We maintain a safe, homely and stimulating environment while ensuring a high level of care and supervision. We do everything we can to ensure that life in our care homes does not add restrictions for our residents. Portelet Care manages four residential care homes located in the lovely seaside town of Bournemouth - Portelet Cottage, Portelet House, Portelet Lodge and Portelet Manor.
All the homes are situated in pleasant residential areas, walking distance to shops, library, G.P Surgeries and other amenities. Three of the homes are situated a stones throw away from the beautiful beaches Bournemouth has to offer.

Services
We ensure a high level of care and supervision over a 24 hour period to meet the needs to the resident. We preserve dignity, to maintain and improve the quality of each residents life by setting achievable goals. We minimise the degree of challenging behaviour for each individual by using the most proactive (and least restrictive) approach.
Home cooking is provided and all dietary needs can be catered for after consultation with each individual client. A cooked breakfast is available on request and our daily menu is displayed for all to see and to familiarise themselves with. A mobile library service with large print books is available, with the main library only located 50 metres away from the properties.
At both of our homes we cater specifically for people who have all forms of dementia, from poor or short-term memory to personality disorder and depression. Dementia affects approximately one in every 20 people over 65 and one in five over the age of 80. It is a non-specific illness in which an individual suffers a significant loss of cognitive ability, which may impact attention, language, memory and problem solving.
We admit and care for our clients without discrimination of gender, age or religion as part of a multidisplinary team who assist in meeting the hollistic needs of each inidividual within the home. Other members include Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN), Consultant Phychiastrist, Care Managers, Social Workers and GP's.
