Review from Michael M (Son of Resident) published on 21 August 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
The home is very clean and all staff are very friendly and approachable. They spend time with the residents and are very understanding of their needs. I am very pleased with the good results that have been achieved with my father in a short period of time and he has settled in very well. Bearing in mind he had not prior to being moved to this home, made any progress. It is remarkable what they have achieved since 17th July especially getting my father to eat, which had prior to his admittance, been impossible. A big thank you to all concerned.

Thank you so much for the very warm words which encourage all the staff and management.

Review from C W (Son of Resident) published on 19 July 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum has Alzheimer's disease and has been living at Anchorstone Nursing Home since November 2022. I've found the care that my mum receives to be of a very high standard. All the staff I have seen at Anchorstone show a caring attitude and they all seem to understand the range of complex needs that people with dementia live with. I've particularly noticed how great the staff are at reassuring and comforting mum and other residents when they show signs of anxiety. There are lots of activities for residents to engage in if they're able to and I find the living environment to be warm and friendly. The management team are extremely pro-active about arranging meetings with relatives and keeping us connected with everything that is going on. I'm grateful that mum is living at Anchorstone

Thank you so much for the review. We strive for continuous improvement and management and staff welcome the opportunity to meet with family, both formally and informally. Staff are trained in supporting those who may have memory impairment in addition to staff natural attributes, in both caring and empathy which must be 'hallmarks' during our recruitment.

Review from Rita H (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 July 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum has been with Anchorstone for two and a half years now and when she first arrived she would not get out of bed, now they have encouraged her to get up and become involved with the activities which is hard when you have dementia. All the team care for their residents and the results are amazing.

Review from J H (Son of Resident) published on 21 April 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Awful experience, that ruined my mum's life and gave her no duty of care. My mum can no longer walk without help, She had to have a hip replacement, she got DVT. Also, the home is grubby with very steep ramps that are difficult to walk up, even for able-bodied people.
↩Reply from P Mason, Operations Manager at Anchorstone Nursing Home
In February 2023, a resident was admitted to Anchorstone with delirium pathway. She suffered confusion and on one occasion reached out to another resident who is not able to stand up. Regrettably, both of them ended up on the floor and one suffered a skin tear on the leg. Our nurses kept a close...

Review from Mike D (Son of Resident) published on 20 October 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My father suffers from severe Vascular Dementia and has been a resident at Anchorstone since April 2016.
The skilled and loving care he has received there has been exemplary. The staff have a very real understanding of Dementia and the effect this condition has on individuals and their families. They manage to alleviate the anxiety which is an integral part of the condition and ensure that residents feel safe and secure. The Care Manager has specialist training in Dementia and ensures that this knowledge is passed on to all her staff.
I cannot thank the staff at Anchorstone enough for the way they have looked after my father.

Review from Maureen C (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 April 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident since May 2016. She is extremely well cared for by very engaging, conscientious and attentive staff. As her daughter, I always receive a very warm and friendly welcome when I visit. The atmosphere is very relaxed with very nice lounge and dining areas for residents. Therefore as the daughter of a resident, I highly recommend Anchorstone Nursing Home.
