As a student nurse it can be very daunting passing from one placement to the next and feeling like the odd one out. The staff at Marian House have made me feel thoroughly welcomed - from the nurses to the carers, the activities co-ordinators, and the domestics and kitchen staff. The high standards of care towards all residents - showing compassion and dignity, following policies, and clear respect amongst all employees ( and towards students ), have made this care home an absolute pleasure to work at. Thank you all. I will miss you!

Marion house is a 35 bedroom care home. The home is run by Viewpoint housing association.The home has two floors 2 dinning rooms 2 lounge areas, a large garden. There is Wi fi facility throughout the home as well. viewpoint history We are an award-winning provider of supported housing and care services for older people in Edinburgh, the Lothian's and Fife. Established in 1947, our primary objective is to improve the quality of life and well being of our tenants and care home residents through promoting independence, enabling choice and offering peace of mind in a safe and supported environment. We are registered with the Scottish Housing Regulator as a Registered Social Landlord and as a charity with the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR). Viewpoint was founded in 1947 in response to the post World War housing shortage. In those days women had very little domiciliary rights and were therefore particularly affected during this time. In response to the plight of homeless women, Miss Jane Cunningham, the daughter of a local minister, purchased a flat in Rutland Square with the aid of a building society loan. Miss Cunningham also let out part of her own flat as apartment-rooms to single women. It was at this stage that it was suggested she should form a committee to manage the properties. The first committee, established in 1947, comprised of eight like-minded women. They were to call themselves the Viewpoint Housing Society. As its original tenants grew older, Viewpoint recognised the need for a variety of housing schemes designed specifically to meet the requirements of older people, such as sheltered housing through to 24-hour care. In addition to catering for older people, Viewpoint also introduced amenity and general needs housing for those below retirement age There is 24HR nursing care by registered RGNS the care assistants are put through training at SVQ level. Marion house has a very home feeling about it the residents there are well looked after.The grading from the care commission are of good standard and the standards are kept high by the staff .The cleanliness of the home is kept to a very high standard.Marion house is dementia friendly.I would recommend this home.
