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.

In the traditional Christmas colours of Red and Green, our Festive Gonk are super cute and fun to make. With spruce of greenery and berries, we could choose to make a guy or a girl gonk, in red or green. With their sweet little buttons noses poking out from under their hats, oooh how very cute.

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.
