Activities at Mount House and Severn View
Our Activities team is a dedicated group whom strive to ensure that the residents of Mount House have a broad range of meaningful activities daily which reflect the needs, wants and interests of all our residents. From our larger events including Garden Parties in our spectacular grounds to birthday celebrations with live musical entertainment we always have a broad range of events to suit all of our wonderful residents. We also go on a number of outings throughout the year in and around Shropshire, many of which are linked to community organisations whom cater specifically for interests of the people we support.
Something we have always been passionate about here at The Mount is Music therapy and we offer a diverse musical programme of live music and entertainers throughout the year to suit all tastes. Food theme days and tasting afternoons, as well as regular Cookery classes and chair yoga are on offer as well as beauty therapy and massage.
We aim to consistently provide a high quality activities programme for all of our residents and ensure that regardless of limitations and circumstances each individual has the best possible experience within our home, through both a physical and mentally stimulating person-centred approach.

Happy Birthday 'Joyce'
Our staff and residents would like to say a massive happy birthday to our darling Joyce who is 94 today. Joyce says she's feeling overwhelmed with the love cards and presents she has received so far this morning and would like to thank everybody.
Sensational Songs with Debbie
Who knew our senior 'Dan Ashley' had the voice of an angel! Our residents were enthralled to hear his rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' as he supported professional singer the fabulous Debbie Miles. It was then onto some carnival vibes as our Activities Coordinator Joyce entertained the crown alongside Debbie shaking her stuff to the Rivers of Babylon by Boney M.

Spring Blooms
Spring has sprung in the Mount House & Severn View gardens. We took our Easter Flower Club outside to appreciate the blooms and burst of sunshine. Residents; Joyce, Marjorie and Sheila all said it was just what they needed. Getting out in the spring sun and fresh air is good for everyone’s continued wellbeing.
We're looking forward to planting blubs and creating some sensory areas and even a vegetable patch or two this year. Do you love to garden and can you spare any time to support? Please contact the activities team on MountHouse.Activities@barchester.com we love to hear from new volunteers.
