My wife has been at the Anchorage since October. The level of care has been excellent from the outset, but what really stands out is the friendliness and caring of the whole team when dealing with residents and visitors alike.
There have been some minor issues with some meals, but the team are
very responsive and the recently appointed manager (Sam) has made strategic changes to put things in order.
I visit on a regular basis and have always found the staff most welcoming and they always find time to interact both with my wife and myself.

Overall I am very happy with the care my mother receives. All the staff I have had contact with are kind and professional. The home is welcoming and clean. There always seems to be a range of activities and entertainment to suit most tastes. My mother has commented that there can be some
inconsistency with the food but I understand that the new manager has made this a priority and indeed changes have already started.

My mum has been at The Anchorage for two years so her second Christmas. The staff make everything very christmassy. Lots of entertainment for the residents which happens all year round as well. We are happy with all aspects of The anchorage.
It was definitely the right decision for my mum to be
cared for here.

I have limited experience of hotels and none of other care homes. However I have a high opinion of this one. I like the premises, staff and food. It took about a month to adapt from widower to care home ambiance, but thereafter all went well. I would recommend it to any friend or acquaintance.

My father has been a resident at the Anchorage for almost a year, and it is wonderful to see how he has come back to life after the loss of my mother, having been married for 68 years. He has made some wonderful new friends, both amongst the residents and staff, and genuinely seems to be very happy,
having discovered a new lease of life. The meals are outstanding and he is extremely well cared for by the attentive staff. He especially enjoys the many and varied entrainments provides with great enthusiasm. Excellent all round.

I am very happy and settled living at the Anchorage. I have made some very good friends. The level of care provided by the staff is excellent. The meals are also exceedingly good. When I wake up in the morning I look forward to the day ahead.

This home is decorated to a high standard and gardens well maintained. Did not put a x on food, drink, activities and value for money. The menu looks good with a variety of meals. The tea and coffee served, as a visitor, was good. My friend does not take part in activities but the list of activities
I have seen is varied. Do not know what the fees are as unable to comment.

My mother has spent a great deal of time at The Anchorage over the past 3 years. Both as a resident for over a year and respite. She is very happy and comfortable staying there.

Everything about The Anchorage is absolutely fantastic. The level of care, support and friendliness is outstanding, and they go above and beyond to look after residents. They make the transition into care seamless, providing love and care at every stage.

Finding The Anchorage was the very best thing that I did for my husband. I looked after him at the house with Alzheimer's, it was so very tough, and he just ate and slept every day. Immediately after he arrived, he blossomed again and joined in, and his cheeky smile was back. He loved the kind care
and attention that he was given, and the staff just could not be kinder - everyone. And then as he deteriorated, but still had the splendid care. Thank you all so much.

My brother has now become a resident, due to ill health. His transition to the home from hospital was quickly and efficiently carried out. Everyone I have met (staff) have been extremely friendly and efficient. My brother has settled in extremely well. The grounds are peaceful for the residents and
visitors alike.

Excellent experience, very friendly and helpful staff.

As always my relative is well cared for with the dignity she deserves. I can only praise all the staff for the way they look after her.

I went to visit a friend who is a resident. The staff greeted me with kindness and all were very friendly. The manager was very helpful. I arrived at lunchtime and the food looked amazing and my friend said it is delicious. The chef gave me a pudding as I was sitting with my friend, and that was
very delicious! I would recommend The Anchorage here at Pulborough to my friends. Also me when I need care. xx

We visited a patient staying at The Anchorage today. We called unexpectedly and were received by the delightful manager who took us to see our friend. He was in good spirits and was able to talk to us (in response to a question) about how kind and caring were the staff.
As we sat talking other
patients began to gather as it was approaching lunchtime. Ther4e was a warm, happy, and friendly atmosphere. We left the house with smiles on our faces.

We feel that the care our friend receives at The Anchorage is excellent.
She is delighted with her room which looks out to the garden and pond.
The staff are very kind and caring and if they have spare time sit and chat to her.
She says the quality of the meals is excellent and she can request
her favourite food.
Well done to The Anchorage, keep up the good work!!

I have visited The Anchorage once to visit my friend. I was impressed by the atmosphere, the staff, who all seemed very attentive, and the facilities. We joined my friend for lunch, which was very good. She said she hopes to go back to her home, but if that's not possible would be content to stay at
The Anchorage.

It is very safe to holiday here. The fundraising is most comfortable. The staff most kind. I really mean that.

I can't express my gratitude to all the staff at The Anchorage for the care they gave my husband, after he had had a serious operation.
He was given an extremely clean and very comfortable bedroom where he could relax and recuperate.
The staff were like family, they always had a happy and cheerful
face and nothing was too much trouble. The daily menus were just as he liked it and staff often catered to his tastes.
As I am elderly also, everyone showed concern for my mental welfare when I visited my husband on a daily basis beyond the call of duty which I truly appreciated.
If ever I needed care or respite in my old age, I would certainly want to go to The Anchorage.

I visited a friend at The Anchorage at their Summer Party in September and was so impressed by the effort that had gone in to making it such a special day for the residents, there was a fabulous band, ice cream van, close up magician, great food and lots of effort had gone in to the whole event. My
friend said she was extremely happy there and the carers were so kind and lovely, the food was great and she was well cared for. It's such a relief to see her happy here, I would certainly recommend The Anchorage.
