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
Connie 100th Birthday
Connie, one of our lovely residents at Mount Tryon, turned 100 years old.
The celebrations included four generations of family members gathering together to enjoy this momentum occasion, one daughter travelling all the way from Australia to be here today. We enjoyed a specially designed cake with her own old photos, a gorgeous personalised duvet cover, and a birthday card from the King and Queen.
Our staff at Mount Tryon participated as well, and Jo, our second chef baked Connie one of her favourite cakes.
Connie received an abundance of cards from people close and far away, including an email from an American care facility!
Happy 100th Birthday dear Connie.
Knit and Knatter
We had a really successful knit and natter activity session today at Mount Tryon. Which take place every other Tuesday Morning
Everyone enjoys a good chat, and it feels great to accomplish a goal without feeling like it took much work.
Why not join us on Easter Monday at 11 a.m. to assist our Easter bunny in finding her bunnies? We are creating Easter decorations and rewards for the search.

Green Fingers at Mount Tryon
This year at Mount Tryon we decided to make use of our wonderful garden by growing some vegetables and salad items.
We have sprouts, fingers crossed they will be ready for Christmas, spring onions, radish’s and carrots along with some delightful flowers, chosen by our residents.
It’s lovely to go out a see how the garden is maturing and our residents’ are looking forward to tending to their new gardening patch’s, plants and raised beds in the coming weeks and months.
Hawaiian Day at Mount Tryon
We had a lovely time recently for our Hawaiian day at Mount Tryon. Residents have made all of our own decorations, including props, which was very rewarding, particularly to see them all up on the walls and on the tables.
In the morning to keep to the theme we made homemade Hawaiian Pizza, with ham, cheese and pineapple which was served as an option on our evening menu.
Then in the afternoon we could see all hard work put to use, we enjoyed a Fruit platter and were entertained by Patrick Jervis - Entertainer.
Patrick sang lots of songs to suit our Hawaiian theme and he was fabulous.
