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. Nevertheless, we all want the best we can afford – whether for ourselves or a loved one. Living in an Anchor care home you can be confident that a single fee covers the cost of your personally tailored 24 hour care and support, all utility bills and meals as well as a fantastic range of daily activities.
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 questions and queries face-to-face.

I am very passionate about creating options for our residents and ensuring their lives are enhanced by the ideas and events that happen in Wetherby Manor.

A review from the daughter of a Wetherby Manor resident
“Mummy has now been in Wetherby Manor for three years. For the past 14 months, she has been on 'Chester's' floor as she required a greater level of care with the onset of dementia and mobility problems. I cannot fault the care and support Mummy receives and in these very difficult times when I cannot visit Mum, I know she is safe, very well protected and cared for by professional and caring staff.”
