The past year has been a very challenging time for everyone, but the resident's health and safety have always come first.
A Covid free and safe environment with delightful staff, friendly, respectful of privacy and dignified, cheerful and personable people, carers, cleaners, odd jab man/gardener. Everyone is so polite and considerate, understanding and very careful when I had to be in isolation when first admitted.

My 97 year old Mum has been at The Anchorage since September 2020 during which time she has received exemplary care. The staff are always cheerful and nothing seems to be too much trouble. The home has managed the added challenges of the COVID pandemic in a very professional manner with the safety of their residents as their primary concern. I am kept informed on any medical concerns and interventions; they are very proactive to get professional input where deemed necessary. The overall environment is very pleasant with the grounds well cared for. Mum is very comfortable at the home and I have peace of mind that she is being well cared for.

The only criticism would be the food. Although this would never likely match the 'home cooking' that the older residents would always have been used to. Otherwise really first-class - well done! March 2020 to date their handling of COVID-19 has been exemplary.

Mum lived at The Anchorage for just over three years. During that time her dementia progressed until she died peacefully in her room. During all that time her care was amazing. She was always talked to, encouraged, understood and supported. All the staff, working as a team, are approachable, cheerful and very professional. Despite Covid lockdown restrictions, the concern for residents has never wavered. Mum spent her final days at rest and the palliative care was exemplary.
I fully enjoyed my stay at The Anchorage, it has given me the confidence to be in my home to face new challenges.

As soon as I arrived I felt comfortable in the lovely room provided and views to the well-kept garden was a bonus. The staff were pleasant and friendly at the outset making me feel at home instantly. I would be happy to go back any time for respite.

She is lucky to have one of the best/largest rooms in the home and as she is spending most of her time there, she feels comfortable at the home. If she were in one of the smaller rooms, she would be less so. The main issues we have experienced are related to staff turnover and sometimes shortages. Otherwise, her care is excellent.
It is clean and bright. The staff are welcoming, smiley, helpful and most of all, my neighbour is extremely happy, content and settled there.

The Anchorage is a rural residential home for elderly care, which includes respite and end of life. There is a lovely atmosphere throughout the home which caters for 36 occupants. Individual rooms include a generous en-suite bathroom and wet room. The level of cleanliness is very high and maintained on a daily basis. Meals are provided in own rooms for those who cannot eat in the dining area. Musical entertainment is a regular feature. Also, in-house quizzes are a popular feature. As well as being a regular visitor to a relative living here, I have been associated with The Anchorage for over 10 years as a coordinator for Local Community Transport in which time I organised many car and wheelchair journeys for residents. These journeys were sometimes for social purposes or medical destinations. This service is still available to all residents and a wheelchair accessible vehicle is available at low cost. With good management and devoted, caring staff what more could anyone want?
The staff that I have come in...
I would have no hesitation in staying there myself (can't say better than that).
This was my first visit to see my mother-in-law, hence I feel I cannot answer any more than I have. All areas were particularly clean and all staff very attentive.

Sam began her career in care at the age of 18 in a nursing home in Petersfield, where she discovered just how rewarding it is to make a genuine difference in people’s lives. Since then, she has built extensive experience across a wide range of care settings, including nursing, residential, mental health, domiciliary, and private care. Each role has shaped her skills, knowledge, and passion for delivering high-quality, compassionate care.
Although Sam explored other career paths when her children were younger, her heart always led her back to care. She believes in investing not only in residents, but in their extended families too, building strong, lasting relationships that continue long after people move on.
As Manager at The Anchorage, Sam is proud to lead a dedicated team and to help create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where residents feel valued, and families feel included and reassured.
Known for her positivity, Sam often shares her three guiding principles: you only know what you know; communication is key; and there is a solution to everything. She feels truly honoured to be part of The Anchorage and is passionate about making a difference every single day.

Karen’s career has always centred around Customer Care; nothing is more rewarding to her than ensuring people feel truly valued and supported. With over 20 years of experience as an Office Manager, she has developed the confidence and communication skills to navigate even the most challenging situations with professionalism and empathy.
A devoted animal lover, especially of dogs and cats, Karen shares her home with Milo, her very affectionate (and undeniably handsome) cat who never misses a chance to remind her of it. She has also shared the last 16 wonderful years with her partner, Kevin. The two first met during her time working as Cabin Crew at Gatwick Airport, a role that revealed just how much she enjoys connecting with people from all walks of life.
Outside of work, Karen can most often be found at Boot sales or Antique fairs. Together, she and Kevin love camping, walking, or bird spotting in Pulborough Brooks whenever the opportunity arises. They also enjoy a touch of nostalgia: one of her closest friends hosts regular 80s nights, and dressing up for her favourite era is something Karen looks forward to every time.

As Customer Liaison Manager, I support families in one of the most important decisions they’ll ever make, finding the right home for their loved ones. I guide and support each care enquiry with compassion and professionalism, ensuring every family feels heard, informed, and confident in their choices.
In addition to my work with families, I also oversee our marketing and advertising, helping to showcase the heart of our homes and the care we provide. I’m a people person at heart, and I’m proud to be part of a business that shares my core belief: life does not end with a dementia diagnosis. Our homes are places to continue living with dignity, joy, and purpose.
Dedicated and deeply passionate, I’m here to help, no question is ever too much.

Daisy is an 11-year-old community champion who has been visiting The Anchorage care home since she was a toddler. A few years ago, she created Through the Eyes of a Child, a heartfelt initiative designed to capture children’s honest reflections on their experiences of visiting the care home, helping staff and residents see the environment through a child’s perspective.
What began as a simple idea has grown into a meaningful programme that fosters intergenerational connections. Daisy encourages children from local schools to visit the home, building friendships with residents and taking part in activities, events, and outings. She has also developed feedback forms to ensure children’s voices are heard and valued.
Over the past year, Daisy’s compassion and dedication have been widely recognised. She has received a Champions of Care Special Recognition Award from Person Centred Software, the Community Cup from her school for her empathy and service, and the Saxon Weald Local Community Youth Winner Award for her outstanding contribution to the care home and wider community. She is also due to join the PDCCA Volunteer Friends Scheme in the New Year.
Now beginning to share Through the Eyes of a Child with other care homes across the group, Daisy continues to lead with kindness, empathy, and maturity beyond her years, proving that age is no barrier to making a meaningful difference.
