The 28 with grades from Care Inspectorate, counted by their lowest grade across the key questions graded. Care Inspectorate gives no overall grade; the lowest grade is a figure it publishes itself. Grades are in Care Inspectorate’s own words, and we never turn them into a score of our own.
A service with no grades may be new, or Care Inspectorate may not have graded it yet. What the ratings mean.

There are 29 day care services in the City of Edinburgh registered with the Care Inspectorate, the regulator of care services in Scotland.
27 of the 28 with grades from the Care Inspectorate (96%) have Good, Very good or Excellent as their lowest grade across the key questions graded. 1 has no grades shown, usually because the Care Inspectorate has not graded it yet. Care Inspectorate data as at 31 August 2026. In Scotland, the Care Inspectorate grades each service on a six-point scale, from Excellent to Unsatisfactory, for each key question that applies to its type of service. It gives no overall grade, so we do not show one. We show each grade as the Care Inspectorate publishes it and never turn it into a score of our own.
Start with the help the person needs now and might need later, and shortlist a few services near the people who will visit. Check each one’s latest Care Inspectorate grades and how old it is, read its latest inspection report, and where you can, visit or meet the team more than once before you decide. Ask what is included in the fees and what happens if needs change. This is general information, not advice.
It depends on the person’s needs and finances. Some people pay for all of their own care, some get help from their council, and the NHS pays for some health care. The first step is to ask your local council for a free assessment of care needs: that is the council’s social work service. We do not show prices and this is general information, not advice.
This page uses Care Inspectorate data as at 31 August 2026. We check for new data from the regulator every day, and each service page shows the date of the data it uses.
A day care service is a place you go to for part of the day, for company, activities and support, and then go home. Adult day care is registered with the regulator in Scotland and Northern Ireland. In England and Wales day centres are not registered with the regulator, so they are not listed here.
Whoever ends up paying, you can ask your council’s adult social care team for a free assessment of what help you need. Our guide explains what to expect and what to ask.
