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.

From the day my family member entered his new home they supported us the family and helped alleviate the guilt we had at such a difficult time. He has been treated with the utmost care respect and all his needs met.
The staff from manager down to the domestics etc make this place what it is today.
They spend lots of time with the residents getting to know them and have regular activities going on throughout the year.
Keep up the good work you are a lifeline to many when all other avenues are closed.

As someone who has been a registered nurse for over 35 years, I found that the experience my Mother and our family had with Camilla House an extremely positive one. All of the staff led by the Manager and the Deputy Manager were excellent. From our first contact with them whilst trying to secure a place for Mum, they were welcoming, open, honest and keen to allay any fears we may have had. Throughout Mum's time there, we were all treated with respect, compassion, care and dignity with all of Mum's and our needs being met fully. The home itself was clean and welcoming and offered a variety of activities for those residents that wished to partake in them. I would have no reservation in recommending Camilla House to others.
The manager has been very helpful from the start, and arranged to move my husband from a hospital in England to Camilla House which took an enormous weight from my shoulders. The staff are always pleasant and friendly, and my husband has settled here very quickly.

Camilla House is a beautiful building with excellent facilities and a very high standard of cleanliness. The general atmosphere is very pleasant. The staff are extremely hard-working - nothing seems to be too much trouble for them - and they are very attentive, caring and friendly towards residents.

The home is very clean and staff are very friendly. The home has a 'homely' feel and we are very pleased with the care dad receives. The home keeps us well informed and it's great having open visiting. Dad is treated with dignity and respect which means so much to us.

Michelle has managed Camilla House for a number of years now and she has a wealth of experience as a Home Manager and across the care sector.

I love my job, as I get great satisfaction from seeing the residents enjoying my food. And I love to know that I am making their day that little bit special by involving them in activities like cake decoration and cookie making.
