Canterbury House have cared for my Mother-in-law for 3 years, and in all this time she has been treated with respect and dignity by all of the staff. She turns 100 years young in July, and on a recent visit, we were approached by management who informed us they have booked her favourite singer for her special day. They also arranged a meeting the t… he chef manager to discuss catering needs for her special day. This goes way beyond our expectations, and we couldn't thank Canterbury House for going above and beyond to make her day so special. We know she is loved and cared for, and couldn't wish for a better care home. All the staff are amazing!

The staff are wonderful and helpful. I enjoy all the different activities. I really enjoy the grounds at Canterbury House and sitting in the sunshine! I feel safe and well looked after. My bedroom is very comfortable and I like the wet room. I've not slept so well in years. Thank you to all the staff and residents for making me feel welcome.

Excellent care and service provided to my father (resident) when he stopped breathing and was admitted to hospital. All staff are so friendly and willing to assist my father.

My aunt has been there for 5 years. It has been a roller coaster course with good and not so good times. Many changes of management and staff and at times periods of inferior care and support. Happily I can say this has changed since the current management were instituted. There is a much better atmosphere and the staff now seem to have stabilised… . It has become a far more welcoming place. There were times in the past when we really didn't enjoy visiting. There is a great activity programme and the residents have been empowered to decide what they want or don't want. The staff are so good dealing with my aunt and all her foibles and I do believe she is a lot happier. We have been very impressed and I can honestly say it is all down to the current management. I think some of the internal fabric needs a little updating, my aunts room could do with a lick of paint, needed since she moved in! Bathroom very compact for the cost! Somehow the staff manage, not easy! Communal rooms are great.

Within moments of entering Canterbury House I knew our dear mum would be in safe hands. The atmosphere is welcoming; the staff are friendly, polite and more than happy to help in any way they can. The kindness and care they show to their residents is exemplary. No one really wants their parent or loved one to go into a care home but if you find … yourself in a similar to position to ours and there is no other option, you could not do better than visit Canterbury House and the wonderful team of staff there. The facilities are great, the home is decorated throughout to a very high standard and the food is yum! I can't thank Canterbury House enough for taking so much of the stress and worry away from what could have been a very worrying time for us all as mum made her transition to her new home. Thank you so much!

My father has been very well looked after, fed, and watered, the staff are excellent with him and look after him. The food is of a very high standard. I wouldn't have him anywhere else.

As a person without friends or relatives alive, after some research, it was a wise choice to select Canterbury House for me. I do not except anything, so I am not disappointed in anything.

Care homes

Our current private weekly fee at Canterbury House is from £1,475. This can vary due to resident dependency, size of room and location. Our Home Manager and other colleagues will be happy to discuss fees and any other questions you may have about paying for care.

What is included in care home fees?

For many people, moving to a care home is a big decision and it can be difficult to know where to start. Care home fees are based on a range of factors, including specific care needs, which can change over time.

- cost of personal care
- accommodation
- utilities e.g. heating and light
- all resident catering, meals, snacks and drinks
- laundry undertaken on the premises
- television licence, including for person use
- housekeeping services.

The following extra items and services are not covered by the weekly fees, however we can arrange for them to be provided (at an additional cost):
- professional hairdressing
- personal copies of newspapers or magazines
- personal purchases such as stationery, confectionery, toiletries etc.
- clothing, shoes and slippers
- dry cleaning
- private telephone line rental and calls and cable connections.

In the absence of free provision by the NHS, we can also arrange for the following healthcare services to be provided, these will be charged in addition to the weekly fees:
- chiropody
- optometry
- dentistry
- physiotherapy
- other privately arranged healthcare
- care staff accompaniment to regular medical appointments.

No upfront deposit is required at any of Anchor’s care homes to secure a room.

At Anchor we pride ourselves on offering a truly tailored approach to care and therefore need to fully understand your needs to provide you with an accurate fee estimate. Please call us to discuss your specific care needs today. Alternatively we welcome you to visit us to discuss your situation face-to-face.

Learning about the different funding options available to you can also help you feel confident in your decisions. Anchor know that securing care home funding can sometimes appear a rather daunting task and so to help we have put together a free guide covering requesting assistance, top up fees and third-party payments.

Fun Fact Friday:
Did you know that pine trees can tell if it's about to rain?🌲
Next time you see a pine cone, take a close look. If it’s closed, that’s because the air is humid, which can indicate rain is on its way.
