepared by our fully trained chefs who use local produce which is delivered daily. Room service is available should residents prefer with menu choices including specific dietary and allergen requirements. All meals meet nutritional values to support a healthy balanced diet with taste and enjoyment in mind.

  • I live abroad and upon my last visit to Glencairn I was able to see my mother each day for a week and observed how the home is run, meeting many of the staff, too. My mother has dementia and the empathy she receives from the staff and fellow residents is wonderful to see. I feel reassured that she's being treated well and that the care is tailored to her needs. Relative, Glencairn
  • It's never an easy decision to place a relative in a care home but when my mum was diagnosed with dementia and my own health situation required a lengthy recovery to find Glencairn was a relief. I can't praise Glencairn highly enough, the care given to my mum is excellent. The staff are wonderful and caring in every way. Relative, Glencairn
  • Feel Mum who has dementia is in the best possible place for her, the staff are outstandingly good and I feel she is treated with dignity and respect. Relative, Glencairn
