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.

Virtual Cruise, Cookery Demonstration & Tasting Event

We enjoyed a virtual cruise with a live, interactive cookery demo.  Our chefs prepared the same recipes as the demo so we could try all the dishes. As the 'cruise' pulled into each port, we were given clues to identify where we were visiting and then tasted a typical dish from that country...bellissimo

Mount House Carnival

Notting Hill Carnival atmosphere came to the Mount for our party & carnival event.  We had fun with a coconut shy, Caribbean party inspired music, fresh fruit platters, cocktails & mocktails! 

Thank you for our Beautiful Bench

We want to say a huge thank you to the family of one of our very dear residents for donating this beautiful bench in her memory.  Our residents will get many years of pleasure from sitting in our garden and enjoying the fresh air, what a very thoughtful gift. 

Entertainment in The Garden

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon sitting in the sunshine listening to a Paul performing songs from the 50's, 60's & 70's decades.  There was plenty of foot tapping, clapping and singing-a-long to our favourite tunes. 

Enjoying Beach day with family & the Nursery children

What a wonderful way to spend a morning, a visit from your family & enjoying watching the young children from Little Explorers Nursery having fun on our Garden party beach day.

Little Explorers Have Fun on Beach Day

Little Explorers Nursery came along to enjoy Beach day with our residents.  They all had ice lollies, played games, built sandcastles, and sang for us all. It was a glorious sunny morning, we look forward to their next visit.
