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.

Greenfingers

We have beautiful gardens and a Greenhouse here at Mount Vale and our Residents have really enjoyed planting seeds and looking after them. We have had bumper crops of Salads, Cucumbers, Peas and Courgettes which the Chef has been using in the kitchen. Jean and Barbara have really enjoyed pottering in the gardens and are very proud of the produce.

Twinkle toes!

Residents at Mount Vale were delighted to welcome Matt Jones-Green for an afternoon of musical entertainment. Matt’s live performance had everyone to their feet dancing and singing along too, as her performed a medley of popular hits. Everyone had a great afternoon!

Opera delight

Our homes had a fabulous time with the talented soprano Astrid Joos from Street Theatre. Astrid spoke about a selection of famous operas and our residents were treated to performances of wonderful arias from operas well-known to all, such as ‘Giuditta’, ‘Don Giovanni’ and ‘Le Nozze di Figaro’.

It was a lovely experience, truly enjoyed by all.

Virtual event with Dr Tim Howard

Residents across our homes had a lovely time joining Dr Tim Howard, 4th generation GP, whose whole life has been about patient care, for an exciting virtual event to discuss his novel ‘Let’s Kill All The Lawyers’.

The novel is a medical fiction thriller that explores the impact of life and death events, mistakes and forgiveness, and the impact of law and justice on the day- to-day lives of ordinary people doing their best in difficult circumstances.

Residents had the chance to ask their own questions once the discussion was over and a great time was had by all.

Chocolate treats

Our lovely nurse Liza enjoyed making ‘Chocolate Cringles’, a traditional sweet treat from the Philippines with our Residents. Not only did everyone enjoyed making them, they tasted great!

Reminiscing plays an integral role in our memory Lane community, so chatting about favourite things that remind you of home and younger years provoke such conversation and so many happy memories.

As you can see Mandy was giggling all the way through and Margaret was very focused on making them nice and round. It was a lovely afternoon.

Just passing through

Residents across our services had a lovely time joining Daniel Snowman, for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘Just Passing Through’.

Author of over a dozen books, Daniel Snowman’s long and active life has led him to interact in countless ways with the wider world and with some of its most famous inhabitants. His memoir evokes these experiences via a series of vivid literary vignettes.

Residents across the homes found the talk very intriguing and informative, and were happy to learn more about Daniel’s experiences around the world. Book club corner is part of our varied life enrichment programme. A great time was had by all.
