It specialised in long term and respite care for elderly people who had experienced a stroke or those with dementia. HistoryCorstorphine Convalescent Home was built in the 1860s and extended in the 1890s. It was also known as the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary Convalescent Home. In 2014, the health board considered proposals to demolish the hospital and three others, with a view to replacing these facilities with care villages which would consist of buildings more suited to social care.
