I realy like how much attention is paid to cleanliness here. The residents are nice and friendly and I appreciate the manager's help during my move and while I was settling in. I have nothing bad to say about Anchor and I also like that it is a pet friendly place.

Dear Yvonne,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you’ve found the manager helpful and informative, but we’re sorry to learn that the cleanliness of the stairs and passages hasn’t met your expectations.
Your comments are important, and we’d encourage you to raise this directly with your location manager. If you’d prefer, you can also contact our Customer Relations team on 0345 602 5516 or at customer.relations@anchor.org.uk so this can be looked into further.
My partner and I moved into an Anchor…
My partner and I moved into an Anchor Home in Ruislip Middlesex about two years ago. We looked forward to moving into our own home, however two years on we regret moving here. The family members of another tenant here have made our lives here hell. They use our facilities, there was evidence on cannabis smoking on the premises, and on more than one occasion one of the family members of the tenant verbally abused some of the elderly residents here, leaving one visibly shaken. The police were called here on one occasion after a report of cannabis on the premises and verbal abuse was reported. We reported this to Anchor, who initially looked as if they were doing something about it. It's been 6 months and these people are still here. Anchor say these people are allowed to visit, but they're not visitors. I've seen one of the family members late in the evening wearing a night gown walking her dog, she's clearly staying here still, despite apparently being told she isn't allowed to. At a recent tenants meeting the a family member of the tenant openly admitted he was homeless and "living in his car" I don't see how this is our problem. Moreover it became apparent to many of us at the meeting we had recently that the family members of the tenant had more sympathy than us, the actual tenants. All in all I am very disappointed with how this is being handled, and kind of makes Anchors slogan of Enjoy Living In Later Life a bit of a joke really. Also Anchor changed their policy meaning you can no longer transfer to another location if you're not happy. Sadly my retirement living here is not is as enjoyable as I hoped it would be. Funny how the actions of one family can spoil he overall enjoyment of living in a housing development such as this. I hope that Anchor one day changes their policy to allow transferring to another development. No one should have to put up with this, especially in an over 55s development.

Dear Lee,
We’re very sorry to read about your experience and the concerns you’ve raised about safety and behaviour within your community. This clearly isn’t the standard we want for our residents, especially in a retirement setting.
We’d really like the opportunity to look into this further. Please contact our Customer Relations team on 0345 602 5516 or email customer.relations@anchor.org.uk so they can review your concerns in detail and support you appropriately.
My one bedroom flat was lovely …
The one bed room flat I was given was lovely. I felt at home as soon as I walked into it. The reason for 4 stars instead of five, was the fact that when I moved in, I found items that the last tenant had left behind and there were also three contractor jobs needing done.

Helpful staff
I am about to move into an Anchor property so it is rather early to leave a review. However I would like to praise the manager at the scheme who has been so friendly and helpful. She has made every effort to make me feel welcome.

CALLERTON COURT
I have just moved into callerton court at westerhope. I found Hazel, the manager to be so helpful. She showed me round the whole place and answered lots of questions I had, nothing was any problem. When I went back to sign the tenancy agreement hazel was very professional and took me through all the paperwork. I am so looking forward to living here and meeting people who live there. Excellent customer service Hazel.
