Many thanks for taking the time to send a review. It is very much appreciated by all the staff
Mum lived in Liberton Brae for three years until her death from Alzheimer's in March 2026. Throughout that time we were delighted with the care that she received and had absolutely no cause for complaint at any time. The staff are fabulous; the nursing, care, domestic, maintenance, admin and entertainment teams are caring, thoughtful and considerate. The facilities too are perfect, with lovely rooms and areas for residents and also for relatives and friends to spend time with loved ones. We couldn't fault the way in which Mum's needs were catered for and loved the way she was treated with respect and as an individual. At the time of her passing the Liberton Brae team were so compassionate and it was clear that they genuinely cared for Mum. We found choosing a Care Home tough, it's such an important decision and one that impacts the life of our loved ones so much - we couldn't have been happier that we chose Liberton Brae. From the bottom of our hearts - Thank You.
Thank-you very much for taking the time to send your feedback. Much appreciated. Will pass on to all the staff
The standard of care my Dad receives is first class. He is always clean, shaven and well dressed. The staff are lovely, they know the names of everyone in the care home, they are very attentive and very approachable. My Dad loves taking part in the many activities offered by the team. His room is large, well decorated and spotless. I can't praise the staff enough.
Many thanks for taking the time to send a review. Much appreciated by all the staff
The quality of care from all of the staff is excellent and the activities offered are thoughtful, varied and stimulating. I always feel welcome when I visit my Mum, and I am confident that she is receiving the best possible care and attention to her welfare.
Thank-you very much for your lovely review. Much appreciated by all of us at Liberton Brae
Mum arrived December 2025. From the very start she has been looked after superbly well. Her room is lovely and spotlessly clean. She really enjoys the food and entertainment. And finally the best part are the staff, throughout the care home all the staff are truly amazing. I feel she is really safe and a big thank you to everyone for that.

My Mum has been a resident of Liberton Brae for the past 18 months and we cannot praise the care she receives highly enough. The whole team have the wellbeing and comfort of the residents at the heart of everything they do, and as a family we are grateful to know Mum is being treated with the kindness and respect she deserves.
Than-you very much for your feedback. We really do appreciate it. Will pass on to the staff
The care, compassion and communication at Liberton Brae is second to none! The home is beautiful, bright and welcoming. Every member of staff is informative and professional whilst offering a personal touch with a huge smile or a hug. I can't thank everyone enough for the care that my step mum has received over the past 18 months. She's basically in a 5 star hotel! There's so many activities for the residents to be involved and Jeanette & Anna manage to keep the activities fun and engaging for the residents.
Thank-you so much for your kind words and lovely feedback. Will pass on to all the staff
I cannot comment highly or positively enough on the Amicura Liberton Brae care home.
Every aspect of the care is quite excellent, not least the individual care, empathy, compassion and support shown to my younger sister (who has early on-set dementia and secondary progressive MS). My sister is always treated with the utmost care, dignity and respect and the facilities, the management and the nursing care team are also all quite excellent.
The activities and food and drink are also at a level well above what we have previously experienced and witnessed in other care homes. The communications from the care home are also highly effective, consistent and reliable, which is also very reassuring and comforting.
Thank you as always to all the extended team at the Amicura Liberton Brae care home.

Our Mum has been at Liberton Brae for several months. We know she is safe and well cared for. The staff are professional, kind, and attentive. They are well informed about Mum's needs and care, and very responsive whenever we raise a concern about her health. The wellbeing team provide a wide range of suitable activities and encourage Mum to take part. This has enriched her life enormously. The staff are also so kind to our Dad who visits regularly, and joins Mum for a meal once a week. Her room is always clean, welcoming and comfortable. Mum was always very stylish, and thanks to the staff she still is. Having Mum cared for at Liberton Brae has relieved the whole family of the worry and stress of trying to care for her at home.
Many thanks for taking the time to send us your feedback. It's very much appreciated
My mum joined in with the various activities and enjoyed them, her morning exercises with Janett, the weekly bingo. Her biggest highlight was the performance of calamity Jane which she loved as it was from her era. She had fun and laughs with the halloween activites.
