  • Minister and local MP, Rushanara Ali, visits Anchor’s Silk Court care home

12 February 2025

Minister and local MP, Rushanara Ali, visits Anchor’s Silk Court care home

Minister for Homelessness and Rough Sleeping and MP for Bethnal Green and Stepney, Rushanara Ali, recently visited her local Anchor care home, Silk Court, in the heart of her constituency to see how the organisation is delivering care for its residents.Silk Court in Bethnal Green welcomes MP Rushanara Ali

The Minister met residents and carers at the care home which is part of Anchor, a Purpose Coalition partner, and England’s largest not-for-profit provider of housing and care for people in later life.  

Rushanara Ali has been MP for Bethnal Green and Stepney, and its predecessor Bethnal Green and Bow, since 2010. Having held a number of shadow frontbench posts, she was appointed Minister for Homelessness and Rough Sleeping in the new Labour Government following the General Election in July 2024.  Rushanara Ali was joined by Anchor Chief Executive, Sarah Jones, and was given a tour of Silk Court and its facilities, chatting with residents and care colleagues to find out about life at the care home and the range of services it offers.

Rushanara Ali also met Silk Court Care Home Manager, Renae Dixon, who said:Silk Court in Bethnal Green welcomes MP Rushanara Ali

It was great to welcome our local MP to Silk Court and we were able to show her all the fantastic person-centred care services we provide. Residents really enjoyed meeting her and having the opportunity to share their own experiences of living at the home.

Thanking the team at Silk Court, Rushanara Ali said:

It was a pleasure visiting Silk Court care home and meeting residents and staff. I am hugely grateful to all the carers and the wider staff team for all they do to support the residents.

Anchor Chief Executive, Sarah Jones, said:

As a care home provider, we are deeply committed to offering the highest standards of care and ensuring that our residents continue to live well in later life. We are grateful for the support of our local MP, Rushanara Ali, for taking the time to visit Anchor’s Silk Court care home. Residents and colleagues really enjoyed showing off their home and demonstrating how every individual receives the personalised care, support and attention they deserve.

Silk Court care home offers first class residential and dementia care. Located in its own grounds, the home is close to local services and amenities such as shops, pubs, and the local post office. The dedicated service, friendly environment, and excellent facilities, enables residents to live a full, rich, and meaningful life in the company of supportive, like-minded people.
