Care Homes Owned by City of Edinburgh Council

vaccinations, medical attention, etc. A new manager was appointed in 2024 and the changes she has made to the Care Home are beautiful! The small touches with soft furnishings, plants, pictures, etc. that make it so cosy and homely providing a stimulating environment for all the residents and also a lovely place for our family on our weekly visits. Something that always touches my heart is how ALL the staff are able to use each resident's first names and no matter what they're doing they will always stop and make time to speak with the resident and their family. This alone is pure gold in my opinion! I would highly recommend Royston Court and thank them for the amazing job they do every day.

that were important to her, important to them. For instance, personalising her room, helping her spend a day in bed, when that's what she wanted, and striving to treat her with kindness, respect, and warmth. Any concerns we raised or requests we made, were swiftly addressed and when I couldn't be with her, I knew she was well cared for. At one point in her life, I remember mum saying, 'I just want to be me' and fortunately, there were SO many people in Castlegreen who valued her for being exactly that. I have no way to adequately express my gratitude - she could not have been anywhere better for the final months of her life. Thank you.

it has a very warm atmosphere. They made us feel very welcome, I don't think a lot of people realise just how hard they work and how dedicated they are to their job. All care homes should be like this one which puts the people first we are just so glad that our auntie came to this care home.

do feel at home. The communal area is bright, welcoming and homely and residents usually gather here to take part in the many activities that staff arrange whether that be a movie, bingo, a sing-song, entertainment from the local school or dance group, there was always something going on. The menu is varied and of a good standard.
My mum had her challenges but they were met with respect, care, compassion and support.
The home is only as good as the people who work there and they were all fantastic in equal measure.
The only slight downside is the bedrooms are a wee bit small and no en-suite however a bath/shower was never a bother. I couldn't have asked for any more.

support to us and we can’t thank them enough. What a caring professional team. Thank you.

They treat the residents with dignity and have become like family.
The environment is lovely and although the bedrooms are on the small side, the shared spaces are fantastic. It's not at all "institutional" and there are different areas for the residents to use, including quiet spots, social areas and a large common area for TV, movies or sing songs. The list of social activities is comprehensive with something for everyone.
There is plenty of variety on the menu and it's great to see my dad enjoying his food.
I honestly couldn't ask for more.

after well.

and throughout the sector. We are particularly grateful for the support from those members of staff that have been there throughout mum's care and the stability this provides.

And generally, all staff normally greet me with a genuine smile.

clean, shaven and has his hair cut regularly. He very much enjoys the food provided by the care home's kitchen - particularly puddings! Just recently we had a summer garden party in the grounds of the care home - lots of music, dancing, BBQ and ice cream - the staff had worked really hard to organise the event and it was lovely to see the residents and families out in the sun enjoying themselves and the whole place was buzzing with activity.

They are all so attentive to mum and her needs which gives us such great peace of mind. Her room is like a little hotel room with a lovely en suite and her window overlooks the garden. I can't thank the staff enough - knowing mum is so well looked after is a huge amount of pressure off our shoulders. I want to put my name down for the future!

but can spend time in her own space if she wished. All staff have been very caring and excellent at updating us and lovely to see mum's photo on the Facebook page at times.

He always looks smart and well cared for. The staff are always aware of what is happening in the area and attend to residents' needs promptly. He is unable to verbally express his needs but the staff pick up on signs and seems to be able to assess and anticipate his needs. It has been lovely to see him out in the garden with the other residents enjoying any good weather. He has always been an active, outdoors person so they take him walking around the grounds when possible.

extremely good.
My father is comfortable, well-fed and very well looked after, and I would definitely recommend Inch View.
Today is my father's birthday, and they have done him a little birthday party with cake and a gift, which is lovely.
They have lots of activities and days out to keep the residents busy.
He hasn’t had many days out yet because of Covid and winter, but they really do have the resident's best interest at heart, and as I said, I do highly recommend this facility.

activities staff are making a special effort to get residents involved and it’s great to see pictures on Facebook.
The new manager has weekly Zoom calls which I find very informative.
