About Anchor House
Anchor House provides residential support for seven adult men and women with learning disabilities in Parkstone, Poole. The home is designed for people who need a stable setting with person-centred support tailored to health, communication and everyday living needs.
Its small scale means the service supports seven adults, while the wider Priory description emphasises helping residents live as independently and positively as possible. The location is a residential care home rather than a nursing service, and the evidence does not establish a broader clinical offer at this site. Families can therefore use Anchor House as a starting point for discussing suitability, routines and the support required.
