About Colinton

A real home has as much personality as the people who live there. That’s why we’ve made Colinton a place you’d be proud and happy to live in – just as you would your own home. Set in large, landscaped grounds, Colinton is a beautifully secluded retreat in the suburbs of Edinburgh.

With 53 bedrooms divided between our nursing and dementia care units, we think carefully about the type of room each resident needs. Our bedrooms are set across three floors, and each floor has its own smaller living and dining rooms, meaning peace and quiet is never far away. Our main lounge and garden summerhouse also gives us the opportunity to come together as a group.

We understand that moving into Colinton is a considerable transition for you, but one we try to make feel as easy as possible. By helping you arrange your room just the way you like, or bringing you your daily newspaper, we’ll do the little things that make the biggest difference.
