Our Building and Facilities

Well-designed, fully equipped, spacious, safe, warm, and comfortable buildings are not everything when it comes to care homes, but they are very important.

Not only Tonbridge House but every Porthaven home has been designed by leading care home architects and designers. They significantly exceed not only other care homes in terms of design standards but also regulatory standards. Practical and safety features have been thoughtfully incorporated into each home to ensure our residents benefit from the best of current innovations in care home design.


At Porthaven, we are house-proud, too. All areas of Tonbridge House Care Home are always kept clean and fresh for everyone's benefit. Our landscaped gardens are always carefully tended so our residents and relatives can enjoy pottering in the garden in the morning or afternoon.
