About The Cottage
Located on Milton Road East, The Cottage has been welcoming clients since the 1980s.
The club’s home is a converted stable block which has two cosy sitting rooms and is surrounded by extensive grounds.
The club runs every weekday and just 10 clients join us each day, meaning that our amazing team of care workers alongside our dedicated volunteers, can provide the highest quality care and support.
How to get a place at The Cottage
Join us privately:
We provide places that are arranged on a private basis for anyone aged 50 and over. Places are easily accessed. No referral is necessary just contact us direct.
Access a subsidised place:
Subsidised places are available to anyone aged 65 and over. While a significant proportion of the cost of the service is subsidised by the City of Edinburgh Council, you would pay a monthly mandatory contribution, set by the City of Edinburgh Council, which is reviewed annually. Get in touch with
Social Care Direct
on 0131 200 2324 or ask a health or social care professional to refer you.
