About
Viewpark is a 21-bed care home in Portobello, in the City of Edinburgh, that provides care for people living with dementia. The home overlooks a historic community garden and occupies a homely building. According to the home, staff take time to learn each resident's preferences, routines and life story, and they work closely with residents and their families. Residents are supported to keep their independence and to enjoy company with others.
The Care Inspectorate, which regulates the home, graded how well people's wellbeing is supported as Very good, and the staff team and leadership as Very good too. It graded how care and support is planned, and the setting, as Good.
