Unveiled the plaque at the official opening of the new Windmill Manor Care Home in Hurst Green.
On the guided tour, I met both staff and residents and was delighted to see the residents settling into the excellent new facilities.
I was particularly impressed by the personalized provision for sufferers with dementia. The site features a Memory Lane Community specially designed for those with dementia to include colour schemes that engage residents and help them identify areas within the home.
The home's efforts to engage with the community particularly pleased me which was epitomised by the way the name was decided on for the home.
Pupils from the local Holland Road Junior School selected a number of names for the care home, with residents at the nearby Tandridge Heights care home voting for the favourites. The final choice was thought up by pupil Will Evans who will receive £50 worth of cinema vouchers and £100 book vouchers for the school.
