My father moved into Cluny Lodge in January 2024. What a wonderful place, with amazing staff. He is so lucky to have moved there, and it has taken so much worry from me as well. Everyone in our family and friends too who have visited have commented on how impressed they are with Cluny, and especially
with the staff.
They treat everyone with respect and I really am so grateful for the care they give my father every day.

My mother moved from home to Cluny Lodge early in 2022. She had a non severe but progressive dementia. The care and treatment she received at Cluny Lodge was exceptional from start to finish. All aspects of maintenance and care are first class. Her room was beautifully decorated, spacious and always
spotlessly clean. The standard of medical and general care was gentle and thorough. I honestly cannot think of a single time when I felt anything wasn't dealt with perfectly. They staff were proactive in including the family if they had any concerns and they supported us sensitively when my mother finally left us on her 95th birthday.

I have been extremely impressed with the exceptional care that my mother receives in this home. The staff and management are extremely professional, friendly and caring. My mother has settled easily and often admires her surroundings. The staff are excellent at keeping my mother comfortable and go
out of their way to try to meet her every need whether it is trying out equipment, adjusting her diet or medication. The new namaste sessions which involves massages, gentle music and calming scents have been very beneficial for my mother. They employ their own nutritionists and physiotherapists which means these needs are easily met in-house. There is always different staff popping in for a friendly chat or just making sure she is ok. The manager is very open and friendly and is very proactive at looking for any possible improvements. She is very visible within the home and knows each resident. I am kept very well informed about my mother's health and feel we are all part of one big family.

Reply from Cheryl Henderson, Marketing Manager at Cluny Lodge

We are so pleased that your experience has been so positive. We are keen to hear from people involved in the service we provide, to know how else we can develop. One of these ways has been Namaste Care, so we are delighted to hear these have been beneficial too.

My father suffered 2 strokes in late 2020, and after he was discharged from hospital in Edinburgh we had to find a care home at short notice. That turned out to be Cluny Lodge and how lucky were we that it was!
From Day 1, the level of care, attention and hospitality my father received was first rate.
That
despite dad arriving in February 2021 when COVID was in full swing.
Sadly, dad passed away after a short illness in September this year. 7-8 staff attended dad's funeral which says a lot. He had been resident in Cluny for 3 and a half years.
It's hard to single out anybody but special mentions are due to the Unit Manager; Staff Nurses; and 4 other staff members in particular. Also the Entertainment Team; the minibus driver; and a staff member on reception; - and all the Cluny Kitchen staff (dad loved his food!).
All under the watchful eye of the inimitable, the Group Care Home Manager.
Thank you for everything from all the family.

Reply from Cheryl Henderson, Marketing Manager at Cluny Lodge

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review. It is so good to know that you feel Cluny Lodge was the right place for your father and we were privileged to know him. We are grateful that you have mentioned so many different staff too - it really does take a team to support those who live here, and their families. Something the staff do so well.

I had to find a care home for my mum's school friend three years ago after she had a mild stroke which meant she couldn't manage on her own at home any more. She always wanted to die of a heart attack on her beloved golf course and avoid ever having to live in a home, but a stroke caught up with her
before that happened. I still can't believe how lucky I was to find her a room in Cluny Lodge Nursing Home.
From the day she moved in to Cluny Lodge, every member of staff took time to get to know her well and treated her with dignity, respect and above all, care of the highest quality. She was always very happy living there and when the time came for end of life care the staff were absolutely fantastic.
Thank you all so much for looking after a dear old lady so very well.

My Dad was a resident in Cluny Lodge Care Home for nearly 3 years until 2012 and my Mum for over 1 year until 2024. Both were looked after exceptionally well and so were my family and me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cluny Lodge to anyone needing or having relatives needing extra care.
I would find it very difficult to find anywhere better than Cluny Lodge.

My Dad came to Cluny Lodge in January for restbite as my Mum was unwell.
We were as a family worried my Dad would not adjust to being in a care home!
However, to our surprise, he loves it and is still there 6 months on and very settled.
The nurses and staff are fantastic with my Dad and he is enjoying
all the attention! There are lots of activities to keep his mind busy and again the staff are so attentive to all the residents individually.
My Dad loves music so they encourage him to play his mouth organ, he loves to sing and has watched the nurses and carers all sing along with him.
It's a home from home and just like one big family.
The staff are all amazing and with my Mum too who visits most days.
The cleanliness and hygiene are impeccable.
Can't praise Cluny Lodge high enough its just excellent.

We are so pleased that this huge decision for you all as a family, is working well. Music is a great thing and one we are committed to using more within both of our homes. Many thanks for taking the time to put this review in.

