We had a wonderful afternoon here at Mount Tryon as we welcomed Abi from Mini Concerts for a performance of her brilliant Cocktail Classics.

To set the mood, everyone enjoyed pre-show cocktails specially crafted by our Second Chef, Jo-a fantastic treat that was thoroughly enjoyed by all!  

At Tyspane Care Home Babs Spear (Head of Physiotherapy) and her team understand that physiotherapy for residents is a personalised, evidenced-based approach to maintaining mobility, preventing falls, and supporting independence in residents aged 65 and over. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in helping residents maintain their quality of life as natural age-related changes affect strength, balance, and mobility.

Babs believes,
“When possible, all residents should be offered strength and balance programmes to improve balance, leg strength, walking and everyday function; these gains then translate into fewer falls, greater independence, and a better quality of life.”

“For 2026, the physiotherapy team at Tyspane Care Home have been concentrating on preventing falls. Falls are a leading cause of injury-related hospital admission for adults aged 65, and hip fractures after a fall can have a major impact on independence. Physiotherapy-led falls prevention works by addressing the three factors; muscle weakness, impaired balance, and environmental hazards.”

“Some elderly residents at Tyspane Care Home, are still in the middle of life, while others already need professional assistance. The motor-driven, motor-assisted MOTOmed movement therapy enables elderly residents to influence the process of aging positively. At Tyspane Care Home we are extremely privileged to have two MOTOmed’s which benefits residents because the MOTOmed is a movement therapy device which takes over as soon as the active training becomes to exhausting. Regular MOTOmed exercise promotes sustainable mobility for daily requirements.”          

Our residents and visitors spent the afternoon creating beautiful cards and poppy wreaths. There was lots of chatter and laughter as the beautiful creations came to life. What a lovely way to meet friends and unwind.  

Happy National M&M Day! Here at Mount Tryon, we marked the occasion by baking some delicious M&M cookies.

Safe to say, they went down a treat with our afternoon tea.  

Every Monday Morning, the residents look forward to the Move it or Lose it exercise classes. Each week our classes have been getting busier. We are now holding classes twice a week, we have even started to get more family members joining us, which is so lovely. Our Move it or Lose it classes are seated exercises with a range of gentle stretches', weights and relaxation along with some gentle, calming classical music.      

Exercise is such an important activity for our residents as it aids mobility and fall prevention as well as being great to keep us socialising, reducing isolation.  

Our Memory Lane residents enjoyed a lovely morning of flower arranging, bringing a little colour, fragrance and creativity to their day. Everyone had the opportunity to cut, smell and arrange the beautiful flowers, choosing their favourite blooms to create a stunning display.     

The finished arrangement took pride of place in their new dining room, adding a special touch to the space. It was a wonderful sensory activity that brought smiles, encouraged creativity and made their new dining room feel even more welcoming.

Whenever our pool table is set up here at Mount Tryon, it's a guaranteed hit with everyone. Our gentlemen especially love wrapping up a great game with a nice, cold lager.      

We have been running our Friendship club for the last three months, falling on the third Thursday of each month in the afternoons. 

These sessions are for our residents to have the chance of meeting local members of the community over some favourite games, crafts or just a cup of tea and a chat. Each session we hold will have a different variety of interests for everyone to enjoy.        

We celebrated World Food Day with a wonderful social afternoon full of delicious flavours from around the world! Our residents enjoyed sampling a variety of different foods and drinks from different countries, discovering new tastes and reminiscing about some of their favourite dishes. It was a lovely afternoon filled with conversation, laughter and plenty of tasty treats. Everyone had a fantastic time exploring the flavours of the world together!
