Portsdown View

Portsdown View is nestled between Langstone Harbour and Portsdown Hill. It is a luxury, state-of-the-art care home that is beautifully designed to be a warm and welcoming space. It's been specifically designed to bring new levels of luxury care to its residents, with an ambition to create a new generation of care homes that set new standards in service and offer all their residents premium facilities

Portsdown View offers 71 superbly comfortable private bedrooms, along with stylish shared rooms for dining and entertaining, plus many private relaxation areas. In addition to this, there is a Bistro, cinema room, health spa and a range of outdoor terraces and beautifully landscaped gardens.

The residents living at Portsdown View all require varying levels of care from residential and respite to a more tailored level of support for those living with dementia, therefore the interior design had to be sympathetic to the needs of all residents and staff.

To deliver a luxury, yet inclusive interior design, Connaught Care enlisted the assistance of Three Nine Design to create schemes that would bring their vision to life and to expertly select materials that would be fit for purpose and add that luxury element.

Three Nine Design selected Tones and Evolve from the Equinox Collection and Manhattan, Origin and Scape from Evolution, in a variety of colours. This selection of carpets allowed Three Nine Design to create various fabulous schemes and provide areas that would work for all residents’ needs.

The stylish yet homely décor and design create a premium yet comfortable feel to this home. The use of the Equinox Collection creates an inclusive environment whilst the carpets from the Evolution Collection help to deliver that premium look and feel. Connaught Care required carpets that had been engineered to perform in demanding environments and provide the following key features:

• Extreme durability– The Evolution Collection is certified to British Standard classification 33 “Heavy Commercial Use” enabling it to withstand high volumes of foot and wheeled traffic and intense commercial cleaning. Making the ranges ideal for corridors and communal areas.
• Antimicrobial yarn treatment– Both of the Collections have been developed to include Bi-Ome®, an innovative antimicrobial treatment that is designed to kill harmful bacteria including those that can cause MRSA and E. coli.
• Appearance Retention– Manufactured using solution dyed Nylon and Polypropylene yarns, both the Evolution and Equinox Collection offer a locked-in colourfast system that ensures superior colour and light-fastness even when subject to harsh cleaning chemicals.
• Spill safe– All of the selected carpets have an integral protective membrane, preventing liquid spills from penetrating through to the subfloor, reducing contamination, fungal growth, and unpleasant odours.
• Naturally Sound absorbent– danfloor carpets have great sound absorption qualities, achieving more than 28dB reduction in sound impact levels, which helps to create a “therapeutic environment” in which people can relax and communicate effectively.
• DSDC Approved Colours – Stirling University has reviewed several of our ranges and has awarded all the colours from Equinox Tones and Evolve as suitable for use within dementia design.
