About
Windmill House is a care home in Wymondham, Norfolk, run by the Runwood Homes group, with 59 registered beds. The Care Quality Commission rated it Good overall in its 2025 report, with Good grades across all five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
Residents, staff and families joined local people on a five-mile Memory Walk through Wymondham during World Alzheimer's Month, raising money for the Alzheimer's Society. Participants wore blue and handmade forget-me-not brooches made by a volunteer. Walkers also joined a Zumba class led by a resident's daughter, dancing to an ABBA song, while local people showed their support with donations and car horns. The home describes such events as part of everyday life there, combining fundraising with community links.
