Deer Park Care Home is located in the historic market town of Ledbury, on the borders of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, famous for its beginnings as a bishop’s manor and as the birthplace of Poet Laureate, John Masefield. The home is within easy driving reach of attractions such as the Malvern Hills and The Wye Valley, both Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Deer Park Care Home offers 24 hour residential, nursing, dementia and respite care within elegant and spacious surroundings. The home is purpose-built, incorporating many thoughtful and practical features that ensure the comfort and safety of our residents at all times, supporting, not only their differing care requirements, but their social, emotional and physical wellbeing too.

Professional and empathetic care is what Porthaven does best and our team of hand-selected staff are dedicated to the care, comfort and dignity of every single individual. We place a particular emphasis on promoting independence, privacy, respect and wellbeing for all residents.

News & Events at Deer Park

Time in the garden

The weather may have been a bit unpredictable during the first half of this year, but that hasn’t stopped us from taking every opportunity to get outside and enjoy our beautiful gardens! Our Healthcare Assistant Annie, who is a keen gardener, regularly comes into our home on her day off to meet with our residents and discuss what they would like to do in our gardens in preparation for the summer. These discussions are often accompanied by a walk around the garden to gain inspiration!

Blooming Marvellous!

Our residents always look forward to their monthly flower arranging classes with Chris, and as we stepped into spring several of our ladies enjoyed an Easter-themed session crafting some wonderful yellow chicks! 

Observing Chris’s kind and caring approach, it is no surprise to learn that she was a nurse for over 15 years, specialising in cancer nursing and nursing for the elderly. When she retired, Chris took up flower arranging, initially starting with church flowers before qualifying as a flower arranging teacher and judge. Chris has been running her monthly sessions at our home for almost two years and says she always looks forward to seeing our residents have fun with flowers.

With a degree in dementia science, Paula’s vast experience means that all of our residents can enjoy a holistic, person-centred experience when they enter the salon. In fact, Paula and Charlotte are so popular in our home that our residents and their loved ones often book appointments together!
