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.

Beauty Salon
Flower Arranging with donated flowers from Little Waitrose Oxted
Thank you kindly to Little Waitrose Oxted for donating these beautiful flowers.
Look what the ladies at Windmill Manor Care Home achieved.
The flower arranging class was led by Julie, currently on respite at Windmill Manor, who was previously
a florist. Julie explained to the group where to start when making a bouquet and showed great technique for us to follow.
Julie created a beautiful bouquet with cream roses and then the group created an explosion of colour with their bouquet.
We had a lovely afternoon made possible by the generosity of “Little Waitrose Oxted”
Supercar Saturday at Hever Castle
Resident John, at Windmill Manor previously worked for Aston Martin and the late Sir David Brown in Yorkshire, where John was born.
In 2023 we took John to Supercar Saturday at Hever Castle, where he had a wonderful time looking at all the cars but Aston Martin in particular will always remain a clear favourite for John.
We were fortunate to be able to return to Supercar Saturday again this year, and John’s dream really did come true!
John got to sit in the brand new DB12 Volante, and was overjoyed with this opportunity.
In response to his wonderful surprise, John said “It’s my 91st birthday this Thursday and can honestly say this has been one of the best birthdays treat in my life, seeing the first DB built when I was just a lad, to now sitting in the latest model is incredible, I’ve loved every minute of it”.
Flowers donated by Little Waitrose Oxted

Titsey Foundation Tea Rooms
A lovely afternoon having a delicious cream tea at “Titsey Foundation Tea Rooms”
The views are magnificent overlooking the fields of cattle, fresh air, a real countryside experience.
Warm freshly baked scones that crumbled when touched served with fresh clotted cream and homemade jam was a real treat, followed by glorious lemon cake and mince puffs accompanied by tea or coffee.
The ladies from Windmill Manor Care Home all agreed, even though they all love watching Wimbledon, it was really nice
to get away for a couple of hours to such a picturesque place and enjoy some real traditionally baked scones and cakes.
