Life at Gilmerton Neuro Care Centre

Life at Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre is all about giving people the chance to live well on their own terms. We understand that neurological conditions and acquired brain injuries can impact every part of daily life, and our role is to help people rebuild confidence, regain function where possible, and feel like themselves again. From tailored rehabilitation programmes to a rich mix of social and therapeutic activities, everything we do is designed to support people as individuals – because no two people’s journeys are the same.

Set in a peaceful part of Edinburgh, our centre offers a safe and supportive environment where clinical expertise goes hand in hand with compassion. Our care is underpinned by strong partnerships with NHS teams, Headway, and other specialist services, and we’re proud to be the only Headway-accredited neurological care provider in Scotland. But what really brings Gilmerton to life is the sense of community within our home – where residents, families, and staff work together to create a place that feels warm, familiar and full of purpose.

Our Rooms & Suites

All bedrooms at Gilmerton are single, en-suite, and designed to feel like home. Residents are encouraged to bring personal items like photographs, cushions, or artwork to help make the space their own. Whether someone is staying short-term or with us for longer, we believe it’s important that their room reflects who they are.

We believe food should be both nourishing and enjoyable. Our talented kitchen team prepares well-balanced meals each day, catering for individual dietary needs including dysphagia and diabetes. Meals are served in our spacious, restaurant-style dining room, where residents are encouraged to eat together and enjoy the social side of dining.

The centre is set on one level, offering easy access to safe outdoor spaces. Our garden areas are used for everything from walking groups to planting flowers or simply enjoying the fresh air.
