Which types of care do we provide?
Porthaven homes are purpose-built and supported by trained teams who can respond to a wide range of care requirements, from day-to-day residential support to nursing, dementia and short-term respite care.
Residential Care
Residential care can be a positive option when everyday tasks at home are becoming harder to manage, or when an older person would value more company, reassurance and support close at hand.
We aim to make daily life comfortable, engaging and personal. Each resident receives support shaped around their routines and preferences, with welcoming surroundings, varied activities and services designed to help them enjoy life on their own terms.
Nursing Care
Qualified and experienced teams are available around the clock in every Porthaven home to provide nursing care whenever it is needed. We support residents with a broad range of health needs, including those who require a higher level of care than can be delivered at home and people living with more complex or specialist conditions such as Parkinson’s, motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis.
Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care
For residents living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, every Porthaven home provides dedicated accommodation with specialist support available 24 hours a day. These areas are designed to combine safety and comfort with a reassuring sense of familiarity.
Dementia can affect memory, communication, behaviour, mobility and confidence in different ways. Our dementia care teams respond with patience, understanding and encouragement, adapting support to the individual so residents can feel secure, respected and involved in daily life.
Respite Care / Short Term Stays
Family carers often need time to rest, manage other responsibilities or take a well-earned break. Respite care offers that opportunity while giving peace of mind that their loved one is being looked after in a supportive and comfortable environment.
Short stays at Porthaven provide the same high standards of care and access to home life as longer-term stays. Guests can settle into welcoming surroundings, take part in activities and receive personalised support while their usual carer has time away.
