A CARE company which runs two homes in Oxfordshire has been named ‘Residential Care Provider of the Year'.

Anchor, which runs Ferendune Court in Faringdon and The Ridings in Banbury, took the prize at this year's Health Investor Awards.

The organisation was presented with its trophy by TV comedian Rory Bremner.

Anchor care services director Mark Greaves said: “What I have found in my numerous visits to homes is a real passion to deliver services that stand out and lead the way in dementia care.”
