Our Story

Created by Caregivers. Inspired by the People We Love.

Anchor began with a simple belief: adults deserve activities that honor who they are, while meeting them where they are today.

Our family has experienced caregiving firsthand. We know what it is like to love someone whose abilities are changing and to search for something they can still enjoy, participate in, and feel successful doing.

Too often, activities created for adults with cognitive changes can feel childish, overly clinical, or simply too difficult. We believed there should be another choice.

So we created Anchor.

Meaningful Activities. Achievable Success.

We design puzzles, conversation cards, and activities for adults with varying abilities, with special attention to dignity, engagement, confidence, connection, and cognitive wellness.

Our puzzles offer different levels of challenge, larger pieces, and age-honoring imagery so families and caregivers can choose an experience that feels appropriate for the individual.

Our Tell Me a Story Conversation Cards create another kind of opportunity. Thoughtful prompts invite people to share memories, opinions, laughter, and stories, because meaningful connection doesn't depend on completing a task.

Every product may look different, but the purpose behind them is the same:

Create opportunities for success and meaningful moments together.

For Caregivers, By Caregivers

We understand that caregiving is about much more than meeting someone's physical needs.

It's also about preserving connection.

It's finding something Dad still enjoys doing. Hearing Mom tell a story you haven't heard in years. Watching someone finish a puzzle and seeing the satisfaction on their face. Sitting together at a table and sharing a few good minutes.

Those moments may seem small.

We believe they matter.

A Family-Owned Business With Purpose

Anchor is a woman-owned and Native-owned small business, founded by husband-and-wife team Kimberly and Chris.

Kimberly is a citizen of both the Cherokee Nation and Delaware Tribe, and our family's experiences with caregiving have deeply influenced the way we think about dignity, inclusion, service, and connection.

Anchor grew from those experiences and from a desire to create products we would feel good about placing in the hands of the people we love.

Today, we continue to develop activities for families, caregivers, senior living communities, activity professionals, and adults who simply want meaningful ways to stay engaged and connected.

What Guides Us

Dignity
Adults deserve activities that respect their age, experiences, interests, and individuality.

Connection
A puzzle, question, or shared activity can become an opportunity to spend meaningful time together.

Inclusion
Different abilities call for different approaches. We design with those differences in mind.

Success
Activities should provide an appropriate challenge while creating opportunities for confidence and accomplishment.

Why “Anchor”?

An anchor represents stability, strength, and connection.

For us, it also represents something deeper.

When life changes, familiar people, stories, activities, and moments of connection can help keep us grounded.

That's what we hope Anchor can provide.

Not simply something to do.

Something to enjoy.
Something to share.
Something to feel good about.

Because sometimes success is completing a puzzle.

Sometimes it's remembering a story.

And sometimes it's simply spending a meaningful moment together.

Those moments matter.