Our mum stayed at Cluny Lodge for 3.5 years. Throughout that time she received exceptional care and attention from the whole team - Nursing, Caring, Leisure, and Housekeeping staff alike. There is a high ratio of skilled and experienced staff to meet the needs of the residents. Everyone is very welcoming,
with a smile. Always time for a chat.
The kindness and compassion that was shown to our mum as she neared the end was second to none. Thank you

My mother lived at Cluny Lodge for three and a half years. She was unwell when she first arrived and had some tricky medical complications, but she was quickly made to feel at home and the fantastic staff soon had her medical needs stabilised. She was very happy at Cluny, through a healthy diet, attending
exercise classes and going to the many social events on offer she blossomed and relaxed into life there knowing that the staff were looking after her every need. She loved sitting in the summer sunshine in the garden and I loved doing that with her too. We also enjoyed going out to nearby coffee shops and walking in the local area. As her daughter, I was also made very welcome to visit whenever I wanted and I too was made to feel part of the Cluny family. Mum made some lovely friends from both the staff and other residents. Her time at Cluny was certainly very happy and for that, I cannot praise the staff highly enough.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this review. It's so good to know that not only was your mother happy here, but that you were able to continue your walks and coffee shop outings during her stay.

My mother spent around 4 years at Cluny Lodge and in that time received a very high standard of care and support now withstanding the difficulty presented by covid. Cluny Lodge not only provides care and nursing facilities but also a wide range of activities, and organized trips and takes the trouble
to celebrate Christmas and other celebrations such as Burns Night with regular celebratory etc. The building and garden are kept in very good order and there is a strong and dedicated management team.

My mother passed away on 24th December 2023 bringing to a close some 10 years of care for both my parents. My father died, in the care of Cluny Lodge in 2019 after six years of impeccable care, kindness and professional support. My parents had adjacent rooms for three years allowing more time together
despite their illnesses and frailty. Mother enjoyed four more years of a happy and fulfilled life passing peacefully at the age of 95. There can't be anywhere else that provided such a caring environment delivered by special and exceptional care staff and managers.

We looked at quite a few care homes before choosing Cluny Lodge. The atmosphere is welcoming and homely, yet all areas are pristine and have more than a touch of luxury. The nursing staff and carers are all skilled, friendly, patient and compassionate, but everyone I have come across who works there
has a ready smile and a cheerful ‘hello’, which is so important. My husband has quite complex needs and they are all met extremely well. His room is stylish and spacious and was newly decorated before he moved in. Friends and family who visit are all impressed too. It was a hard decision to make, but the family and I now all agree it was definitely the right one.

I cannot recommend Cluny Lodge more highly. My sister lived there for 14 months during which she was cared for by a wonderful, compassionate, caring and highly professional team. They worked hard to ensure that her quality of life was as good as it could be, encouraging and supporting her to attend
the many different activities that are on offer, and ensuring that she was comfortable and eating good nutritious food that she would enjoy. Visitors were always welcome. Our family lives at a distance, so the staff took great trouble to ensure that we were kept up to date at all times, and to get her set up with video calls on her tablet so that we could keep in touch.
It was a huge comfort to us all, in the last days, to know that she was being nursed and cared for by a wonderful team that had known her since she first moved in.
Her room was lovely, bright and cheery, and always spotlessly clean.
Thank you to everyone in the Balmoral team at Cluny.

Cluny Lodge supported my mum in care for over eight years, involving her in the many activities provided, encouraging participation in discussions and group mealtimes, which kept her mobile and interested in others and current affairs. Mum felt safe and developed close and friendly relationships with
many of the staff, which was so important for her, and for the wider family to see. Mum was always encouraged to share any concerns she might have and these were heard and addressed. Latterly Cluny Lodge provided superb support and compassionate care when her health declined. It has been a comfort and relief to know that Mum was so well cared for and we are so grateful to all the staff for their kind and professional approach.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.963)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.963) out of 10 for Cluny Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.963 for Cluny Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.963

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cluny Lodge is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

As the Group Care Home Manager, I am deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of care and support, fostering a homely and welcoming environment for residents. Leveraging my wealth of experience, I lead a dedicated team to ensure an unparalleled level of service that goes beyond expectations.


Beyond the professional sphere, I enjoy reading, I am a passionate traveller, and cherish moments spent with loved ones. These personal pursuits enrich my life and contribute to a holistic perspective that I bring to my role as a caretaker and manager.

Part of my role is to support staff from their induction and throughout their progress within Elder Homes. This includes developing and delivering relevant training around all subjects, with a particular focus on dementia and end of life care. It is a privilege to watch staff grow in knowledge and confidence and know that this will help continue to deliver the best quality care to those we support. Within my role I also support family members and students, during their time connected to Elder Homes.


Growing up I always wanted to be a nurse or a teacher – I now get to do both! I trained as a nurse in the West Midlands, a long time ago, then moved up to Edinburgh in 1992, where I ‘fell into’ care home nursing but realised I loved it.


We recently moved out of Edinburgh and I am loving exploring Midlothian with my 2 year old dog, Bonnie

Albanian by origin, I embarked on a new chapter in Scotland in 2009. In Albania, I worked as a notary assistant for nearly 3 years. Since 2012, I’ve been working for Elder Homes LTD, starting as a Domestic Assistant and now flourishing as a Hotel Services Supervisor. The genuine joy derived from this work is why I continue to thrive in this environment. Balancing this with motherhood to my vibrant 8-year-old son, my family is my anchor. In my leisure, I immerse myself in the beauty of nature through hiking and cycling, find solace in the pages of books, and enjoy the thrill of various sports like tennis and volleyball.
