My mother has been here for several months, and it has been so good for her. Her whole life has been changed. My mother is happy, smiley and loves every day! The best move she has ever made.

Portsdown View is an outstanding caring home in our local area which I highly recommend. The staff are fantastic and go the extra mile to understand the needs of residents.

My husband and I plus 2 grandchildren attended the Madhatters Tea party today at Portsdown View. As always it was a fabulous event. The food was fantastic and the staff couldn't do enough to keep us all happy and comfortable. The singer was lovely too. All in all this is a fantastic home which I
would highly recommend to anyone requiring care and company in their twilight years.

The home was so welcoming. It was clean, warm and friendly. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, they did all they could to make everything comfortable for the residents. The food was lovely and it was nice to be able to eat with mum during her stay.

I came to the care home for recovery and respite from a replacement hip operation on 14/1/26 for 2 weeks and 3 days. I needed to work on my exercises to improve the muscle strength around the hip. I was on the dementia floor, but I did not mind this, as I was there to do "my own thing". It was a
pity the care home had an outbreak which prevented full use of the bistro area of the home, but I consider this fortunate, I was in the isolated upper floor, since I did not catch it. All the staff were friendly, considerate and helpful, and the respite has prepared me well to look after myself at home. I can recommend this home.

My father was unwell in January.
The staff, notably Hayley and Donna were absolutely marvelous. Both members of staff contacted me and kept me updated regarding his care and plan.
I didn't want him to go to hospital because I believe the care the staff are able to provide at Portsdown would be
much more beneficial to anything the hospital would be able to do.
I wanted him kept safe and comfortable.
This is what they did and did it well.
I have nothing to say but thanks to all involved with looking after my dad.

Excellent service from a top class care home. My father was in Portsdown View from January to November 2025 and he could not have been in a better place. The staff are first class, very friendly and helpful. Plenty of
varied activities to keep the residents entertained. An exceptional care home.

Portsdown View has created a safe and nurturing environment for my father since June. I have felt listened to by staff and they have acted on any concerns including medication or diet. The house staff keep the care home clean and tidy. The care staff show they know Dad well and support him well with
personal hygiene and interaction. There has been a blip with no one heading events recently but a new lady started yesterday.

From the moment we stepped into the home, we felt that we were in a comfortable environment where the residents are treated as an individual. Each room is designed differently. The food for residents and visitors is excellent. The hospitality from the team is truly exceptional. There is choice with
everything from decor to food to entertainment. The resident is truly independent and they are able to show hospitality with family and friends. The wine!! Delicious. Helathy choice in food. All the managers are kind and very approachable. Thank you for everything. Well done! PS Difficult to get in at times, problem with doors.

The staff are always positive and friendly. There is usually 2 activities going on at any time for residents to join in. Having coffee and cake available for guests and residents is a lovely touch. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Your staff are wonderful. Richard, my uncle, has dementia but is happy and relaxed. It is miserable being in his situation, but he is sustained by the care your team give him. Thank you.

Overall my stay at Portsdown View could not be bettered. All staff - carers, kitchen people, housekeepers, cleaning teams. Each person is always ready with a big smile and help if needed. They even remember all our names! To my friends I call Portsdown View my hotel! Thank you all of you.

My nan has been a resident at portsdown view for over a year now, after being apprehensive about moving from her home to a care setting, as a family we couldn't be more pleased. Staff at portsdown view are like a second family to nan and went above and beyond to ensure she settled and have continued
to do so since to make sure she is happy and comfortable.

Portsdown View Care Home came highly recommended to me for a period of respite care following major surgery. The experience was entirely new and can only be described as a relaxed, friendly hotel. Every facility is provided, from hairdressing, barbers, and beauty salon. Various dining rooms, a
bistro and a lovely room for entertaining family and friends. Everywhere tastefully decorated, encouraging people to mix. The staff were friendly and caring, but like everywhere also found themselves overworked at times. My experience gave me all I needed, peace, time to read and sleep. Would highly recommend.

My life long friend spent the last days of her life being cared for with the upmost respect, compassion and professionalism from all the staff she encountered. Daily I witnessed the kindness, affection and support she received from a total team, regardless of appointed roles. Connaught management
can be justly proud of their staff who will always go beyond the letter of their contracts. The final journey my friend took was in peace, pain free and total comfort, in a tranquil environment, for which I will always be eternally grateful.

We had to make the decision to seek a care home for my elderly mother in law. I started my search using CQC website. From our initial contact to moving in. I continue to be impressed with the professional and caring way we have treated. The whole process has been smooth and communication has been
open and regular. I am grateful for the help and personal service that we have received from Portsdown view.
The rooms are beautifully furnished, the entrance is fresh and welcoming. Staff stop to say hello, residents all present as being well respected and listened to. The choice of activities and the menu options are outstanding.
The process of placing a loved one into residential care is stressful and heart wrenching, however with the support and kindness of Portsdown view I am confident that my family member will thrive and as a family we will be reassured that they are safe, happy and cared for.

We were visiting a friend and had a lovely tea and tour around the home. The facilities are more like a first class hotel. Very impressive and everyone was very friendly and helpful.
