Testimonials
My father has been in Windmill House for two years and I can honestly say that the experience has changed both his and my perception of what it is to live in a nursing home. A fantastic team who make the atmosphere that of a large family in a country rural setting.
Windmill House made me feel very welcome. When I first arrived I was very nervous, but that didn’t last long. The staff are very kind and caring. I love all the activities. There is always something going on.
