Care Homes Owned by Anchor in Suffolk

Nothing was too much.my mother went to St Joes at a pretty low ebb. After a couple of month her improvement was remarkable and this was all down to the staff and care from the home.

I would definitely recommend this home.

From the initial visit to view the home, my husband moving in when he was discharged from hospital, and every other aspect the staff have all been amazing. Everyone has been so helpful and caring, the Home Manager, admin staff, team leaders, carers, the lovely laundry lady and the maintenance guy. Thank you all so much for taking such good care of John. Canterbury House is a wonderful care home and highly recommended.

My mother came to Marham House because she needed extra support & could not longer live on her own, From the first day the support she has been given has been aexcellent the staff have been 100% & nothing is to much trouble, the only area she has struggled is the food becouse he is celiac & has suger diabeties the home has found it difficult to give her the right food that sustains her. the theam have been very supportive in trying to get this right & hopefully this is now happening. Over all Marham House has a fantastic group of staff who mother really likes. So we are glad we chose you!)

Excellent service

We are very happy in all other respects!

The Firs is one of the best homes I know. On the coffee mornings there was a lot of staff seeing to residents and visitors. The Rooms are lovely. Theres always activities, The home is clean & tidy. Lovely gardens plenty of places to sit, The staff are very friendly and seeing the residents in the garden in the sun is great.

Corporate Anchor need to use some of the large cash surplus from last year to reward these staff in some way . They certainly go over and above and three of them attended mum's cremation service which meant so much to my sister and myself. We both are eternally grateful for the way in which you looked after our mum.

I have been here before on respite. I think it is not quite as good as when I was last here in August 2025.

My great nan came to the care home from hospital 3 weeks ago and i can notice how happy she is. She always tells me how amazing the staff are, they are so caring and kind and look after all the residents so well. I really have seen an improvement in Nan since coming in because of how nervous she was to go there but now she wouldn't change it for the world now she loves it so much. All of the staff i have spoken to are so lovely and so welcoming.

The care and kindness Mum received was beyond amazing. Although, sadly, her physical and mental condition declined. We, as a family, were given so much support and comfort until the very end of her death on 6th May 2026. So much respect shown. St Mary's Care Home is a wonderful, friendly and welcoming home. Every member of staff could not have done more for us. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. Keep doing the wonderful job you do.

It is a truly amazing home for its residents.

My uncle moved into The Firs almost three months ago. He is very comfortable there and looked after extremely well. The staff are all courteous and helpful. As visitors we are always welcomed with a smile. My uncle has a problem with swallowing the kitchen staff always asks how he wants his food served. It was a big decision to enter into a care home, we know we made the right choice.

Everyone is assured of a warm welcome at The Firs. My non-dementia husband has resided there for 5 months now and some staff have made time to converse and play cards with him. He has gained weight, is less anxious with no wish to return home with me. We are all happy to see him so settled. As a strong willed man I was worried he would be unhappy but he now seems fine when we all have to leave him behind when we visit. The staff went that extra mile to give us an extra-special day on our 67th wedding anniversary with our family present. The firs is a welcome, safe and cosy home with the accent on care.

My mother moved in a week ago the staff have been amazing to my mum and so helpful to me mum was worried about going into a care home but she is so happy everyday telling how lovely the staff are and how helpful they are and that makes me feel so happy that mum is happy the staff I have met are so so nice.

Would highly recommend! Thank you for looking after my mum so well.

The Firs is by far the best home I have been in. It is a home from home with wonderful staff. Wonderful staff and the happiest residents very clean and comfortable. The best food.

As a chartered surveyor I have inspected many care homes. St.Josephs does not feel like one at all, more like a small hotel for retired gentle folk. I was next of kin for my elderly Aunt who after being widowed decided she'd like to be closer to me than her previous care home. She moved to St.Josephs in July 2025 and since that day the caring loving environment there lifted a huge weight off our shoulders. A massive stroke in 2019 had rendered my Aunt immobile but that never seemed an issue for the staff, but did mean she did not get the benefit of all the activities that we saw others enjoying, its always a full calendar of events. She has left us now, but the care shown by the staff at the time was just great.

Moving to a care home is a big decision for everyone involved. Marham house recognised this..It is a Beautiful residential home. It is very homely and not clinical at all, which made a big difference with the transition for my Nan. The staff are all so friendly and warming. I would not hesitate to recommend Marham House to anyone else. Thankyou for caring xx

My husband spent periods of respite in St Josephs' Gainsborough Wing, which specialises in dementia care, leading to permanent residence until March this year, when he sadly passed away. I would like thank Jacquie, Anne, Debbie, Fran and ALL the staff, from the management down, for their professionalism, kindness, compassion and understanding. St Joseph's is a special place. When you walk through the door feeling worried, anxious and stressed about finding a suitable place for your loved one to be cared for, you are met by smiling, friendly staff and a warm welcoming atmosphere, and then by Ashley, the heart of the admin team, who is reassuring and understanding. Dementia, as we know, can be very difficult and challenging. The staff at St Joseph's meet it with love, patience, humour and creativity, providing many activities and outings and wonderful and varied menus and treats to enjoy. St Josephs provides residents with an improved quality of life, which is beyond price.
