If I could give 10 stars or more for the staff and standard of care these wonderful people give, I would. Mum was so so well looked after; she was happy and treated kindly, respectfully and with dignity. My sister and I have always said, she struck gold in being in the care of Orchard Gardens....
Not only is Orchard Gardens a lovely place for the residents, but it's also a real pleasure for us relatives to visit. Nothing is too much trouble; towards the end of mum's life I always asked for assistance in getting her into her wheelchair to take her downstairs to the cafe or bar areas for a coffee. (Both of which are superb). Help to do this was immediate and always with a smile and little chat. And it usually involved the use of a machine for aided help.They became like family to not just mum, but us too. I shall miss our visits and chats - thank you, all of you xx

My father was resident until August 2026, he was very happy at Orchard Gardens having moved there from another carehome where he wasn't happy. With the excellent care from all the staff he was happy right from day one. All the staff are so friendly and understanding the activities staff were great and Dad enjoyed trips out and activities at the home. The rooms, communal areas and the grounds around the retirement village are lovely and well kept.
My Mum had been a resident now since April 2025. She went in after a hip operation, she hadn't had any physio at the hospital so was pretty immobile and was a shell of the Mum we knew. Within a few months she blossomed as she was well cared for, helped back on her feet (literally) and had people...
My Mum had been a resident now since April 2025. She went in after a hip operation, she hadn't had any physio at the hospital so was pretty immobile and was a shell of the Mum we knew. Within a few months she blossomed as she was well cared for, helped back on her feet (literally) and had people who cared for her around her all the time. I am so pleased we found this home which is situated in fabulous gardens and within a retirement village. Mum goes out in the minibus, has outings to the garden centres and pubs, which she loves, and have a few lovely singers who visit regularly which makes everyone smile and sing along! My friends are forever showing me the social media posts of her having such a good time! Her room has a lovely view of the old building and beautiful pine trees, it is kept clean and it is lovely and bright. Also, having a weekly GP visit.

Orchard Gardens is the care home above all care homes! We are so likely that our parents are able to live in this amazing, caring environment. The staff are totally professional, caring, compassionate and friendly, but above all they treat every resident as an individual and a human being. Both my parents are treated with utter respect and love and we leave after every visit feeling reassured that they are happy, safe & loved. Sabrina, Tiago and the whole team go above & beyond and we cannot thank them enough.

All of the staff at Ancho Orchard are so caring and friendly, they take a real personal interest in every resident. They have also built a great rapport with the relatives of the residents, and are so welcoming to the children when they come along for a visit.

Orchard Gardens is a wonderful care home. It's clean, tidy and has a lovely homely feel to it with lots of activities and wonderful, caring staff. My Mum started off as a resident there and they looked after her very well as she declined with dementia and then through her last stages with the addition of extra palliative care. My dad moved in on a temporary respite care package shortly after Mum so they could be together and ended up making that a permanent move due to his dementia. I live a couple of hundred miles away but feel supported by the team and feel that Dad is looked after very well. Tiago has even suggested that he would be able to set up a video call with Dad for me so we can see each other rather than just chatting on the phone as it is not easy for me to visit as often as I would like to. Very satisfied with Orchard Gardens.
There is such a friendly atmosphere at Orchard Gardens wth kind and supportive staff who go above and beyond to make residents feel comfortable and happy. There are lots of activities for the residents to participate in and my mother often has her hair and nails done.

I am a dedicated and compassionate care professional with over 17 years of experience across a wide range of care settings, including learning disabilities, mental health, end-of-life care, and elderly care. Throughout my career, I have remained firmly committed to delivering person-centred, dignified, and high-quality care.
I have been with Anchor for the past eighteen months and take great pride in working for an organisation whose values align with my own. As a Home Manager, I am passionate about creating a supportive, inclusive, and nurturing environment for both residents and staff. I lead by example, promoting a culture of empathy, respect, and continuous improvement.
I believe that a well-supported and valued staff team is the foundation of excellent care. When staff feel appreciated and empowered, it reflects in the quality of care they provide—happy staff lead to happy residents and a thriving service. I am committed to ensuring my team feels equipped, motivated, and involved in achieving shared goals.
Compliance is also one of my key priorities. I am focused on maintaining high standards, meeting regulatory requirements, and continuously improving our practices to ensure the safety, wellbeing, and satisfaction of everyone in our care.
Central to my approach is the promotion of independence and the creation of meaningful experiences. I actively involve residents’ families and friends in their care journey, building strong partnerships that foster trust, engagement, and a true sense of belonging. My goal is to ensure every individual in our home feels safe, valued, and empowered to live life to the fullest.

My name is Tiago Fernandes, originally from Portugal and moved to the UK 10 years ago to pursue a meaningful career in care. I hold a bachelor’s degree in educational sciences, which I completed in Portugal, followed by six months of study in France. My passion has always been centred around helping others and making a positive difference in people’s lives.
When I arrived in the UK, I began working as a support worker in a residential home for adults with learning disabilities. I later moved into supported living services, where I supported individuals with complex needs and challenging behaviours. During that time, I took on a leadership role, working closely with the team to create a safe and supportive environment where everyone could thrive and reach their daily goals.
My journey then led me to join Anchor as a care assistant. Within a year, I progressed to team leader, and I now proudly serve as Deputy Manager. Throughout this journey, my focus has remained the same: delivering high-quality, person-centred care, supporting my team, and ensuring that each resident feels valued, respected, and cared for.I believe in a positive and proactive approach to care—one that promotes independence, dignity, and joy every single day.
