Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre in the heart of South Edinburgh provides specialist care and neuro rehabilitation for adults living with acquired brain injuries and complex neurological conditions. Our centre is dedicated to helping each individual regain independence and discover new purpose through expert, person-centred support in a safe, homely environment.
Situated in a residential part of Edinburgh, Gilmerton offers easy access to local shops, community services, and major bus routes, making it convenient for families and visitors. Edinburgh itself is rich in cultural heritage, green spaces, and amenities, which residents are encouraged to engage with as part of their holistic well-being.
We provide slow stream rehabilitation tailored for people with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease, stroke, and epilepsy. Understanding that recovery can be a gradual process, our rehabilitation programmes are carefully paced and structured around meaningful goals co-created with each individual.
Our multidisciplinary team, including qualified nurses, physiotherapists, and NHS Lothian neuro-rehabilitation specialists, work closely to support every step, from early stages of recovery to ongoing rehabilitation after hospital discharge, empowering residents to maximise their potential.
At Gilmerton, care planning is a collaborative journey, focusing on each resident’s unique needs, preferences, and aspirations. Our tailored plans reflect holistic health and emotional needs, shaped across every stage of rehabilitation. Residents and their families are integral to these plans, ensuring care is flexible and truly person-centred.
Care plans are regularly reviewed and updated, responding to progress, challenges, or changes in goals, fostering a dynamic and responsive support environment that puts dignity and empowerment first.
Residents benefit from proximity to Edinburgh’s local amenities including shops and community services. The city offers world-renowned cultural attractions such as the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Edinburgh Castle, and the National Museum of Scotland. For those who enjoy the outdoors, nearby parks and quiet residential streets provide inviting spaces for relaxation and gentle walks.
Excellent transport links by bus and train across Scotland and the rest of the UK make it easy for family members to visit and for residents to attend off-site appointments or excursions, helping maintain community connections beyond the care centre.
At Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre, our rehabilitation activities are designed to help residents rebuild their confidence and develop the practical skills they need for greater independence. Through personalised therapy programmes, residents work on relearning daily tasks such as dressing, cooking, and managing personal care, with support from occupational therapists who tailor activities to each person’s abilities and goals.
These purposeful activities not only enhance physical strength and coordination but also engage cognitive functions like memory, problem-solving, and communication. By focusing on meaningful tasks, residents regain control over their everyday lives and are empowered to participate more fully in their communities. Our dedicated team ensures that each step encourages autonomy and respects individual pace, fostering a sense of accomplishment and motivation to progress further.
Our dedicated team is committed to creating an environment where residents feel valued, supported, and inspired. Compassionate care is paired with expert clinical knowledge to foster a culture of respect and empowerment. We continually collaborate with residents and families, ensuring every person’s journey is met with understanding and encouragement.
At Gilmerton, supporting life-changing recovery and enhancing quality of life is at the heart of everything we do, making it a place where new possibilities are discovered every day.
