“Anchor lodge has been one of the best facilities my family had dealt with in this long journey of my loved one’s recovery. The staff is so kind , caring and attentive. The managerial staff has always been there if we ever needed anything explained or any general help! Would recommend them to anyone if you want someone to treat your loved one like it was their loved one!”
