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
Puzzle Afternoon
We frequently host games afternoons here at Mount House. Residents enjoy quizzes, puzzles, bingo, card making and so on. Everyone always has a lot of fun!
Macmillan Coffee Morning
In October, we raised over £50 for MacMillan Cancer Support. We join in with their ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ campaign, where cakes were made and kindly donated by relatives and staff to sell to raise money for this great cause. Residents thoroughly enjoyed the event and also played games such as 'Pin the Berry on the Gateau' and 'Guess the Size of the Sausage Roll!'
National Card Making Day
Resident thoroughly enjoyed aqua painting, colouring and crafts. We also made our own cards for the occasion.
Afternoon Tea
Every Thursday at the Mount House, we hold a weekly vintage tea party, where fresh cakes, teas and coffees are available.
Roald Dahl Day
Residents at the Mount House celebrated Roald Dahl Day by watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with popcorn and chocolate, and we even made own chocolate milkshakes and bunting for the home. Yummy!
Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall
The residents enjoyed the beautiful scenic drive to the waterfall, taking in their soundings. The residents saw lots of pretty villages and cottages along the route ‘how wonderful ‘ was a comment one resident made. The waterfall itself was picturesque with the calming sounds of the waterfall and streams surrounding it, the place truly was peaceful. The residents enjoyed a lunch of fishcake and chips in their own individual take away boxes which were purchased from one the quaint villages. All of the residents were delighted at being able to visit such a lovely place and wanted to know when they could return.
