At Gilmerton Neurological Care Centre, we know that it’s often the small, everyday comforts that mean the most. Our Coffee Corner is a quiet, homely space where residents can enjoy a warm drink, read a book or spend time with visitors in a relaxed setting. Whether it’s part of someone’s daily routine or just a quiet change of scene, it offers a familiar, calming place to pause and recharge.
Tucked away from the bustle of the main lounge, the Coffee Corner provides a peaceful environment for moments of quiet and calm. Residents can help themselves to a hot drink or enjoy one made by a member of the team, with comfortable seating and a homely atmosphere that feels just like a favourite corner café. It’s a popular spot for reading, reminiscing, or catching up with family.
The space is also used for small social groups, digital activities, and one-to-one sessions with carers or visitors. It’s fully accessible for residents with mobility needs and thoughtfully laid out to feel welcoming without being overstimulating – ideal for those who prefer a gentler pace.
Having a space like the Coffee Corner gives residents the freedom to choose how they spend their time. It’s not a formal activity space, and it’s not a bedroom; it’s somewhere in between, offering comfort, independence and a sense of normality. For residents living with neurological conditions or recovering from brain injury, this kind of quiet, familiar space can be a real support to wellbeing.
It’s also a favourite place for visits, where families can sit together in a relaxed setting and enjoy time that feels natural and unrushed. Whether it’s part of someone’s daily routine or an occasional treat, the Coffee Corner is there to be enjoyed in whatever way suits each person best.
The Coffee Corner is open throughout the day and evening. Residents are welcome to use it whenever they like, either on their own or with others.
Absolutely. It’s a lovely space for residents and their visitors to enjoy a quiet chat over a drink, and it’s often used for relaxed family time.
The Coffee Corner has a calm, low-stimulation atmosphere, making it an ideal space for residents who may find larger group settings overwhelming.
