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

Welcome to Deer Park, Rosie!

A big welcome to Rosie, who volunteered here with us at our Deer Park Care Home for three weeks during August. She worked alongside Paula, from Dignity & Grace, as a hairdressing and beauty assistant. 

Rosie has already completed a Level 2 in Beauty Therapy at Herefordshire College, and during her volunteer placement offered complimentary manicures, pedicures, and hand massages to our residents. 

In September, Rosie is hoping to become a fully-fledged member of Dignity & Grace and continue her placement here at Deer Park while studying her Level 3 in Beauty Therapy.

We love having you on board, Rosie. And, for those of you who did not already know, Rosie is the third member of her family to join us at Deer Park. Her mum, Tina, and brother, Dan, are beloved members of our kitchen team!

The Venus Midnight Walk

On Friday the 11th of July, our Administrator, Sarah, and a group of friends joined hundreds of other female walkers to take part in the St Michael’s Hospice Venus Midnight Walk!

This popular annual event is now in its 17th year and is a female walk around Hereford, adorned in pink. This intrepid group of ladies lit up the streets of Hereford with their sea of pink, walking together for an evening of remembrance and fun. 

With music and a vibrant summer evening atmosphere, it was a truly magical experience for all those who took part.

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!
