Windmill House Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, marked its 14th anniversary with a joyful celebration on Tuesday 29th April, honouring more than a decade of dedication, compassion, and connection within the community.
To commemorate the milestone, Windmill House hosted a vibrant open day celebration featuring live entertainment by A Sinatra Affair, a delicious buffet, drinks, and cake. The event brought together residents, staff, and families in a warm and joyful atmosphere to reflect on the home’s legacy and future.
Home Manager Maria Paranal delivered a heartfelt speech, sharing her personal connection to the home and the journey that led her to Windmill House.
“It’s a real pleasure and honour to be with you all to celebrate 14 years of Windmill House—a home that has become a place of warmth, care, and connection for so many,” she said.
“To our staff—your hard work, compassion, and commitment are the backbone of everything we do. I especially want to acknowledge our longest-serving team members, Karen Gayton and Nicola Ashmore, who have both been with us since the very beginning. Your loyalty is truly inspiring.”
The occasion also recognised Jayne, Windmill House’s Employee of the Month, who was applauded by her peers for her outstanding dedication and efforts.
A highlight of the day was the presentation of certificates and flowers to Karen Gayton and Nicola Ashmore, celebrating their 14 years of continuous service.
As the home looks ahead, the sense of community and shared purpose remains strong.
