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
Chinese New Year
We celebrated Chinese New Year in style this year by fully decorating the home with a symbolic Chinese dragon, Chinese flags, lanterns, bunting, balloons and much more. We had a special Chinese menu available as well, and plenty of themed activities, including fan making and Chinese alphabet lessons. It was a great celebration!
Chinese New Year Preparations
In preparation for our Chinese New Year celebrations, residents and staff have been decorating the home. Also, Head Chef, Steffi Pritchard, has been making special Chinese dishes to get everyone in the celebratory mood!
Garden Centre Visit
Residents loved our trip the local garden centre, Percy Thrower's. When we arrived, we enjoyed fish and chips for lunch, with apple crumble for dessert, which was all washed down with plenty of tea. Afterwards, we browsed the shops, aquarium and, of course, the gardening area, where we bought some lovely flowers for our flower arranging sessions.
Active Minds
Puzzle always go down a treat with residents. They all work together to get it complete, then move on to the next one.
Sadie Beth Shines
Residents were over the moon when they found out we had a new singer coming in to entertain us. Sadie Beth wowed us with her amazing voice, singing songs from all different years and genres.
Christmas Fete
This year we at The Mount we combined our Christmas Fete with Christmas Jumper day, where we raised £70 for both MS Society and Save the Children. We started the afternoon off selling raffle tickets, which was followed by Mince Pies, Cakes and Mulled Wine finally all the staff sang Carole’s with our residents. All the residents said they had such a lovely time, and they were so happy to take part in our fundraising afternoon.
