Activities at Mount Tryon Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Mount Tryon Care Home
National Cake decorating day
National Cake Decorating Day at Mount Tryon was made even more special because our head chef, Sue Forshaw, took time out of her very busy kitchen to show us how to decorate cakes.
One of our residents, who has been a professional cake decorator for many years, found it easy to do, and the afternoon was lovely.
Fantastic work, Ladies.
World Alzheimer’s day
On World Alzheimer's Day, we have had a wonderful day celebrating at Mount Tryon. We began the day with some baking with Amy and Cristian, two of our dementia champions. This brought back many wonderful memories and opportunities for reminiscing. Everyone commented on how beautiful our memory lane smelt while our chocolate brownies cooked. To follow we enjoyed a lively dancing with scarf activity, finished off with afternoon tea where we enjoyed our homemade Brownies.
National Pepperoni Day
Our deputy chef Jo came to help us prepare our own homemade pizzas for supper on National Pepperoni Pizza Day here at Mount Tryon. Our residents loved getting involved with making their own food! A very fun and tasty treat indeed!
Our new boxercise Weekly Activity
We had our first boxercise class today at Mount Tryon with our physio assistant Jermaine. Everyone had a great time; after a fast-paced warm-up, we were all on the edge of our seats waiting to see who would show off their skills against Exeter University's runner-up boxing champion, in a National Boxing Tournament Jermaine. As we begin our new weekly boxercise sessions with Jermaine, we will be honing our skills every week.
National Cheese and Wine day cheese and wine in the Garden
We up the sun here at Mount Tryon. This afternoon, we enjoyed wine and cheese in the garden and even pulled out the record player to play our vinyl albums. Everyone had a lovely time.
Our Beatrix Potter themed BBQ
We accompanied two of our lovely ladies to have Chinese meal at Tang Tang Chinese restaurant last week at Mount Tryon. One of our ladies' daughter was visiting from Costa Rica, so this was a special occasion for her and her daughter. Next week, we're having an Indian meal get-together at our home so that more of our residents can enjoy a treat as well.
