Great care home. My mum was here for 7 weeks respite care, and I was very impressed by the overall care provided. Firstly, the building - this is a very modern purpose-built home, well laid out with separate floors for residents depending on their needs (floor for residents with dementia; those who are more independent; and less independent). This is very well thought through and works well. Secondly, the food - it's very good. Varied and interesting menu, and good quality. Thirdly, the staff - Portobello seems to be able to... read more

Private dining. Absolutely fantastic service from the maintenance manager and the head chef for the private dining at such short notice. Very much appreciated. Excellent food and great service. Well done to these two particular members of staff.

Thank you very much for your lovely review based on your recent private dining experience. I will thank both our chef and our maintenance manager who were able to help you. We are very lucky to have such a lovely private dining room in our beautiful home. Please feel free to book the room at any time.
My mother, in her nineties, was a resident for over three months. She was very well cared for. Portobello Place is very clean and spacious, with excellent facilities. An extensive programme of activities is available, including several well-being options. The food is of high quality, with daily changing menus offering lots of variety. The staff at all levels were consistently helpful, kind and friendly, attentive and on call 24 hours. My mother was very happy with her care throughout her stay. We would highly recommend.

My dad, who has Alzheimer's, has been at Portobello Place since August having previously been in another care home for a short period of time. The difference in our experience is immeasurable from the previous home. Portobello Place has been amazing right from the start. The team worked quickly to have my dad transferred from the previous home, they listened carefully to our concerns and put a tailored plan in place so we felt comfortable. Dad is not the easiest of people particularly given his condition, but Portobello Plac... read more

We pride ourselves in ensuring every individual receives a tailored approach and so I hope you never hesitate to let us know how we can continue to best serve your dad.
My father has been at Portobello since January 2021. While our early experiences of the care home were extremely frustrating, we have noticed a significant improvement in the quality of care over the last 2-3 months. My father has reached the end of life stage and following a week in hospital he returned to the home on November 6th. The staff have been wonderful to both my father and us, his daughters. They have listened to our wishes regarding our father's care, as he is not now able to make decisions for himself and we hav... read more

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a positive review. As a new home 3 years ago, we appreciate the possible frustrations you would have experienced. But the team are delighted to hear that you have noticed the significant improvement in your father's care. Your father added a very special something to Portobello Place and it's been a delight caring for him.
My father has been at Portobello Place for 8 months now; he immediately felt at home right from the start and his overall well-being has improved noticeably during his time here. It ticks so many boxes for him and for us as his family; making new friendships, having regular trips out, along with exercise classes (Tai Chi and Qigong!) which have all helped to give him plenty to look forward to each week. The food is superb at Portobello and I know that this is another highlight of each day for him; we are able to join him for... read more

Everyone has made my mum feel very welcome and comfortable. I have been made to feel very confident that she has received the best care.
Business response:
Thank you for the review. It was an absolute pleasure caring for your mum, getting to know her and the family during the stay. We're so happy to hear that you were pleased with our facilities and felt confident with the care provided at Portobello Place.
Here for respite care, I have been able to observe whether I would like to return later as a permanent resident and the answer is yes! I have watched and listened to the kindness shown by staff to everyone. The infinite patience and the attention to detail, always going the extra mile to help and support their patients. Thank you everyone! Varied and delicious food too/interesting menu.
Business response:
Thank you for the lovely review. It was a pleasure caring and getting to know you during your respite stay. We look forward to welcoming you again!
This can only be a snapshot rather than a review as I have only spent three weeks here. On arrival I was immediately made to feel welcome, shown to my accommodation, the bistros, lounges and happy areas being picked out. There are plenty of helpful staff to guide if needed and I was given a copy of the weekly calendar with all the daily activities. Between events, there is time to spend in the bistros where there is a supply of good quality food and drinks. Time is passing quickly and I am so pleased that I have become a mem... read more
