Cramond Residence, which specialises in dementia care, already boasts a wellness and physiotherapy suite, a room dedicated to Allied Health Professionals, and a gym. Since its opening in October 2018 after an


investment of £8m, the Cramond Residence has championed the concept of small group living, emphasising social connections. Specialising in a comprehensive


range of dementia care services, the home accommodates residents in both its communal living spaces and a dedicated section for those with advanced dementia needs.


General manager Ross Bijak said: “Usually, those who stay with us are dealing with complex health issues and we want to


ensure that we provide them with the very best healthcare possible. “We’re incredibly fortunate to be able


to provide this to our residents, by offering frequent GP checkups we can ensure we are on top of any medical concerns and that our resident’s families can have peace of mind knowing that any issues are frequently monitored and managed. “We believe we have one of the best care


programmes in Scotland. We have a fantastic in-house nursing team and state-of-the-art facilities and this is further solidified by the frequent GP visits which our residents benefit from every Tuesday and Friday. “Our team keep the GPs updated about


on any medical challenges that our residents face, and then after a thorough check-up, the GP’s insights help us update our records and fine-tune care plans to meet each resident’s unique needs.”
