Activities at Mount Vale Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from PAT dogs, entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Dancing at Mount Vale
We have lots of singers come into Mount Vale, running alongside our activities schedule and our Residents really look forward to it. Looking at these photograph it’s hard to believe we are a Care Home as we have so many Residents who love getting up to dance and, as usual, one of our Chefs, Dana, always comes out for a little boogie when she can and our Residents love it!

Cheese and Wine Afternoon
Residents here at Mount Vale enjoyed a Cheese and Wine afternoon and although some Residents prefer to stay in their room, they all still enjoyed a tipple! Residents enjoyed chatting about the various cheeses and wines on offer, while Bambi enjoyed the treats!

A great visit from Aquatic Finatic
We had a great visit from Aquatic Finatic as usual, our furry, feathered and scaly friends delighted our Residents who couldn’t wait to have a hold.
We have pet therapy on a regular basis here at Mount Vale alongside our usual daily activities. We like to keep things interesting!
Another lovely afternoon.

Royal Parks London
Across our services our residents have enjoyed a wonderful live virtual talk about starlings, one of the UK’s most gregarious birds, hosted by Rachel Dowse from The Royal Parks London.
Rachel examined our long history with this bird and the importance of common species to our lives. Our residents had the opportunity to find out more about the great murmuration and why we need to pay special attention to these beauties before it's too late.
The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all.
