Life at Guthrie

Our dedicated care team support our residents with first-class care, as well as supporting them to live a fulfilled life. Residents can enjoy nutritious, freshly prepared meals made with seasonal ingredients by our talented chef and catering team. We also offer a varied activities programme and celebrate special occasions throughout the year, ensuring residents have plenty of opportunities to engage, socialise, and enjoy life.

Our Rooms

At Guthrie House Care Home, all our single bedrooms feature en-suite facilities, providing residents with privacy, comfort, and convenience. Each room is thoughtfully designed to create a calm and homely environment, ensuring residents feel relaxed and secure in their own space.

To make their room truly feel like home, we encourage residents to bring personal belongings, such as cherished photos, ornaments, or small pieces of furniture. Familiar items help create a sense of comfort and belonging, making the transition into our home smoother and more enjoyable. With the combination of personalised touches and modern en-suite facilities, residents can enjoy both independence and the reassurance of care when needed.

Dining

We believe that mealtimes should be enjoyable, nutritious, and tailored to our residents’ tastes. Our chefs use fresh, seasonal produce to create flavourful and well-balanced meals, ensuring that every dish is both delicious and nourishing.

We offer seasonal menus that change throughout the year, taking inspiration from residents’ feedback and preferences. Whether it’s a comforting favourite or something new to try, our team works hard to provide a varied and satisfying dining experience. Meals are served in our welcoming dining areas, where residents can enjoy great food in a social and relaxed atmosphere.

Arts & Crafts

At Guthrie House Care Home, we encourage creativity and self-expression through our regular arts and crafts sessions. These engaging activities give residents the opportunity to explore different materials and techniques, whether it’s painting, drawing, knitting, or creating seasonal decorations.

Taking part in arts and crafts offers many benefits, including improving dexterity, stimulating the mind, and providing a sense of achievement. It’s also a great way to socialise, with residents enjoying the chance to work on projects together, share ideas, and express themselves in a fun and supportive environment. Our sessions are designed to be inclusive and enjoyable for all abilities, helping residents stay engaged, active, and inspired.

Day Trips

We love giving our residents the opportunity to get out and about, enjoy the local area, and stay connected with the wider community. Thanks to our dedicated minibus, we arrange regular outings to Edinburgh’s town centre, local cafés, garden centres, and other favourite spots, providing residents with a change of scenery and a chance to explore.

These trips offer many benefits, from socialising and staying active to simply enjoying a relaxing coffee in a local café or browsing the shops. Whether it’s a leisurely afternoon at a garden centre, a stroll in a local park, or attending a community event, our outings help residents maintain a sense of independence, connection, and enjoyment beyond the home.

Private Gardens

At Guthrie House Care Home, we are fortunate to have beautiful garden and patio areas, providing residents with a peaceful and inviting outdoor space to enjoy. On sunny days, residents can relax in the fresh air, take in the surroundings, or socialise with friends and family in a calm and comfortable setting.

Spending time outdoors has many benefits, from boosting mood and wellbeing to offering a chance for gentle exercise and connection with nature. Whether enjoying a morning cup of tea, tending to plants, or simply unwinding in the sunshine, our outdoor spaces give residents a wonderful way to enjoy the changing seasons while feeling at home.

Hair Salon & Treatment Room

At Guthrie House Care Home, we know that looking and feeling good is an important part of wellbeing. That’s why we offer on-site hairdressing services, allowing residents to enjoy regular haircuts, styling, and pampering without the need to leave the home.

Having a dedicated salon within the home means residents can maintain their preferred hairstyles in a comfortable and familiar environment. It’s not just about personal care—it’s also a social experience, giving residents a chance to chat, relax, and enjoy a bit of well-deserved self-care and confidence-boosting treatment.

Games & Recreation

We believe that staying active and engaged is key to a happy and fulfilling life. That’s why we offer a variety of games and recreational activities, designed to be fun, stimulating, and social for all our residents. Whether it’s board games, quizzes, bingo, or card tournaments, there’s always something to enjoy.

These activities provide many benefits, from keeping minds sharp and improving coordination to encouraging social interaction and laughter. Games bring residents together, fostering friendships and a sense of community, while also offering a great way to relax and unwind. Whether playing for fun or a little friendly competition, our games and recreation sessions help residents stay engaged, active, and happy.
