About Us

The Windmill Care Home is a residential care home in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. We provide a home for older people, including many living with dementia, and we also offer respite stays, whether to give a family carer a break or to help somebody regain their confidence after a spell in hospital.

We want this to feel like somewhere people live rather than somewhere people have been placed. Residents bring their own furniture and photographs, keep their own routines and decide how the day runs. Some are up early and want company and conversation straight away. Others want their own room, a newspaper and a quiet afternoon, and neither needs explaining to us. We plan around the person rather than around what is convenient for a rota.

Supporting people living with dementia is a large part of what we do. Steadiness is what helps. Familiar faces, routines that change only when there is a reason, patience when words are hard to find, and a real effort to understand what somebody means rather than what they managed to say. Families are closely involved because they often hold the history that makes sense of the present.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. It reflects reliable everyday practice, which is what most families are genuinely looking for. If you are considering a care home in Great Yarmouth for someone close to you, you are welcome to visit, look round properly, meet our staff and residents and ask us whatever you need to know.
