Nursing Care in Edinburgh 

Those looking for a Nursing Home in Edinburgh are those who are seeking 24-hour care, by our very own team of registered nurses. Along with caring for the elderly, physically disabled and individuals with high dependency health needs, we also offer specialist care to people with illnesses like Huntington’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Motor Neurone Disease.

Prospective residents and their relatives are welcome to come in for a chat with our Home Manager so that they can be provided with advice and guidance, and to ensure that Struan Lodge is the right care home for them. As soon as a resident joins us at our nursing home, we develop a personalised care plan for them that best reflects their individual care needs. This is reviewed on a regular basis so that residents can rest assured that they are receiving the right care for them.

Residential Care in Edinburgh 

Residential care is best suited for people who could be more likely to find it difficult to maintain their home or who might need extra assistance with daily tasks and personal care. It is also the best option for people who might benefit from living among others or are looking for companionship they cannot find with their immediate friends and family members.

Struan Lodge Care Home residents can enjoy home-cooked meals and rest comfortably in the knowledge that all household chores are taken care of while living in a lovely, furnished home with as little or as much support as they require. Our highly skilled care team is available around-the-clock to provide support and care for our residents.

Respite Care in Edinburgh 

At our nursing home we also provide respite care, a short-term care option for individuals who require a break from providing care or who need time to recover after a recent sickness, accident, or hospital procedure.

We recognise that burnout can occasionally affect both caregivers and individuals who need assistance. A period of respite guarantees that care is provided around-the-clock and that residents can take advantage of all the amenities and social opportunities on offer to them. At Struan Lodge Care Home, we are pleased to assist, no matter what.

We provide short-term respite care for anyone who requires it, with a minimum respite stay of 3 weeks.
