New home now open!
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.

View the full Deer Park activities listingIn July our residents enjoyed weekly visits from a number of Ledbury Primary School pupils, an initiative organised by Rachel Freeman from Everybody Dance Company and facilitated by the Community Action Ledbury minibus. Every Monday the children joined our residents for a catch up and walk around our gardens. It has been fantastic watching our residents and the pupils bond as they share their life stories, hobbies and interests, and we hope to welcome them back soon!

So in June ten of our residents picked out the best spots for their sunflowers and worked alongside the wonderful Beth from John Masefield Sixth Form to delicately transport them into the soil. Our resident Pam, whose flower is currently measuring in at just under 5ft, is hoping her sunflower will have what it takes to tower above the rest and win us the competition!

During the event, Charlotte and Tash explained how Dementia Matters supports individuals living with dementia in remaining a part of the Ledbury community through a range of services. This includes the use of their outreach van, buddying scheme and provision of one-to-one support. Attendees also spent time learning more about the meaning behind Dementia Action Week and how important it is to ‘act on dementia’ by seeking assistance from a medical professional if you suspect you or somebody close to you may be experiencing symptoms of dementia. Thank you for joining us Charlotte and Tash!
