A stunning listed building with period features, Camilla House is a beautiful home. But it’s the team, several of whom have been with the home for over 10 years, which make it really special.
Passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, they organise so many wonderful activities and experiences for them to enjoy. From rides around Edinburgh on a trishaw and animal therapy visits, to baking and pamper sessions, with manicures and hand massages.
The local community are embraced into life at Camilla House. Children from the local nursery and dance school are regular visitors, as are community fitness instructors, who run gentle exercise sessions.
The residents love to hear performances from the local dementia choir and enjoy regular church services in the home, as well as attending the church’s friendship café. Every week the mobile hairdresser visits the home’s salon, for appointments with the residents. There are also regular visits from the chiropodist and optician, as well as weekly GP visits.
And there are trips galore in the home’s minibus, from the cinema, theatres and playhouse, to the famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the local bird centre, Portobello Beach and trips on the Rathro Barge and Queen’s Ferry.
Mealtimes are a highlight of the day with the home’s award-winning chef, who has been with Camilla House for over 10 years and has won several awards in Sanctuary Care’s MasterChef competition. The residents enjoy delicious, traditional home-cooked meals, with freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea. This summer they have enjoyed growing their own produce in the home’s secure garden, which they harvested to use in the kitchen.
With bay windows and high ceilings, the lounges and dining rooms are beautiful, light and airy spaces to relax and spend time with loved ones. There is also a conservatory, which can be used for family celebrations and private dining.
Our weekly room fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed. Our 2025 weekly care room fees start from £1723, but may be more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.

Perhaps the greatest compliment that we can pay to Camilla House is that, now that mum is no longer with us, we will genuinely miss coming in to see how everyone in the community is getting on!

The carers are very attentive and professional and he has veen very happy staying there. He enjoys all the variety of activities they provide.

Staff very attentive throughout my visit engaging with residents . Very relaxed ambiance within the home.
My sister is very happy here and that makes me happy that she is being well supported and cared for meeting her individual needs.
Enjoyable visit.
My Mum arrived at Camilla house Dec 2024 and was made very welcome from the start. She settled in very quickly. Staff got to know her and Mum is well taken care of. She has perked up since moving there after living totally alone. The managers, the nurses, the home administrator, the carers, the...
Camilla House is strong in involving residents in activities that are purposeful, meaningful, and seasonal and go above and beyond to provide stimulation, both in-house and with external visitors and performers. The home benefits from not being too small to have an activity budget, nor too big and lacking cohesion. The staff also put effort into fund-raising to add to the activities budget. All this would of course be meaningless without the carers who are so kind. The carers are worth their weight in gold!

Sadly my father in law passed away in December with his dementia and other health problems but it is lovely to know as a family that his last six and a half months were enjoyed by him and his care was excellent.

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review, especially written at such a difficult time. It will mean so much for the team to hear how their care and support helped make your father-in-law's transition from the hospital so much easier, and that he enjoyed his time with us, from the food to the activities. We're especially glad that the team were able to ensure his love for football and bowls was something he could actively enjoy there. Our thoughts are with you and your family, and we're grateful that we could provide a safe and caring environment during his final months.

I’ve seen a significant improvement in my mum's general health and mental health following her move to Camilla House in early 2023. Mum seems to be very settled at Camilla and enjoys the support of the friendly and professional staff.

My husband was in this home for ten months, till his death on 26th July. We were partly helped to pay by the council, as far as I know the full amount was paid. The room was very small and stuffy. Window looked out onto a roof. The bed was hospital style. He wasn't given a top sheet and blanket, I noticed other residents were. He used a throw I took in on the bed. When I asked, I was told they would give him a summer duvet. He had one for two weeks, then back to the throw. I bought two duvets and covers. First one disappeared, second one I put on the bed myself. Two weeks later, back to the throw. I was never given a satisfactory explanation for this.
Thank you for your review, we are sorry for your loss. We are so sorry you felt unhappy with the room, if you had raised this with us, we would have been more than happy to move him to a different bedroom. In terms of the duvet, our residents’ comfort is so important to us and during the summer...
Thank you for your review, we are sorry for your loss. We are so sorry you felt unhappy with the room, if you had raised this with us, we would have been more than happy to move him to a different bedroom. In terms of the duvet, our residents’ comfort is so important to us and during the summer months, your husband simply found the duvet made him too hot, so preferred to use the throw instead. We are sorry we didn't make you aware of this. Please don’t hesitate to contact the home manager directly if you have any other concerns.
My mother has been in Camilla House for two months and the staff are very good with her. She also likes the home cooked meals and baking and enjoys the sing-a-longs with one staff member. The home is clean and tidy with a nice garden to sit and relax.
