Understanding Nursing Care

Nursing care at Gilmerton is focused on maintaining health and wellbeing while also supporting people to live as fully and comfortably as possible. Our nurses manage a wide range of clinical needs, from medication and wound care to the more complex requirements associated with conditions like Parkinson’s Disease, MS, Motor Neurone Disease and epilepsy. Each resident has an individualised care plan that is regularly reviewed and adapted as their needs change.

Beyond physical care, our team also supports residents emotionally and socially, building strong relationships that help reduce anxiety and promote trust. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of someone’s wellbeing is considered. We also work closely with families, keeping them informed and involved in their loved one’s care while offering reassurance that their relative is in safe hands.
