St Raphael’s – which is affectionately known as St R’s - is Viewpoint’s largest home and it’s a busy, friendly community with lots going on. Relatives are constantly dropping by, entertainers put on shows and activity co-ordinators and care assistants join in the fun, helping residents to enjoy the events and experience joy in later years.

Bus trips take place regularly throughout the week and whisk residents away to the coast as well as many other places of interest chosen by residents and, of course, weather permitting. St R’s embraces its art deco history and has been decorated in lively colours that match this exciting era.

The highly trained nursing staff are energetic and always on the go. The large kitchen provides catering for both St Raphael’s and neighbouring Marian House so it is always busy in there, the food is delicious and there is always plenty of it. A bright and sunny dining room with a bar, sitting room and home cinema space is at the heart of all the activity.

Other, quieter lounges are dotted about the home. So it's possible to have calm moments and some well-deserved ‘me time’ in one of the more private, homely lounges. In summer, the gardens are an abundance of colour with the smell of fresh flowers in the air as you relax and, hopefully, enjoy the warmer weather.

St Raphael’s also contains a specialist unit, known as Cunningham House, which caters for advanced dementia residents or those with mental health conditions, offering additional security and safety measures, specialist care and training.

St Raphael’s is a vibrant, happening place. Fresh Friday is a tradition – there’s a theme on the last Friday of every month where staff dress up accordingly, whether it’s all the colours of rainbow, a selection of silly hats or a letter of the alphabet, everyone is game.

My Dad has been in St Raphael's for a couple of years now and has been very well looked after throughout this time.


The staff know him well and have cared for him through some recent episodes of delirium very effectively.


He needs help with all personal care now but is always smartly dressed

and clean and tidy.
Reply from Jeannie Garing, Care Home Manager at St Raphael'sThank you for your review. The staff team work hard to get to know the residents as individuals and plan their support around their personal preferences. The staff very much appreciate the support you give home.

St Raphael's has been a warm & welcoming new home for me and I greatly appreciate their care. There is a wide range of activites including regular outings staff are always kind and helpful. The food service is transitioning from an in house chef to bought in prepare meals for lunch & dinner. There are
teething issues - portion size (too small), lack of variety on menu and short notice changes. However, the team are engaging with residents to improve issues.
Reply from Jeannie Garing, Care Home Manager at St Raphael'sThank you for your supportive review. The staff strive to make sure that new residents are made to feel welcome and well cared for. It is good to hear that you are enjoying the social activities and outings. We will continue to engage with the residents as we transition to the new food delivery service to ensure it meets the high standards you all deserve.

Review from David B (Brother of Resident) published on 8 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister developed early onset dementia and moved into St Raphaels in 2015. The level of loving care she was provided with exceeded anything I could have wished for. She was initially living in the specialist dementia wing, where the staff fully understood her condition and treated her with dignity
and understanding. As her condition worsened she moved into the main house where she has lived for the last five years. Not once has she experienced any bed sores despite being bed ridden for the last few years. I can not thank the nursing staff enough for what this means for Chris and her family.
Reply from Jeannie Garing, Care Home Manager at St Raphael'sHi David,

Thank you for your review and appreciation of the staff who cared for your sister. It was a pleasure to support her for all the years she lived here. Our staff aspire to always maintain high standards and very much appreciate it when this is acknowledged by family and friends.

Daughter-in-Law: St. Raphael's has a very strong art program. The program runs Tues, Wed, Thurs by a capable and patient staff. The teachers meet the residents whatever their skill level. They are very experienced and change tactics to best assist the resident. I think this program is unique and helps
keep residents mentally active.
Reply from Jeannie Garing, Care Home Manager at St Raphael'sHi Cristina,
Thank you for the review. The Craft Cafe is a fantastic resource for our residents and they produce some very special art work. The staff enjoyed meeting you on your visit to Edinburgh and hope you enjoyed seeing your mother-in law settled and happy in our care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved to St Raphael's in 2023. She had advanced dementia and was treated with dignity and respect. The activity coordinators and staff made sure that she was stimulated and her interests met. She was a regular visitor of the cafe where the staff were extremely welcoming. She enjoyed the musical
activities offered and outings. During her palliative care, the staff were amazing. They were kind and caring, spending time with mum and the family, making sure mum was comfortable and we were supported. St Raphael's has an excellent management team who know their residents and have regular meetings with relation to keep them informed and to ensure they offer a high level of care. I highly recommend St Raphael's
Reply from Jeannie Garing, Care Home Manager at St Raphael'sThank you for your review. It was a pleasure to care for you mother and get to know her daughters. We will be reminded of her each time we see some of her art work from the Craft Cafe. Best wishes to you both. Jeannie

