About Windmill House
Windmill House provides residential, dementia, nursing and respite care for older people and younger adults. The home’s care model begins with an assessment of each resident’s needs, preferences, routines and life history, helping staff arrange appropriate support from the start.
Residents can personalise their rooms with familiar belongings and take part in activities and community events. Runwood Homes also operates a minibus service for outings to restaurants, zoos, sporting events and cinemas, while local community connections provide additional opportunities for social interaction.

Can family and friends visit Windmill House at any time?
Yes. Visitors are always welcome, although the home asks that visiting times are discussed in advance where possible.
How much does Windmill House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Windmill House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Norfolk council paid on average £1,129 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
