Anchor believe in promoting independence with dignity, whilst at the same time striving to maintain and improve your quality of life. Anchor understands that life changes as you get older. There comes a time when some extra assistance may be required to help complete those day-to-day tasks which were once dealt with more easily. The Village offers a comprehensive range of housekeeping and personal care services at various hourly rates through our registered Homecare service and housekeeping team. This is managed through separate contracts with individual residents.

Each apartment pays a contribution to the running costs of facilities, support services and maintenance of the building and grounds which is known as the 'service charge'. The deferred sinking fund contribution goes towards a fund which builds up over time to meet the cost of major repairs and refurbishment works which are not covered by the monthly service charge. The contribution is payable on resale.