Review from Pauline M (Relative of Resident) published on 28 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend St Raphael's Nursing Home. Up till just recently, my relative was being cared for by the staff in the Rutland unit who absolutely went above and beyond to care for her needs which they carried out 110% with the utmost care, respect, compassion and professionalism. I will never
forget the comfort and support they all showed me personally and how well they took care of my relative throughout her time there. I will never forget what they did not only for my relative but for me through her palliative care they were a huge comfort to me and showed both of us such love and care. Thank you so much you will all have a special place in my heart for what you have done.
Reply from Jeannie Garing, Care Home Manager at St Raphael'sThank you for your review. Receiving confirmation that the staff have supported both you and your relative with such care and compassion throughout their stay with us is very much appreciated. I will share your review with the staff team in the Rutland Unit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt moved to St Raphael's 6 months ago. We had looked at St Raphael's a number of times but she declined to go. Deputy Manager very patient and understanding through these many visits. Finally, last October, Deputy Manager found us a perfect room and in a few days my aunt moved in. We were greeted
by a lovely, friendly nurse who handles intake, she immediately put my aunt at ease. I live quite some distance and every time I phone my aunt is pleased. Staff have been communicative when issues have arisen (falls, new meds, etc.) which has been comforting. All staff have been pleasant, welcoming, professional and friendly. Couldn't be happier.
Reply from Esther Bathgate, Head Of Care at St Raphael'sThank you so much for this wonderful review. Finding a suitable care home that both the person in care and family agrees to is not an easy journey. I am delighted to hear that staff at St R made this easy and they continue to do so. This feedback will be shared with the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I chose St Raphael's for the friend I am guardian for as I had had excellent care for my aunt and my mother, over a period of eight years (2014-2022). My friend has autism, is completely deaf and has mobility issues - she is treated with respect and dignity, has her taste in clothing and menu choices
completely indulged and, most importantly, is treated as an individual. I am thrilled to see carers and entertainment staff interact with her, bringing out her sense of fun and making her feel valid. I owe St Raphael's and all its staff and management a huge debt of gratitude.
Reply from Esther Bathgate, Head Of Care at St Raphael'sThank you so much for this review. We are so pleased to hear that your experience of our standards of care was excellent and responsive to the needs of your loved ones.

My father has been cared for at St Raphael's for the past three and a half years. The care he receives is superb - he is treated respectfully, kindly and with love. The team of nurses and carers who look after him do the most amazing job. It gives me great reassurance that he is so well cared for.

My wife has been a resident since June 2023. She has Parkinson's and has lost her mobility. The care in St Raphael's is exceptional as is the range of activities and entertainment provision provided. There is a good staff to resident ratio and the accommodation is well suited to my wife's circumstances
and needs. The home is set in a leafy residential area which adds to the generally positive atmosphere. Meals are interesting and varied.

My relative in care at St Raphael's was very independent and reluctant to move into a care home. At the start, she resisted and complained. The staff were understanding and patient. After a few weeks, she settled very well and is now full of praise for the kindness of staff and the comfort of the home.
It has taken a huge load off our shoulders - we know she is safe, secure, respected and well cared for.

My mother moved to St Raphael's in June 2023, she was already very frail and immobile. The nurses and care staff were kind and went to great lengths to get to know her, her likes and dislikes and to make sure she was comfortable. They were also good at keeping her family informed either in person or
via the portal. We were confident in the staff skill set and were able to relax and enjoy our visits to Mum. A really supportive and caring environment was created by all working there.

Review from Susan S (Friend of Resident) published on 6 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
St Raphael's is a very special and unique care home. All staff provide exceptional quality of care, respect and dignity and are willing to go above and beyond their responsibilities. Particular attention is given to each resident's needs and interests to make them feel happy and safe "at home" - this
is clearly evident and of paramount importance to give relatives and others peace of mind. Room sizes vary but are fitted with quality furnishings and some of the resident's personal possessions. The gardens are easily accessible with continual improvements. Menus/drink choices vary and cater for all diets, the standard of cleanliness is first class, and the vast range of weekly activities ensures residents enjoy a very high quality of life, despite their circumstances. Relatives, friends and the community are encouraged to visit and participate in St Raphael's life. I have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending this care home to anyone, as I would live there!
Reply from Lynne Feeney, Business Support Administrator at St Raphael'sThank you for such a great review. The highest of praise is when someone says they would stay in St Raphael's themselves!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.153)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.153) out of 10 for St Raphael's is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.868 for St Raphael's is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 91 Ratings = 4.868
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.285 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Raphael's is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.6 = 0.635
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
