Ideally located in a spacious and leafy site with panoramic views of surrounding hills and woodland, Porthaven’s care home, Lavender Oaks, sits proudly on Metcalfe Avenue, off Woodmansterne Road. As well as providing excellent care for the residents of Carshalton, our home is a very popular home for many residents of surrounding villages and towns such as Woodcote, Chipstead and Banstead.

Lavender Oaks provides 24 hour residential, nursing, dementia and respite care for the elderly in an elegant and spacious home incorporating numerous thoughtful and practical features which ensure our home is able to meet the changing needs of its residents.

Porthaven’s expertly trained and professional staff are dedicated to the care, comfort and dignity of all our residents, with special emphasis given to promoting independence, privacy, respect and wellbeing.

Residents benefit from living in a caring environment with generously appointed private bedrooms with en suite wetrooms, and plentiful communal living areas including sitting rooms, restaurants, a café, cinema, hairdressing salon and nail bar, activities and wellbeing room and private dining room for special family occasions.

In keeping with our unique and award winning activities and wellbeing philosophy, our residents also benefit from our private and secure landscaped garden for peaceful relaxation, gardening and if the weather permits, gentle exercising.

News & Events at Lavender Oaks

A trip to Denbies Vineyard

To mark Drink Wine Day, earlier in the year we took a trip to Denbies Vineyard for a look around their fascinating facilities. Our residents learnt more about the history of the vineyard before enjoying a wine tasting of their best red and white wines, which was a brilliant experience to take part in. For our residents who chose to stay at home, our marvellous team prepared a cheese and wine evening for all to enjoy!

Spreading the love

Our residents felt a warm glow in their hearts this Valentine’s Day as we reminisced on famous couples in music and cinema history with the ever-popular Tim from Dawson Talks. Afterwards, we had a love song singalong and discussed our favourite romantic moments from different films, which included ‘Gone with the Wind’ and ‘The King and I’. Finally, our Home Manager Maria decided to spread even more joy by presenting each of our residents with a beautiful red rose.
