SERVICE DETAILS
A restful home
Cosy and caring, Marian House is one of our smaller homes. It’s set within the Grange, a highly desirable part of Edinburgh and is decorated in neutral and calming colours throughout to reflect the tranquillity of the area. Its lovely sheltered walled garden is a place for quiet contemplation or enjoyment with friends and is part covered so you can appreciate it come rain or shine. It’s directly accessed from the main lounge via French doors and the grassed spaces, trees and a sensory area are a favourite with the residents.
Marian House is an inviting, friendly home with a flexible programme of activities for all to enjoy. Whether tending to the vegetable patch, a morning in the Craft Café, or out and about in one of our regular bus trips, the choice is yours.
