Belleville Lodge offers residential, nursing and dementia care in south Edinburgh, combining a traditional stone villa with a modern extension, and with space for up to 29 residents, including couples who wish to live together.
Because nursing care is available alongside residential care, residents can usually stay in familiar surroundings, with people they know, if their health needs change. Care is planned around each individual’s routines and preferences, whether support is needed with daily living, memory care, or companionship.

The home has 25 single rooms and two joint occupancy rooms, many with en-suite facilities, and residents are encouraged to bring photographs and personal belongings. Bright lounges and dining rooms are the centre of daily life, with meals freshly cooked on site from locally sourced ingredients, and chefs planning menus to suit residents’ preferences.
A secure private garden offers somewhere peaceful to sit or walk in the heart of the city. Activities include arts and crafts, baking groups, music and sing-alongs, reminiscence sessions and trips out around Edinburgh, and the home has links with local schools, churches and charities.

I moved my mother to Belleville Lodge at the end of April from an end of life care ward in a community hospital. My mother was not thriving in the hospital and she was not being taken out of her room to be around other people. She was struggling with eating and drinking. From the day she arrived at Belleville Lodge she picked up. She was happy, taking an interest in the staff and was being fed so that she was able to enjoy meals again. The care and support the staff offered to both my mother and I were far beyond expectations. Within days they had been able to bring my mother to the lounge so she could be around other residents. When lucid she chatted and joked with staff. Sadly she was at the end of her life and only lived a couple of weeks at the nursing home. However, during that time I feel she regained her dignity and enjoyment of life. This is entirely due to the care and expertise of the staff there. This experience means so much to me. I'm beyond grateful.
My mum has been in Belleville for nearly 3 years now. She is well cared for and the staff make sure that she feels well cared for. Her personal demands are catered for- the way she wants her hair brushed, what colour she wants to wear, what she does and doesn't want to eat- things that are so...
As a family, we know that this is the perfect place for mum.

caring atmosphere created by all the staff team .Mum has formed good relationships with many of the team all of whom seem to genuinely care for their residents . Staff team are great at keeping me informed of any health issues and the 24-hour nursing care as well as access to the local GP and Advanced Practitioner Nurse is very reassuring. Mums room is lovely and she has been able to bring many of her own small pieces of furniture/pictures etc... the home and garden are well maintained and the garden especially is a great place to spend time outside . From the very first visit i have to say that I have felt very supported by the Manager and no request has been a problem . Thank you Belleville lodge for making a difficult transition so much easier !
The home is kept spotlessly clean and has been redecorated recently which has provided a more modern touch. More...
The activities co-ordinators do a very good job in providing things to do in the home and arranging visits outside where possible.
Very happy with Bellville Lodge. The standard for everything is very high. The staff are brilliant and try their best include my mum in all of the activities. Management is great and nothing is too much trouble. I am happy in the knowledge that my mum is being well cared for and I don't need to...
Very happy with Bellville Lodge. The standard for everything is very high. The staff are brilliant and try their best include my mum in all of the activities. Management is great and nothing is too much trouble. I am happy in the knowledge that my mum is being well cared for and I don't need to worry about anything. I am unable to comment on food and drink as mum has her own tube feed, but I am sure this will be in keeping with the high standards provided for everything else.
Mum loves looking out into both the front and rear gardens, which are beautiful and well-kept. On a nice afternoon,...
The first time I visited Belleville Lodge, both my cousin and I felt like we were being embraced in a warm cuddle. That feeling has never diminished.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review, we are delighted your mum is enjoying life in Belleville Lodge.

Mum has been at Belleville Lodge for nearly 6 months. The building and gardens are lovely and it is in a very peaceful part of town. She settled in quickly despite having lots of reservations about leaving her own home. The manager and the team create a very warm and caring atmosphere and I can be confident that Mum is being well looked after. Staff are great at keeping me informed of any health issues and the 24-hour nursing care as well as access to the local GP and Advanced Practitioner Nurse is very reassuring. The activities coordinators arrange lots of appropriate and stimulating events for the residents. Family members are always made to feel welcome and are invited to join in. The staff are all very friendly and there is a low turnover of staff meaning that Mum has been able to get to know them and to build up relationships. Staff have all got a very good 'handle' on Mum and her likes and dislikes and they are able to meet her individual support and care needs.
I find the staff and manager to be very welcoming supportive and friendly to myself and other family or friends who visit my relative.

I find the staff and manager to be very welcoming supportive and friendly to myself and other family or friends who visit my relative. Staff show compassion, empathy, and an interest in their resident's lives. They treat my relative with respect, and over the last few months, they know who she is and what her likes and dislikes are and always try to include her in planned activities, where she often takes part indirectly away from the main group this is where she feels safe. She is very relaxed around the staff and she likes to give them cuddles as well as receiving them back from the staff members. My partner and I can now feel supported in knowing she is safe. I find the manager very supportive and will always be available to have a general chat or to answer questions, as well as all the staff she manages. We always receive a phone call if our relative has been unwell.
After looking at several care homes, we looked at...
I would highly recommend, this is a safe, friendly, clean and well cared for environment for our elderly loved ones.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are very proud of the manager and the team at Belleville Lodge and are delighted your mum is enjoying living in her new home.

Michelle became Home Manager at Belleville in September 2023, bringing 19 years of experience in health and social care. A registered learning disability nurse, she has worked in various roles, including senior carer coordinator, deputy manager, and manager. Michelle’s personal experience growing up with a sister with learning disabilities inspired her career in care. She takes pride in ensuring residents feel safe, comfortable, and valued.
One of her proudest achievements was completing her nursing degree while working full-time and raising her son. Outside of work, Michelle enjoys watching football and raising her children with a strong work ethic. Her advice for choosing a care home is to visit and experience the environment firsthand.

I have been a registered nurse for 31 years. I trained in Glasgow and graduated with a BA in Nursing Studies. Post qualification, I moved into the private care sector and have worked in Care Homes for the Elderly ever since.
