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.

Relaxing Flute Music
We try to cater for all our Residents here at Windmill Manor Care Home. Music draws on its qualities to support people at all stages along their journey, it is very popular with our residents
Several weeks ago both residents and staff received a magical performance by “Oli” a very talented young flautist. Flute is known to relax the nervous systems and stress muscles. It can reduce anxiety as it soothes nerves.
Oli and his flute were brilliant. We hope to see him again

MANS BEST FRIEND
A Pet Dog by their very presence can help reduce the effects of dementia -anxiety, agitation, irritability, depression, and loneliness. By their friendliness and non-threatening way, pets can help a dementia patient be more interactive, when sometimes they are not able to do so in social settings with other adults.
