Pentland Hill is situated in Corstorphine, a residential area of Edinburgh, with shops within walking distance and on a local bus route. This modern, bright and spacious home has been purpose-built to meet the needs of residents. There are two houses providing nursing care and two providing dementia care. Each house has a comfortable lounge and dining area, where residents may meet to relax or entertain guests. All houses also have access to large landscaped gardens in which to spend a sunny afternoon. All the bedrooms have garden views, and all offer en-suite facilities. Daily activities take place, including gardening, games, arts and crafts, and trips to local places of interest in and around the city.

Bupa Care Homes

All our homes offer the quality of care you'd expect from Bupa. We employ dedicated, well trained staff, to provide 24-hour care in a professional and respectful way.

Above all, each resident is treated as an individual, and able to exercise choice in all aspects of their care. We encourage as full and active a lifestyle as possible, with rules and regulations kept to minimum, and visitors are welcome at any time.

Each resident has their own regularly updated care plan. Additional services such as speech therapy or physiotherapy can always be arranged, as can opticians and dentists appointments.

All rooms have television points and safety features such as smoke detectors and 24-hour nurse-call systems. Residents are welcome to bring personal belongings and small items of furniture, and pets are allowed in some homes.

Each home has an activities organiser to provide stimulating and interesting activities, taking account of residents' interests. There is always a varied menu of fresh, nutritious food, but special dietary or cultural needs will always be catered for.

Fees vary for each home, room and the level of care needed. Please contact the home manager directly to get an individualised quote.

Why not visit your local home and find out what sets Bupa care homes apart?
