Camilla House Care Home

My husband came to Camilla House Care Home from hospital where they had been unable to get him out of bed and he had lost two and a half stone in weight. He now walks from his room through to the main lounge and dining room with the help of two carers and is up all day. He enjoys all the food, eats well and has gained some weight already! We are all very pleased with this progress.

I am so happy my sister and I found Camilla House Care Home tucked away in a beautiful residential area in The Grange, Edinburgh. The professional care and kindness the staff give my mum is amazing. My mum has been there for two weeks and is already settled and very happy. Such peace of mind for all her family. Thanking you all.

My friend, who I have POA for, has been very happy at Camilla House Care Home. She is well cared for, clean, has good food and the staff are attentive. She appears to have activities in which she joins in with. Under Covid restrictions, visiting has been as easy as possible. I'm confident she is well cared for and she is able to enjoy this stage of her life.

I think this is an outstanding care home, it is well-managed and the staff are very positive, patient and loving in their style of working. Really they are very good. They demonstrate tremendous respect for the residents, affection and also efficiency in the conduct of their tasks. They have the right attitude of reverence and respect for elders. They are a credit to us all.

Very good care and clean. Good food.

Staff and management are very welcoming, very good people.

I'm writing this on behalf of my dad. His wife has been a resident for two years and she's very happy there. The staff are lovely and they have also been very helpful to him which is really appreciated. The food is second to none which is not always the case with care homes and we cannot fault it in any way. What a difference it's made to both my dad's wife and my dad's lives because they were really struggling (especially my dad because he couldn't manage to look after her any longer) The care and understanding she's received is excellent.

It was very difficult being unable to visit the home because of the restrictions but as soon as these restrictions changed we were informed immediately about visits.

I don't need to worry about her because I know she is well looked after by the caring staff.

The staff at Camilla House are extremely friendly and caring, I know my dad is very well looked after. His room is always very clean and the staff are always very welcoming. My dad seems content and happy. We are pleased we can now visit and spend some time with him.

I feel that the manager and staff have worked extremely hard to try to safeguard residents from the virus to the very best of their ability. I value that many of the staff I met at the outset are still in post. This facilitates consistency. I generally find the staff to be warm and caring and they appear fond of and kind towards my mother. The manager is very approachable, caring and reliable. I feel I have good communication with all.

Because of the pandemic, I have not been able to visit my mother for the past year as I no longer live in the UK. However, the manager and her team keep me informed of my mother's condition and general wellbeing. She is not able to communicate by any technological means but we did receive photos of her birthday celebration. Although Camilla House was directly affected by the pandemic with both residents and staff becoming ill, the staff worked tirelessly in caring for the residents despite the additional workload caused by the necessity to use PPE. My mother did not catch the virus, a testament to the good cross-infection measures and has now received her first dose of the vaccine.

My mother has been a resident in Camilla House for 10 years now. Challenges such as the language barrier have not been an obstacle for the staff. She has dementia but the care has been fantastic. Staff will accompany us to hospital appointments and have either started earlier or stayed past their shifts just to support mum. I am really grateful. Outstanding care. Thank you.

All in all, I couldn't be happier about the way Dad is being looked after as he approaches the end of his life and to the dedicated, friendly team at Camilla House, I would say a big 'thank-you'.

My husband has been in Camilla House from March 5th 2018 and he is well looked after. The staff and carers are really good with all the residents. He is happy, well-fed and contented.

Very pleased with facilities, dedication of staff and the general atmosphere of Camilla House.

My husband settled well coming here three months ago thanks to good staff and pleasant atmosphere. He started to eat better again and put on 4kg! This, in turn, made him stronger physically. We are all greeted well when visiting and there seems to be a certain life in the home most of the time. The staff make sure of that. A bunch of residents have just gone off in the minibus for an outing in the sunshine and there are many other activities through the week. I think my husband was lucky in his misfortune having to come here.

When my husband came here I was worried, however, I have found the staff very friendly and helpful not only to my husband but to myself. He is well cared for and happy.

My mother moved into Camilla House in February 2018. Since my mother moved in, her health has improved. My mother's ability to do things for herself has been encouraged, she now drinks from a cup and glass, and feeds herself at meal times. My mother is always clean and well presented. Staff are always present to interact with residents and support their comfort and provide activities. My mothers room is made personal and her comfort and safety is always a priority. My mother enjoys going on the bus to the supermarket and other locations.

The staff are extremely kind, caring and patient with my mum and dad. Lovely that they have their own room with small sitting area. Bright and comfortable room. Nice to know they are safe and happy, especially as I live so far away in Canada.
