Activities at Windmill Manor Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Windmill Manor Care Home
The Crossword Club at Windmill Manor.
Did you know that studies have shown that doing crosswords and number puzzles in later life could sharpen your brain and help with memory function.
We love to get together over a crossword at Windmill Manor. Residents met in our lovely lounge over a cup of tea and home baked cake and complete the crossword together. Great fun and good for our brain.

A memorable day for Dinah
Dinah a resident of Windmill Manor served as a WAAF in the RAF, she had lots of lovely memories and experiences and she often shared them with her family and team at Windmill Manor. Staff new this was a special time in Dinah's life so they organised to take Dinah and her son, Steve to the RAF Museum London to enjoy a memorable day together and reminisce.
