Care Homes Owned by Anchor in North Yorkshire

There is no doubt moving from independent living to a Care Home is an extremely challenging and emotional time for the whole family. Thank goodness for Gills Top. The transition for my mum was excellent, handled positively from the first interactions with Kat and Gemma through to making the decision to move in. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. After a week Mum felt settled, at ease and comfortable with everyone. There is a uniquely calm atmosphere pervading every aspect, from the communal seating area to the garden and dining room. Residents have varying needs and the staff cater for everyone, calmly and purposefully, going out of their way to accommodate individual requests. I can't recommend Gills Top highly enough. Seeing my mum thriving and happy in such a caring environment, it means everything. Thank you so much.

very clean + tidy and dietary requirements are met and monitored closely

Pearl is fabulous

A special thank you also goes to the manager, who was always so helpful, approachable and accommodating. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and her support throughout Mum's time at the home meant a great deal to us.

The staff + management at Mill House are amazing. From Our first initial visit, to Mum moving in and all the outside issues with local council etc. the help, guidance + advice was amazing. We cannot thank everyone enough for the care Mum received, the home is outstanding, rooms amazing and staff out of this world. Mum has had the best year she could have had with 100% care and love from everyone. We cannot recommend Mill House enough. Thank you.

My aunt was dressed and prepared for our visit, thanks to my cousin telling the staff we were visiting. She was pleased to see us and very happy and talking to us. We were able to make coffee in the kitchen. We had a lovely conversation with staff afterwards.

The care and compassion given has been first class. All medical issues have been dealt with imediatley to enable dignity and wellbeing to be maintained when a person moves into a care enviorement from their home.

I had to bring my sister in law as an emergency in Dec 2025. She has always been very houseproud, loved her home and garden. All the staff have been most helpful and kind, which eventually made it easier for her to make the necessary decision to stay here permanently. She loves the staff, the food, and the garden, and the music sessions with the visiting vocalists. The staff have also supported me through the past 5-6 months with their help and kindness. All good!

When I fainted in Chesters dining room and split my scalp open by banging my head on the floor your staff were outstandingly kind and competent in coming to my rescue.

My mother is like a new woman having received all the key support she needs, given by a commited and friendly staff. It is a comfort to know that he best needs are met on a daily basis.

The staff always have a smile for mum and a hug which she loves. All the residents are treated as individuals, the staff learn their ways and needs and are patient and caring with each one. I know my mum is safe and happy at The Mill House.

My mother has received many visitors over the last few weeks including her local vicar, friends from the village, and other family members and relatives, and everyone has commented to me about what a beautiful home The Manor House is. I cannot thank you enough about how comforting it is for me, having just lost my father, and having to put mum into a care home, knowing she is safe in a beautiful home.

I have every confidence that my mum's needs are being met. She is still capable of making her own decisions and I feel her choices are respected. Care is consistent and compassionate and my voice is also respected by the management team.

Thank you.

I would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and caring environment for their loved one. Thank you for everything you've done over the past year.

Mill House was a fantastic atmosphere, very welcoming, clean great staff always looking to help when needed. Lots to do for their residents and build up great relationships between residence. All in all a great place for mum to be.

Great place, very friendly staff.

We arrive at Mill House at least 3 times per week to see Auntie Pauline and every visit we are greeted by friendly staff always smiling, the environment is excellent clean, warm and friendly we usually sit downstairs in the bar area where drinks are consumed from teas, to latte to cappucino to even gin and tonics. Theres even cakes and other desserts to choose from too Auntie Pauline loves the face there are activities to join in throughout the days and can join in at leisure if she wants to. She loves the brekafast, lunches, evening meals too. All in all we could not be happier with the allround team effort Mill House provides.

Amazing home, more like a 5 star hotel than a care facility. Staff friendly and caring. No concerns of my mother's welfare. The facilities and food are amazing. A well run home.

The team were very kind and attentive, they were responsive to his changing needs over his final week. I could not fault the care he received
