Here at Porthaven Care Homes, we are proud to support Brew Monday 🍵

We know how important it is to stay connected with those we care about, so every day at 3pm our team members pause what they are doing to spend one-on-one time with our residents. Whether going for a walk in the garden, playing a game of chess or enjoying a simple cup of tea, these moments of connection are beneficial for everybody.

At Porthaven, our homes are open to all, so if you are ever in the area, why not pop in and enjoy a brew with our team or residents? You will always receive a warm welcome! 👋🏻

If you are ever feeling down, you can speak to a Samaritans team member 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by calling 116 123 📞

Last week, we enjoyed a wonderful trip to the Steam - Museum of the Great Western Railway.

It was a fascinating day out exploring the rich railway history of the Great Western Railway, with so much to see. Many of our residents enjoyed reminiscing and sharing memories, while others loved learning something new.🚂✨

Last night, we hosted our relatives’ meeting a little differently - with a relaxed cheese and wine evening.

It was a pleasure to welcome everyone and spend time chatting in a more informal setting. A big thank you to our hosts for the evening – Sue, our Regional Director; Rachael, our Home Manager; and Alice, our Deputy Manager.

Thank you to all the relatives who joined us, we really appreciate you taking the time to come along and be part of our Savernake View community. 💙🧀🍷
