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.

Life at Mount House and Severn View
Halloween Treats for Little Explorers
There were no tricks only treats for Mount House and Severn View's regular visitors from Liittle Explorers. We had our own Halloween party with fun and games, facepainting and spending time with residents. All the children were delighted to go home with their own goodie bag.
Pamper Afternoon
The team were very busy giving our ladies manicures and the end results were stunning. Not only do The Mount House and Severn View residents get beautiful nails it is also lovely to have one to one time. As well as nails we also had the opticians in for eye tests!
Cake Decorating in Style
The Mount House and Severn View residents had a relaxing baking session including decorating the cakes with some very delicious toppings. As with all the activities it is also about everyone coming together, chatting and when baking enjoying the end results!
World Mental Health Day
This week was World Mental Health Day, talking is so important, so to open up the discussion about the day residents took part in a session of mindful colouring. Barchester’s Life Enrichment Programme focusses on mind, body and soul. So many of our residents say how much they love the company of living at The Mount House and Severn View. It is always great to enjoy a drink with friends – cheers!
Bountiful Crop!
Mount House and Severn View's fruit trees are bountiful this year, a real bumper crop. Residents are very much enjoying being able to select their fruit from the tree. Joyce has also been planting with the residents to add Autumn colour and cultivating bulbs ready for Spring.
Nature at its Best
Nature is amazing and at Mount House and Severn View we have been able to experience our own piece of nature - the hatching of chicks. It really has been an experience to watch our chicks hatch. We didn't want them to leave, but all agreed that ten chickens would take up too much space! The residents greatly enjoyed watching the hatching and we took the chicks all around the home to meet the residents. The team also greatly looking after these little ones and would definitely do this again. Every day really is different at Mount House and Severn View!
