Edgewater is a supportive, community-based home that supports adults living with complex mental and physical health needs, who require integrated and holistic care.

The home consists of three 10-bed units, each with its own shared kitchen, dining area, lounge, and quiet room - creating smaller environments that support familiarity and connection.

In addition, there are shared communal spaces including an activities hub, sensory room, and accessible garden.

The staff team on each unit is built around people’s individual needs.

Snowdrop Unit supports adults with complex clinical needs requiring ongoing, coordinated care.

Most people have a primary neurological condition and co-occurring health needs such as diabetes, dysphagia, epilepsy, and respiratory conditions - and require interventions like catheters, CPAP, PEGs, tracheostomies, and ventilators.

Daffodil Unit is a female-only unit for older adults living with a primary diagnosis of dementia who present with behaviours of concern.

The unit has been designed in line with the University of Stirling’s Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Tool (EADDAT), to create a space that promotes comfort, independence, and overall wellbeing.

Iris Unit is a male-only environment for younger working-age adults living with neurological or mental health conditions such as acquired brain injury, dementia, or stroke, and who present with behaviours of concern.

Care at Edgewater is led by a multidisciplinary team including general, mental health, and learning disability nurses, therapists, and support workers.

Each person’s care is tailored around their interests and aspirations - from redeveloping motor skills and memory, to maintaining routines that foster self-esteem and independence.

Edgewater’s large garden and nearby beaches also enable regular outdoor activities, helping people stay physically active and socially connected.

Review from J T (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father recently moved to Edgewater, what an excellent service. There is a noticeable improvement in my father since he moved here. The staff are very friendly and helpful and you can definitely tell they are committed to their jobs and learning. The staff are specially trained to support those with
an acquired brain injury. The accommodation is clean and tidy and the ward environments offer low stimulation with an activity ward separate. It is a real shame that these providers are few and far between and that there aren’t more of them across the country.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident of Edgewater and I live 250 miles away. The guest room can be booked with the manager. It has a sofa bed for sleeping for two. There is an ensuite wetroom and the room is wheelchair accessible and beautifully decorated. It has underfloor heating! There is a shared kitchen
with a microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge and water fountain. The room has wifi. The room is below the resident's room. I was made welcome by all the staff I met. I was easily able to see my father. Thank you so much.
Outings: my father loves going out and about. I joined him on outings for shopping where he bought himself Christmas socks and cards and warm gloves. Another trip was along the promenade and then to a coffee shop for drinks, biscuits and chat. The carers pushed wheelchair users, everybody had a great time and my father was so well looked after. The staff are so very kind and caring at Edgewater. Dad is 92!

Both my husband and I have been made very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, and all his needs are being met. I feel contended that he is safe and they understand all his complex medical needs. It's a thoroughly lovely home-from-home.

The staff are very polite. 100% good care. The food is brilliant.
My life has changed for the better since moving here.
I've been getting up every day, as I was unable to do this previously, due to physio and staff.

Edgewater has a lovely calm atmosphere and is set up like a home-from-home (not clinical). My sister is well settled and happy here, always has lots of smiles for staff and is always presented as clean, tidy and well looked after. Staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful when visiting.

My relative just moved into Edgewater. I had my first visit last weekend. What a beautiful place. The staff I met were friendly, reassuring and helpful, and I left feeling my relative was in good hands and will receive compassion and professional care. Thank you; it's a long time since I felt hopeful
for my relative.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.042)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.042) out of 10 for Edgewater is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Edgewater is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 5
  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 4.042 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Edgewater is based on 4 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.667
  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.
