Named one of Scotland’s top 10 care homes in 2024, Craighall House is a residential and dementia care home in north Edinburgh with space for just 12 residents.
The home's small size shapes every aspect of daily life. With so few residents, staff get to know each individual extremely well, from daily routines to the details that help each person feel settled. Care plans are built around each individual to support independence wherever possible.
The home is a modern, purpose-built bungalow just off Ferry Road. Everything is on one level, which makes it accessible for residents to move around and navigate the environment. Residents are encouraged to personalise private bedrooms with treasured belongings, and many rooms include en-suite bathrooms.
There are bright lounges and a homely dining room where residents often gather, with seasonal meals freshly prepared by the home’s chefs. Outside, well-kept, secure gardens with abundant seating provide a calm setting for fresh air, gentle walks, or time with visiting family.
Activities run throughout the week, including arts and crafts, gentle exercise, baking groups, music and choir sessions, and outings to local attractions and community events around Edinburgh. Residents may participate as much or as little as preferred, and the home’s place in the local community brings regular visitors and familiar faces.
Families considering care at Craighall House may arrange a visit to view the home and meet the team.

A lovely little nursing home. There is many smiling faces and laughter. They emphasise that they work at the residents home. (Not the other way round). It is a real home for our grand mother. The rooms are sun lit. The patio is south facing and warm. We feel that mum is safe. Her weight and her energy levels get monitored. We got a phone call when mum had a little tumble (once). The carers don't hesitate to call the GP if needed and organise medication very well.

My mother is very comfortable and well cared for at Craighall House. The staff are very attentive caring and welcoming. The size of the care home means that she gets a very personalised level of care, and the staff listens to her and always tries to ensure her needs are met. It gives me a lot of comfort to know that she is safe and in such good hands. Her room is lovely, and it is very handy to have a small 'kitchen' area with a mini fridge, as my mother likes having her coffee maker, and it helps her maintain a feeling of independence. The ensuite shower room is also great. The staff always make visitors feel welcome and are also very helpful when it comes to arranging a taxi for an outing or to attend an appointment. It is fantastic having a Park nearby, for outings, and also a small convenience shop, for shopping trips. I am so grateful to the staff for everything they do to support my mother and for making Craighall House such a friendly and welcoming place.
I’m absolutely delighted with the home which provides excellent care. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and everyone is made to feel at home. My dad is very happy here and that’s so good to see and gives me peace of mind too.
