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
Supporting Our Community
We went to Rowcroft Hospice to present them with the money that was raised by residents and visitors throughout the summer. It was wonderful to know that we’ve been able to help them continue their fantastic work in supporting both their residents and members of the community.
Remembrance Sunday
To commemorate Remembrance Day this year, along with wearing poppies and watching the televised service, we planted some crosses in our garden to remember those who served our country.
We also held a special reminiscence session with a projection of clips and news footage from the war eras. We took some time to discuss those we have lost and our memories of those times, as well as sharing the stories that we have been told and keeping those memories alive.
Preparing for Remembrance Day
We’ve been getting ready for Remembrance Sunday by making and selling poppies around the home. We’ve especially enjoyed using tissue paper to make large poppies to decorate the wall, and have had some special reminiscence sessions talking about our memories of the war.
Heavenly Music
We were joined by Luc Walpot for some beautiful harp music in our Lounge. He performed a wonderful mix of classical pieces, along with a couple of songs that we could all join in with. We’re looking forward to his return!
Halloween Party
We enjoyed celebrating Halloween with a fabulous party. We were joined by some creepy crawlies, a spooktacular singer and even got in the spirit of the season with some face painting!
Pumpkin Carving
We’ve been getting in the spooky spirit with some pumpkin carving. We’ve enjoyed drawing our designs and carving them into the pumpkins. Even if we did get a bit messy, they now have pride of place, ready to welcome visitors into our home!
