Care Homes Owned by Anchor in Devon

Friend is a resident of many years, Jenifer, 94 yrs. Wonderful place to be, the care is amazing, the manager and staff are absolutely the best. I'm forever grateful that my mother lived here in the past, and Jenifer lives here and is very happy and blessed for all the activities and extra care they get here!

My mum has been a resident at the home for 15 months, and recently had her 99th birthday. Unfortunately her mobility is very poor, with her sustaining many falls. The staff have been very attentive to her many needs, and should be commended for the care they give.

They treated him with empathy and dignity. He is now a permanent resident and under their care is now happier and thriving.

When mum arrived at Selkirk House care home after a lengthy stay in hospital after a fall, she was very confused and really not sure if permanent residential care was right for her. Here we are a few months later and mum is settled and happy to be in the home. Yes, her eating habits are somewhat poor, and she is paranoid about her possessions in her room, but she realises that she is in the best place. She likes and gets on with the staff members. Over the last few weeks she has started walking down to a few of the daily events. Well done to everyone at the home and thank you.

Selkirk House and staff continue to be the best I have experienced and the continued investment in training, facilities and comfort for residents is evident everywhere. Selkirk has a fabulous culture and it is noticeable that very good selection is made when staffing the premises. My mum is so content and this comes from well cared for and feeling safe 24/7. I feel supported 24/7 to support and continue to aid mum where I can.

I love visiting my granny at Selkirk. The staff are so lovely and it gives me peace of mind to know that she is well looked after and feels happy and safe.

Cosy and welcoming!

So pleased we used Selkirk House. The staff are so caring and friendly and the staff to resident ratio is excellent. Great choice of daily activities for all to enjoy. The food is varied and very good with lots of coffee and biscuits in between. Very well run good communication with relatives. Very, very pleased.

I am very happy that my mum is a resident at Selkirk House. I feel confident that she is cared for in a compassionate and professional manner appropriate to her needs. I feel I am able to speak with managers and staff about any concerns and I will be heard. The activities offered are varied and I am confident that, despite her infirmity, they ensure my mum's life in Selkirk. Selkirk House is a lovely place, staffed by lovely people.

My mum has been a resident at Selkirk for the best part of 3 years now. In that time, mum has received exemplary care from a team of truly wonderful staff. Mum frequently tells me that she feels very lucky to be a resident at Selkirk. She is very happy and knows that she is safe and well cared for. It is always such a pleasure when visiting mum, to share fun and laughter with staff and other residents. All mums needs are cared for and should any issues arise Selkirk are quick to communicate these to the family. It is very reassuring to know that mum is supportive and with such kindness and care.

Living abroad is not easy when family members are in declining health but we have returned to the UK 5 times over the last 12 months to see mum in Selkirk House. And on every occasion we have felt wonderfully reassured by the care being provided by Kate and her team. Not only are the management, maintenance, upkeep and procedures absolutely of the highest standard, but the kindness and genuine empathy of the team with the residents is something that is wonderful to see. I can not congratulate and thank all the staff at Selkirk House enough, and clearly I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the establishment.

I am so impressed with everything I have seen on my visits! The care shown by every single member of staff has amazed me. The food is high quality, the facilities, entertainment etc is more than I would have expected. But above all the care by the staff is second to none! I am booking myself a room here.

Dad has just moved into Selkirk House following the death of his wife. This was a move of over 100 miles, so a huge change on top of his loss. However this move has been made so much easier and smoother by all staff at Selkirk House.

From the initial contact with the wonderful admin staff to the pre assessment with the deputy manager, we were made to feel so welcome and that Dad's needs and happiness were all that mattered to them. Dad's room was repainted before his arrival and some furniture removed so that he could bring his own bits from home. The room is very spacious, a flat really, with a spacious wet room, two built in wardrobes and a large storage cupboard as well as a kitchen area so Dad can make a drink for himself or visitors if he wants to. Everything is centred around dad, and what he needs and his care plan can be changed at any time to suit him. The meals are amazing, tasty and plenty of choice. Every member of staff we have met are friendly and very happy to help.

"Since my mother-in-law joined Manor Court care home two months ago, we've been consistently impressed by the truly excellent person-centred care she receives. From the very first day, the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness, making what could have been a difficult transition incredibly smooth. It's clear they take the time to understand her unique personality and preferences, which means a lot to us as a family. The dedication to person-centred care is evident in every interaction. The whole team actively listens to her needs, respects her choices, and always treats her with the utmost dignity and compassion. Whether it's her daily routine, meal preferences, or engaging, everything is tailored to her individual well-being. This personalised approach has truly made her feel valued and at home, which is exactly what we hoped for. Knowing that she is in such capable and caring hands has given our entire family immense peace of mind. Highly recommend!

I been particularly impressed by the genuine warmth and attentiveness shown to my mother. I have witnessed firsthand how the team goes above and beyond to meet her needs and ensure her comfort. This personalised approach has provided me with a great sense of peace, knowing she's in such capable hands. I feel entirely comfortable with her care, and know she couldn't possibly receive better treatment anywhere else. The manager is very approachable, and always available, and shows such compassion and empathy, and his team are truly remarkable. I am incredibly grateful for the peace of mind Manor court has given me, and the wonderful care they provide to mum."

Mum is settling in well. I have not scored every area as mum has not been there long enough.

Mum has only been at the home 9 days & the care, compassion, attention to detail by staff is amazing!! My mum struggled with having help but here she seems a different person, its so nice to visit as her daughter & not a carer. Thank you everyone. Keep up the amazing work you all do!

My mum has recently moved into Selkirk House. Mum had a lovely welcome basket with her favourite things. Mum has settled in well and made friends. The care has been good and all staff have made us feel welcome.

The staff are always there if you need help and advice about anything. Their care is second to none. Always happy and willing to help with care.

The activities are interesting and popular with quizzes, crafts and guest speakers and singers to name a few.
