Through Anchor's housing and care homes for older people we care about people’s individual needs and their everyday lives. Operating in 85% of local councils in England, with 54,000 homes for older people as well as dedicated teams of business professionals working in our Bradford and London offices, more than 9,000 of us work towards the same goal.
