For older people seeking a supportive place to call home, we offer personalised care that respects individual routines, preferences, and life histories. Dementia care is a particularly important part of what we do. We understand how challenging a dementia diagnosis can be, not only for the person living with the condition but also for those who love them. Our approach centres on dignity, patience, and meaningful engagement, helping residents to feel reassured and understood at every stage of their journey. We work closely with families to share insights, offer guidance, and create care plans that reflect each resident's unique story. We also welcome younger adults who require nursing support, recognising that care needs are not defined by age alone. Our team takes time to understand the goals, interests, and aspirations of younger residents, ensuring that their daily lives are enriched and that they feel genuinely at home with us.

The Well-led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we have taken this feedback seriously as an opportunity to strengthen our leadership and governance. We believe in being open about our journey, and we are committed to continuous improvement so that every resident and family can have full confidence in the care we deliver. Choosing a nursing home for someone you love is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the care, thought, and emotion that goes into it. At Lauriston, we are here to listen, to answer your questions, and to walk alongside you as you explore the right path forward.
