Our Values at Gilmerton Neuro Care Centre

Person-Centred in Everything We Do


At Gilmerton, we see the individual first – not the condition. Every care plan, activity and interaction is shaped by the person’s needs, goals and preferences. We take time to listen, understand what matters to each resident, and build trusting relationships that support both independence and wellbeing. We value dignity, choice and the right to live life in a way that feels meaningful.

Collaborative, Connected Care


We work closely with residents, families, healthcare professionals and specialist partners to provide care that is coordinated and consistent. Our partnerships with NHS Lothian, Headway, and local services ensure that each person has access to the right support at the right time. Families are welcomed as part of the care team, and communication is open, honest and supportive throughout every stage of someone’s journey.

Commitment to High Standards


Our team is made up of skilled nurses, carers and therapists who are passionate about delivering excellent care. We take part in ongoing training, quality assurance programmes and external partnerships to ensure we’re always working to the highest standards. Whether it’s clinical care, emotional support or day-to-day living, we aim to make every experience a positive one.
