Care Homes Owned by Care UK in City of Edinburgh

Our mother has been a resident at Murrayside Care Home for two years and we cannot recommend the Care Home highly enough.The staff are highly trained, friendly, kind and efficient taking care of all the resident's with empathy and understanding. There are many carefully planned activities to cover a whole range of interests as well as accommodating for each individual's needs. My mother and the whole family feel so "at home" at Murrayside. If you are considering a Care Home, Murrayside is from our experience simply the best!

I would recommend Murrayside because of the individuals who work to make it so special with genuine care and respect.

I would certainly recommend anyone looking for a care home to take a look at Cairdean House Colinton.

My mum has dementia and we organised a stay at Cairdean for two weeks respite. It is such a difficult thing to do but Leona and the staff made me feel like mum would be in safe hands and I had nothing to worry about. That was indeed the case and going forward I have absolutely no worries about booking her in to stay again. Everyone was so lovely and she really enjoyed the daily activities. Although she can't remember being there, whenever I remind her about it she has a happy feeling so I can't ask for more than that!

Overall Murrayside offers excellent care and has fantastic facilities.

My auntie loves Lauder Lodge and thoroughly enjoys her time there. You can see from their social media pages that all the residents are happy and engaged. I searched many care homes before choosing this one and I'm so glad I made the decision! Thanks everyone!

Mum has been a resident at Lauder Lodge for almost 2 years. In that time she has been treated with the utmost respect and care and mum would consider her carers as friends. The care home is maintained to a high standard with lovely adjoining gardens where activities are regularly arranged. mum is encouraged to keep mobile by taking part in keep fit sessions and to socialise with other residents in the various activities that take place. Staff exude an atmosphere of calmness and nothing is ever to much trouble.

The staff are all very friendly.

As we found, after my sister suffered a stroke, choosing a care home is a challenging task, with many perspectives to be considered. For the loved one, there is apprehension about what lies ahead, given such a major change from living in their own home or moving from hospital. Among other things, they will be looking for a welcoming, homely, and friendly atmosphere as well as comfortable accommodation, food choices, and high levels of hygiene. After visits to several care homes, we found that Cairdean ticked all our boxes. Care is of a high standard, nursing and caring staff are capable and friendly, and the range of activities, which my sister can access, is impressive and fulfilling. The café is well stocked and spacious and welcoming for visitors, and the numerous open spaces, internal and external, give helpful variety. Our initial positive impression from the first point of contact with Leona, has been fully confirmed in the 3 years my sister has so far spent in Cairdean.

My Mum has been a resident at Lauder Lodge for over 12 months and we have experienced illnesses and increasing frailties. Throughout I have found Lauder Lodge facilities, care, food, activities, management and staff to be excellent. I want to thank Staff for their care, empathy and support.

Since my mother moved into Murrayside Care Home a couple of years ago she continues to enjoy her life. With plenty of activities and social opportunities she is kept busy. Her en-suite room is comfortable and should she need assistance, help is just a buzzer away. The staff are always friendly and helpful with medical help available 24 hours a day. Overall I would recommend the multi award winning Murrayside Care Home to anybody as a great place to care for the elderly.

I have seen a lot of care homes over the years assessing appropriate care for friends and feel this is the best i have seen. this entails on entering the home the atmosphere is pleasent, warm and nicely decorated which means a lot. on entering the scent in the home is pleasant. the receptionist have all been very helpful and making people relax and when show rounds are done they make you feel welcome. the cafe on the 2 flooor is always made available to friends ad family with great choice of food and drinks.

Great home to be in. Everyone is wonderful.

We visited a few care homes and this was by far the best

I am very satisfied with everything. No complaints.

My Dad moved into Cairdean just over a month ago. It was a huge decision for our family and the prospect of finding somewhere for Dad was intimidating to begin with. Due to a change in family circumstances we needed to find a place quickly. We approached Cairdean initially due to geography and reviews. My husband and I were able to quickly arrange a visit and were very impressed right from the start. The staff member who showed us round was excellent. We had a follow up call from the customer relations manager and were able to bring Dad for a visit very quickly after our visit. We were treated with the utmost courtesy and respect and felt our needs were understood and individualised. Dad moved into Cairdean 3 days later. The moving in went extremely smoothly and we couldn't have wished for better. Dad is settling in well and there is regular ongoing communication and we really cannot commend the staff highly enough. We feel that Cairdean cares about our family as a whole.

Overall, we are grateful and impressed with care given in the Scott unit, especially during her illness last year.

When our aunt's condition and health deteriorated we discussed different options. One was for home carers on a daily basis to assist her. She did not feel comfortable with that. The thought of strangers attending was not a solution for her. A decision was agreed that we look into care facilities which she would feel more "at home" with. The first visit was to Cairdean House. After visiting the others my aunt said "we should have just stopped at Cairdean House as it felt like home". From our initial meeting with the customer relations manager, Leona, it just felt right. My aunt quickly settled in and has not expressed any doubts. Her health and wellbeing have also improved. From our perspective we feel that as my aunt has 24 hour care and excellent facilities we have less concerns about how safe she is. Cairdean House feels like her home and not just another care facility. We have no hesitation in recommending Cairdean House to other families who want what is best for their relative.

My friend has been a resident for many years now, the staff are so considerate towards his needs, who ch are many due to his condition, but they treat him with respect on a daily basis. He always knew he wanted to stay here and he loves everything about it.

I cannot speak highly enough of this care home. From the very first visit to then bringing my grandma, it was clear that the staff genuinely care about the residents and go above and beyond to create a safe, welcoming, and homely environment. The team are not only highly professional but also incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. It's reassuring to see such genuine compassion in everything they do especially for my grandma. There are plenty of activities and social opportunities for everyone and my gran absolutely loves it. The communication is excellent, and nothing ever seems like too much trouble for the staff. Choosing a care home is never easy, but this place has been an absolute blessing for me, my family & definitely for my grandma Knowing our loved one is safe, comfortable.
