Review from A P (Partner of Resident) published on 8 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It's been nearly 4 months since my partner was admitted to Gilmerton Neurological Centre. He has came on very well in the time he has been there. ALL staff are great with him and understand that he is younger and may not be as interested in all the activities but they like to keep him involved. I have every hope that they will manage to get him to a place where he will be able to come home. I just hope they have the mini bus back soon so there was more outside therapies. Although that hasn't stopped them taking them on little outings and out over the festive period.

Reply from Catherine Forrest-Smith, Deputy Manager at Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre

Thank you for your feedback. We are very happy to work with you and your family to get your loved one in a place where he can return home with his family, hopefully his rehabilitation keeps progressing to the level of expectations

Review from D M (Sister of Resident) published on 29 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My brother recently transitioned to Gilmerton NCC to support his rehabilitation. The process has been seamless staff have worked hard to create a smooth transition whilst supporting my brother throughout. The communication has been fantastic I cannot thank the staff enough as they have gone over and above to help him settle in, this is so reassuring for me.

When visiting we are always made feel welcome, staff are on hand to help if and when required and I feel very happy with the care my brother is receiving. The facilities are bright, warm & welcoming and I appreciate the security measures in place when entering/exiting the building.

His suite is bright, clean and well positioned within the home to ensure he has easy access to all areas promoting his independence. He has the opportunity to take part in a variety of different activities which I'm sure he will more than enjoy.

Again, thank you all so much for everything!

Review from Kingsley D (Regular Volunteer) published on 25 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I have visited quite a few care homes in the last is years + Gilmerton is the best by far. All the staff I have dealt with have been professional, friendly + supportive in equal measure. I was especially impressed with the holiday trip that was organised for my client.

The care that Gilmertan has provided my client has brought my client back to life and he is ready for a new chapter when he moves on.

Reply from Management Team, Management Team at Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre

Thank you for your kind review and it has been our absolute pleasure to be able to support your client and to ensure that an array of opportunities have been made available to assist with their rehabilitation. We wish your client all the best for their future and hope that they take fond memories of Gilmerton with them.

Our son has improved since his admission to Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre. He is more communicative, his mobility has improved with all the physiotherapy he is receiving. What an improvement from his last placement. We are very happy with our son living at Gilmerton.

Review from Alana S (Wife of Resident) published on 15 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have nothing but admiration and praise for each and every one of the team at GNCC, for the tender loving care they provided my wife. Sadly, my wife passed away in May this year, and I've been told that her presence is missed in the home. We talk about people being part of the family, and don't always get a real sense of what that means, but within GNCC, the staff and the residents do become friends, and love each other like a family, it's beautiful. Thank you for everything you do each and every day.

Review from Sandra C (Partner of Resident) published on 21 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My partner has recently moved into the NCC at Gilmerton after a long stay in hospital. The whole process from being visited by staff from the NCC prior to admission then discharge from hospital was straightforward and easy. The staff have been very welcoming and understanding of his various needs. They have given him time to settle and have not overwhelmed us with information. He has been seen by the Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist who will create a program for his continued rehab. Every member of staff we have spoken with has taken the time to introduce themselves and have all been very friendly, approachable, welcoming and understanding of my partner's difficulties and happily remind him of their names when he forgets. We are looking forward to starting the next stage of his continued recovery and working with the team who I am confident will help and support us every step of the way.

Overall Experience

My mum started here in January, I was nervous about this to begin with but as she settled in I became more confident. The staff were very reassuring and they built up amazing relationships with me and my mum. I feel that this is the best place for my mum to be as they have so many activities for my mum to participate in. My mum is really happy here and has now settled in.

Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre is very close to being excellent all-round. The staff, managers, carers and office staff are very helpful and supportive, extremely welcoming to visitors too. Everyone is consistent in all aspects in my experience. I recognise they struggle with ongoing problems using their on-site mini-bus on occasion.

Overall Experience

I am very happy with Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre, my mum is so happy, she gets a very high standard of care. She is always clean, tidy and happy. The activities are fantastic, my mum was so busy in December with panto, out for Christmas lunch, out to see Christmas light, Christmas party, Christmas jumper day and lots more. My mum now goes out to a volunteer job role. She is so happy as she thought after her stroke she would never work again, this has improved my mother's concept 100%. All my family are so grateful to the staff and management at Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre.

Dad has been at Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre for twenty-plus years. He has always seemed very happy and content with living here. His needs are met and are well supported by staff. Staff are also very good at informing family as and when any updates are required, particularly during the challenging period of Covid-19. We as a family are very happy Dad is here and can't thank the staff enough for the support they provide.

Review from Robert H (Respite Resident) published on 26 May 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I was a resident at Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre; when I came in I was a proper state. Through care, attention, structure, routine, rehabilitation, activities and therapies; 6 months on I've managed to leave under the home's guidance and have been reintegrated back into the community. Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre has helped me recover my individuality and self-identity.

Throughout my stay, I was not only treated with respect and dignity but helped to the degree I needed as my needs required. I couldn't have done it without you, Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre thank you so much, I love you all!
