Margaret Russell is The Home Manager at Belleville Lodge Nursing Home.
Belleville Lodge is a beautiful stone villa with a sympathetic modern extension, set within award-winning private walled gardens.
Belleville Lodge offers space for up to 25 residents, including some twin rooms. It is managed by Matron Margaret Russell and her team.
COMMUNITY Belleville Lodge is home to many people from a wide range of backgrounds, and has a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The home is an established part of the local community, with good links to the local churches and in-house church services twice a month. The neighbours enjoy coming round for the annual garden party, and residents also have regular visits from local school children for arts and crafts activities and concerts.
The location in the heart of Edinburgh makes it easy for residents to enjoy theatre shows and art gallery visits, as well as the Edinburgh arts festivals. Friends and family are welcome to join us for outings and afternoon tea, and we help residents to use Skype to keep in touch with family further afield.
