1o why is our care home such a great place?:
At Windmill Lodge, we always bear in mind that people are individuals. We strive to provide the very best ‘home from home’ service with a balance of privacy and communal activity. Residents with restricted mobility have the option to have a one-to-one social activity programme devised especially for them.
We work closely with St Christopher’s Hospice’s Art for Health Programme. Windmill Lodge aims to be a ‘home away from home’ and provides a restaurant standard service served direct from our 5* rated kitchen.
The home has been reaccredited and retained the Beacon Status, the highest possible award given by the Gold Standard Framework for end of life care in care homes ( GSF). One of very few thus accredited nationally. This level of expertise means that people can stay in the home and receive the very best care until the end of their lives.
The home took part in the national Nutrition and Hydration week this year from the 13th-19th March 2017, the culture nutrition and hydration has been embeded in Windmill and this has a great benefit to the people to avoid malnutrition and dehydration. The process has enabled the staff to have a better understanding about the importance of the elderly to stay healthy and hydrated and this culture is being maintained in the home.
