Residential Care Home

Welcome ...

Laverock House is a fine Georgian House with two modern wings of sympathetic design standing in extensive mature gardens. The house is situated on the north side of Edinburgh in the Trinity area close to the sea, the Botanic Gardens and the main bus routes.

There are 14 single rooms, 4 with en-suite facilities. Residents are encouraged to bring their own small pieces of furniture and personal belongings to create a familiar setting.

We aim to provide quality care in a relaxed, homely environment. Visitors are welcome at all times and are encouraged to become involved in the many social events which are organised throughout the year.
